Designed for use in scenic spots and rural areas and for other situations where a mains power source is not available, our Hybrid Solar and Wind webcam power system is ideal for the more powerful webcam installation requirements. Motorised PTZ webcams, multiple webcams and live streaming 24 hours using full IR night vision may use more power than Solar alone could provide without a very large Solar array. So in such a situation a combined Wind and Solar webcam power system can be used.
The use of both Solar and Wind sources connected to our Hybrid Lithium battery charge controller system ensures a constantly available webcam power source in all weather conditions as when Solar output falls during low light conditions and the winter months the Wind Turbine can still provide output.
As power requirements will vary according to the webcam(s) and other devices to be used, each installation is calculated accordingly.

Using Solar power means you can install and monitor a camera in a remote location where there are no main services, or can be used as a rapid deployment camera for a temporary event or solution.
By using a 4G camera with the solar power system the signal will be sent via the mobile phone network and therefore providing you have a good signal the solar camera system can be fitted almost anywhere. If you need to use 4G but need a different style camera then you can use our 4G data package with the camera you need and the system can also be used with our long range IP transmission system so you could deploy a camera up to 4 miles (line of sight) from a good internet connection and link it to that - all powered from the solar power system. It could even be used, with suitable equipment, as a remote recording station with data being retrieved either remotely or by visiting the site at periods to gather the information.
All this is possible but you must bear in mind that there is a finite amount of power available and therefore you should calculate power usage carefully and take note that its darker earlier in winter, and at the north of the country etc. and take that into account when calculating power requirements. You can calculate best case power available from the formula below.
So the standard backup time in hours, needs to be divided by the total load power consumption in Watts. This will give you an idea of total backup time for the equipment you intend to use. Remember that most cameras use more power at night as this is when they switch on the IR lights to illuminate their viewing area.
Standard Backup Time in normal conditions: (20°C) >Backup time (h) =576W / total load power consumption (W) So for example if your total load consumption taking in all the factors is 6W, then backup time will be 576Wh / 6W = 96h MAX.
