How to connect an Outdoor camera to a Solar Panel?

I recently purchased two Battery Camera SE cameras. I was told they would work with the Roku solar panels. The problem is that the SE uses a usb-c cable and the solar panels have a male micro-usb plug. Does Roku make an adapter? If so, why is it not included with either the camera or the solar panel?

  • It’s  not compatible only because you don’t have the micro-usb to usb-c adapter. The input voltage is the same according to the info plate on both cameras.

      No. This in no way helps. Again, the camera uses a usb-c and the solar panels cord uses a micro-usb.

        Thanks for your response! Tmberrie2013​

        What is the model of your Roku Outdoor Camera? The Roku Outdoor Camera SE (CW1000X) uses a USB cable.

        Looking forward to your response.
