Yes, your camera can still charge while it’s in sleep mode.
Understanding Sleep Mode
When the camera enters sleep mode, it temporarily pauses non-essential activities, such as live streaming, recording, and motion detection to save energy. However, essential background systems like the power management circuit remain active.
Charging Behavior in Sleep Mode
Even when the camera is asleep, its charging circuit continues to function. If the device is connected to a power source (such as a 5V/1.5A charger or a solar panel), it will keep charging normally. Once the battery reaches full capacity, the system automatically stops charging to prevent overcharging.
Recommended Usage
When using a solar panel, make sure it receives sufficient sunlight; it will not charge at all during cloudy weather or at night.
In Short
Sleep mode conserves energy for the camera’s operations but does not disable charging. You can safely charge your camera at any time, whether it’s active or asleep.
