    Hello,
    -So great your teaching your daughter how to do these things, your a good dad and shes a lucky girl.
    - If its solar powered, what if it rains or is cloudy for a couple of days, will it still work?
    - Tried your link to this product, doesnt work.
    - Important for me to know..does the manufacturers of these products pay you to demonstrate their products or do you just get paid from RUclips (or Google) for uploading your videos? I'm sure you can understand why I ask..Thank you for your time.

      Thanks! I installed this on my parents van, which gets parked in the garage (dark) for long periods of time. It still does well, but if the battery does due there is a USB charging port on the underside that you can recharge it from.
      As far as if the camera's manufacturer is paying me; no they aren't.... but if they're reading this and they want to send me a check I won't complain :-)
