“To help remote operations increase their security, Hikvision has created the solar-powered security camera setup. This simple, practical, and cost-effective solution use a 40-watt photovoltaic panel and a long-lasting 20 Ah rechargeable lithium battery to power a Hikvision EXIR fixed bullet-type solar 4G network camera. “
Until now, it has been difficult for remote sites and operations to protect their people and assets, especially when there is no power supply or fixed networks available. All kinds of remote and rural sites require constant security monitoring, from farms and fisheries to forestry operations, oil and gas pipelines, and even national parks. The problem, however, is that these types of sites are often “off the grid,” without the power and fixed network connectivity required to implement security monitoring cameras.
As an added challenge, many sites only have temporary security requirements, making the cost of implementing “fixed” cameras prohibitive. This is the case with open-air music festivals, political rallies, and many other events. A variety of other sites and operations also have short-term monitoring needs, from construction sites to temporary road maintenance jobs.Meeting the security requirements in these types of remote and temporary sites requires a new type of ‘standalone’ solution: one that can function independently, without physical connections to the electrical grid or a fixed network. According to Miguel Arrañaga, Pre-Sales Director of Hikvision, standalone solutions must be quick and easy to implement, highly durable to withstand the harshest weather conditions, and affordable enough to meet the needs of all types of operations and remote sites.
“To help remote operations increase their security, Hikvision has created the solar powered security camera setup. This simple, practical and cost-effective solution uses a 40-watt photovoltaic panel and a long-lasting 20 Ah rechargeable lithium battery to power a Hikvision EXIR fixed bullet-type solar 4G network camera. “
Because the solar-powered security camera setup uses solar power and includes a Micro SIM card for 4G network connectivity, there is no need for on-site fixed power or network cables. In addition, operators can monitor, review and store images remotely, 24 hours a day, 365 days a year.
With the Hikvision solar-powered security camera, remote sites and operations can increase their security quickly, easily, and economically. With no need for a fixed network or power supply and a simple one-person installation, the solution can be deployed in hours, with very little need for maintenance or ongoing support.
The Hikvision EXIR 4G network camera provided with the solar-powered security camera setup offers high-resolution images (1920 x 1080 pixels at 30 fps). Furthermore, the camera provides very clear images even where there is strong backlight due to Hikvision’s true 120 dB wide dynamic range (WDR) technology.
The excellent quality and clarity of the video images mean that operators can quickly identify and react to security incidents at remote sites, helping to reduce negative business impacts.
The product employs BMS (Battery Management System) in its 20Ah Lithium battery, which ensures optimal use of battery power. With its smart power management features, the solar-powered security camera setup provides up to 7 days of operation during cloudy or rainy periods when fully charged. Its 4G camera also adds a 32GB eMMC (Integrated MultiMediaCard) in addition to the SD card, this ensures continuous video recording when there is an abnormality with the SD card or network environment. In addition, the self-contained unit is waterproof (accredited to the IP67 standard) and wind resistant (with a hurricane rating of 12). All of this means that operators can continue to monitor and secure their remote sites without interruption, even in the harshest and most challenging weather conditions.
One person can install the solution at remote sites, making the process quick, easy, and cost-effective, thanks to its lightweight design. The pole-mounted unit weighs only 14kg and there are no complex cables to connect, further reducing deployment time and complexity. This speed and ease of deployment significantly reduce barriers to remote sites and operations seeking to increase their security. It is also one of the main reasons why it is the ideal choice for temporary sites such as construction sites and road maintenance sites.
