Speaking of this Solar-CCTV (Solar Powered CCTV System) we have to understand what it is. In fact, Solar-CCTV is a device that relies on the sun's light to generate electricity and then power the CCTV system. Most of the CCTV systems we usually see need to connect power to the power supply. This thing is different and relies on solar energy conversion devices.
The main benefits of this Solar-CCTV are still many
1. First of all, the energy source
This is simply wonderful for some video surveillance in remote places and where there is no power grid easily covering. Whether it is mountains, isolated islands, or outdoor venues, as long as sufficient lighting conditions are provided. Therefore, the tedious work and cost of power supply laying have all been reduced a lot, and the subsequent operation costs are basically small problems and maintenance.
2. Let’s talk about the installation steps
Generally, it is carried out in several steps.
The first thing is to choose a location and choose a location with sufficient sunshine. This will have quite a lot of benefits for solar energy collection efficiency.
2. Install the solar panel bracket while ensuring that it is firm and tight. In terms of angle, adjust it properly to the south. Doing so is to absorb as much sunlight as possible.
3. The next step is to install solar panels on the bracket, securely fix them and ensure that each panel is connected closely.
4. The wires of the photovoltaic module must be connected to the controller, and the connection order is not wrong. If the DC error input becomes AC, the device may be incinerated. After that, continue to connect the lithium battery or lead-acid battery to store the power well.
3. Then on the equipment
Among solar panel materials, single crystal silicon can be considered to be relatively efficient, and of course the cost will be a bit high, but in the long run, the benefits are still OK.
The controller can optimize the DC charging of the photovoltaic module into the battery to ensure much less energy loss.
The deep cycle of the battery can output DC power for a long time and stably. But remember to check the lead acid type regularly to add water level to supplement it!
After that, let’s talk about common concerns in actual use:
Q: How do these systems perform especially when the weather is cloudy? In fact, Solar – although powered by sunlight, weak light can also be used to generate electricity on cloudy days, just slightly less electricity generated!
Compared with Solar and the traditional CCTV system that requires external power supply, the former is more dependent on natural conditions, but completely independent electricity does not rely on any public power grid. The latter tradition is relatively limited by wiring and other restrictions.
In short, for monitoring in open places or outdoor areas, Solar is definitely a great choice, environmentally friendly and labor-saving investment! So in my personal opinion, no matter where our monitoring project team or engineering provider is, for remote monitoring system installation or inconvenient power, it is absolutely correct to choose this kind of requirement!
