The solar panel has to be mounted where the sun can get at it. If you are in a higher theft area, this would be pretty noticable. Any trail camera that has a 6 or 12 volt external port would accept a solar panel. You would just have to match a 6 volt panel to a 6 volt camera or a 12 volt panel to a 12 volt camera. Your camera manual will state what power port you have. I believe to hook a solar panel direct to the camera, the solar panel would have its own back up battery. Other solar panels connect to an external battery that would then be connected to the camera.
