question.
can a 9V solar panel be used on a tcam that runs on 4 AA batteries. that would make it a 6V cam. it can hold 8 AAs, but will run on just 4. also, the plug in the bottom of the cam says 6V.
i'm guessing it needs to be a 6V solar panel and that a 9V will not work.
my brother ordered a couple cams for me, and solar panels too. but i'm thinking they aren't the proper solar panels. but he's saying that the output doesn't matter because it's charging. that it's the same as charging your vehicle. the battery is a 12V but the alternator is putting out up to 16 volts and even up to 18 volts.
