Something Special In The Solar CCTV Camera

What is solar CCTV CAMERA?

One of the alternative energy sources that the security industry utilizes to help efficiently power CCTV cameras is solar energy. With solar CCTV cameras in a security system, you receive an environmentally safe system with a self-renewing power source for 24-hour surveillance.

Wireless Solar CCTV Cameras

Along with power storage, solar security cameras can also be employed wirelessly for areas far from power lines. Mounted on the solar panel pole, the solar camera connects to a wireless transmitter which sends the video feed to a receiver. The receiver will be located in a monitoring station closer to power lines to monitor and record the footage. Depending on the transmitter utilized, the monitoring station can be located as far as 2 miles away from the cameras themselves. At the monitoring station, a solar camera system can be connected to a network, allowing you to watch your camera from virtually anywhere, to view a place you would have assumed to be impossible due to power issues.

How does Solar CCTV work?

Solar security cameras utilize solar panels to capture the sun’s rays using photovoltaic cells, or solar cells, which convert the light into electricity to power the security cameras. The solar cells produce direct current (DC) power which then passes through an inverter to change the power to the desired voltage and frequency, such as AC current and 12 volt. After the power is converted into a usable power source, the solar camera uses this power for a green energy power source.
