Read the basic knowledge of solar camera
A solar camera is usually a camera powered and operated by a solar panel. At present, there are many solar camera products on the market that no longer rely on power supply or communication path, so they can be used in situations where traditional cameras that need wiring are difficult to use, such as poor power supply or network environment.
Application of solar camera
Monitoring of fields, pastures, mountains, ens
It is used to monitor wildlife damage in the field and pasture, illegal dumping, ens. Due to the objective conditions such as power supply and the inability to reach LAN cable lines in these areas, it is difficult for traditional surveillance camera equipment to deploy control in these areas. The solar camera can serve the environmental problems and achieve the purpose of monitoring.
Solar cameras can not only record but also view in real time according to different equipment, so they can be used like ordinary cameras even in places where people are difficult to stay or visit.
Temporary video recording at the construction site
On construction sites or temporary construction sites, solar cameras also play an important role. No need to connect power or communication lines, just install cameras to record video. For example, it is applicable to check the construction progress and prevent building materials from being stolen.
Principle of solar camera
The camera with integrated solar panel is powered by solar energy, so there is no need to ensure the power supply path. The generated power is stored in the vehicle battery, and can also be powered by the battery in case of bad weather.
In addition, in order to achieve full wireless, many devices integrate the equipment required for LTE communication, including LTE routers, for real-time viewing.
*Depending on the equipment, some cameras are usually equipped with LTE routers, and the camera has a wired LAN connection port, which can be connected to the network through an antenna.
Precautions when using solar camera
LTE communication real-time shooting cost
When using a fully wireless solar camera to view the real-time view, LTE communication is usually used. When watching video continuously in real time, it requires more communication costs than ordinary cameras, so you need to be cautious in the operation process.
Battery working time
When the weather is bad, the camera will work with the charged battery. Depending on the device, the run time using only the battery will vary, but some devices have been designed to extend the run time, for example by reducing power consumption.
Advantages of solar cameras
Fast and simple installation: when installing fixed wired equipment, commercial approval is required, and cables and wiring are used, which affects the overall beauty of the environment. The solar monitoring camera can be plug and play and placed anywhere you want. Once positioned, the solar connected camera requires little maintenance, just make sure the equipment is aimed at the light.
Dealing with power failure: In case of occasional bad weather, the power storage equipment connected to the solar panel will use its stored power to operate without leaving any monitoring blank period. When the solar panel experiences several days of low light, the backup battery can ensure the continuous operation of the equipment until the weather improves and the solar power supply capacity is restored.
Sustainable development: matching solar panels with wireless outdoor security cameras may help reduce electricity bills, and also contribute to reducing carbon emissions by reducing electricity consumption. Solar equipment with rechargeable batteries can also reduce the use rate of disposable batteries.
