Solar CCTV Systems
Monitor remote locations without mains electricity using our solar-powered CCTV systems. Perfect for farms, construction sites, remote gates, vacant land, and areas experiencing frequent load shedding. Our solar systems include high-efficiency solar panels, deep-cycle batteries, charge controllers, and low-power IP cameras designed for continuous off-grid operation. Systems operate 24/7 even during extended cloudy periods with properly sized battery banks. Wireless 4G/LTE connectivity enables remote viewing without fixed internet connections. We calculate solar panel and battery requirements based on your location's sunlight hours, camera power consumption, and backup days needed. Complete installations include anti-theft mounting, weatherproof enclosures, and system monitoring to alert you of low battery or equipment issues.

Get Accurate QuoteFrequently Asked Questions
How many days can solar CCTV systems run without sun?
We design systems with 3-7 days battery autonomy depending on requirements. This ensures operation during extended cloudy weather or after storms. Battery capacity is sized based on camera power consumption and backup days needed.
Will solar systems work during load shedding?
Yes, solar CCTV systems are completely independent of mains power and unaffected by load shedding. They operate 24/7 regardless of grid conditions.
How do solar cameras connect to the internet?
For remote locations, we install 4G/LTE routers with SIM cards providing internet connectivity. Monthly data costs apply (typically R150-400 depending on usage).
Can solar systems handle multiple cameras?
Yes, but more cameras require larger solar panels and battery banks. A typical 100W solar panel with 100Ah battery supports 2-4 low-power cameras. We scale systems accordingly.
What happens if batteries run low?
Systems monitor battery voltage and send alerts when levels drop critically low. Properly sized systems rarely deplete batteries, but you can add backup generators for extreme reliability.
Are solar CCTV systems theft-proof?
We use anti-theft mounting brackets, secure enclosures, and position equipment high or in secured areas. Some clients also install alarms on solar panel enclosures for additional protection.
How much maintenance do solar systems need?
Minimal maintenance - periodic solar panel cleaning (dust/bird droppings), annual battery checks, and connection inspections. Most systems operate maintenance-free for years.
