Installing a security video surveillance system outdoor requires two conditions for the camera to work normally. One is that there is a power supply for the camera, and the other is that there is a network that can transmit video signals. The signal transmission of the network camera can be through wired (network cable, optical fiber), wireless (4G, 5G, Wi-Fi or wireless AP) and other methods. In addition to the conventional way of laying out power lines for power supply, you can also consider using solar energy + battery power supply. It is a very good choice to deploy a security video surveillance system outdoors without electricity or network, and to use a solar-powered 4G surveillance camera.

Because the concepts of environmental protection and low carbon are generally accepted, the development of new energy technologies, and clean energy such as solar energy and wind energy are widely used for power supply. In the field of security, using solar power to get rid of the shackles of wiring, camera selection, installation is more flexible, convenient, fast, and to some extent more cost-effective.

The difference between solar 4G cameras and ordinary surveillance cameras is mainly reflected in three aspects: low power consumption, solar panels, and built-in batteries. This article summarizes solar-powered security cameras from these three aspects.

Solar panel cameras have become a popular tool in the surveillance industry due to their unique features and practicality. These cameras are equipped with solar panels that absorb solar energy and convert it into electrical energy to power their operation. This means the cameras can operate for extended periods without the need for external power sources, making them ideal for remote areas and outdoor use.
