CC Cameras

With solar CCTV cameras in a security system, you receive an environmentally safe system with a self-renewing power source for 24-hour surveillance.

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. (Read more on power supply for CCTV).

The size and number of panels needed to power a camera are determined by the location and amount of sun available where you are planning to mount the camera. Solar cameras generally come in a system with the necessary solar panels and a pole to mount the cameras.
