Solar Powered Video with Wireless or Cellular Communications |
|
There are a variety of issues to consider when contemplating installing a solar system to power your video system.
The biggest issue might be price. A complete commercial grade system that includes the solar plant, wireless or cellular communications to transmit video and a high performance IP camera is going to start at minimum of $5500 for these basic components. Plus freight, mounting pole if required, misc installation parts, set up and commissioning of system.
Where you are located, how much sunlight you receive and how much power is required to run the various components of your system is going to determine the size of the solar panels and storage batteries.
If solar power is not practical due to lack of sunlight in winter, extreme cold (reduces battery performance), etc there are a variety of alternative power supplies for remote locations that you might consider such as fuel cells and thermoelectric generators. More about these systems in a later post. |

POE Switches in HOT environments |
|
Typical power over ethernet (POE) switches are rated to operate in temperatures up to 105 degrees F.
If you are contemplating installing your POE switch somewhere that is likely to be higher temperatures than this, like an attic in hot country, then you will require a hardened industrial switch which will operate in temperatures of up to 185 degrees F. |
