Extend Battery Life. Reduce Charging. Stay Protected.

The ADC-VACC-SP4W is designed specifically for Alarm.com’s battery-operated camera, the ADC-V731B. This 4W solar panel helps maintain the camera’s battery level and, in low-traffic areas, can significantly reduce — or even eliminate — the need for manual recharging.

At St. Louis Alarm Company, we recommend this accessory for customers installing the V731B in high sunlight areas to maximize long-term performance.


Why Add the VACC-SP4W?

  • Helps maintain battery charge year-round

  • Ideal for lower-traffic areas with fewer motion events

  • Reduces maintenance and ladder climbs

  • 3-meter (9.85 ft) cable allows flexible placement

  • Maintains IP65 weather resistance when connected

When connected to the V731B, the USB-C connector creates a water-tight seal, preserving both the camera and panel’s IP65 rating.

To protect battery longevity, the solar panel will not charge the camera above 80% capacity. This smart charging limit helps extend the long-term life of the lithium battery.


Installation & Positioning Tips

For best performance:

  • Face the panel south (in the northern hemisphere).

  • Mount at approximately a 45-degree angle for optimal sunlight capture.

  • Adjust tilt seasonally if needed.

  • Avoid shade from trees, rooflines, or nearby structures.

The adjustable mount allows 360° rotation and 180° tilt, giving you flexibility to optimize sun exposure.
