Xiaomi reveals new solar panel accessory on global website

The Outdoor Camera Solar Panel uses monocrystalline silicon with a maximum power output of 5W. You can connect the solar panel to your smart security camera via USB-C via the accompanying 3 m (~9.8 ft) extension cord, with the connection said to be waterproof. Plus, the accessory is IP66-rated dust and water-resistant, and it can operate in temperatures ranging from -20 to 55°C (~-4 to 131°F), which should allow it to work in many countries with various weather conditions.

The solar panel measures 218 x 178 x 16 mm (~8.6 x 7.0 x 0.6 inches) and comes with various accessories like a mounting bracket, positioning sticker and screws. It is unclear when the Xiaomi Outdoor Camera Solar Panel (BW Series) will launch, in which countries and at what price. The release date for the Xiaomi Outdoor Camera BW300 and the BW500 are also unknown. However, an Amazon listing in Germany for the Xiaomi Outdoor Camera BW500 suggests that it could go on sale here shortly.
