Since 4G Solar Security Cameras don’t need modem for connections, they’re becoming more and more popular. Solar 4G Security Cameras don’t only operate using the 4G network. They also get charged by the solar power resources; they use solar panels to change sunlight into direct current electricity and charges the batteries. Solar energy has been proved to be one of the most reliable power sources and this energy-efficient power source has been implemented as part of the security camera. So, if you are interested in upgrading your security cameras to 4G solar security cameras you can keep on reading to find more about 4G solar security cameras.
Solar Or AC Powered Camera?
Security cameras, like any other types of electronic device, need to be charged. In other words, they all need a power source to run. AC powered CCTV cameras are connected to an electric power source through cables. If you are getting a solar one, then the sun recharges the batteries in solar security cameras. The solar panel on these cameras helps to ensure that the batteries are refilled.
And that helps the camera to run over night or when the sun is not that bright. These batteries last for 1 to 3 years before they need to be changed and replaced.
What exactly are 4G Solar Security Cameras?
The shift from wired to wireless security cameras is a significant improvement in CCTV security systems. The invention of 4G security cameras is even a better achievement and development. These cameras use the 4G mobile network and therefore they do not require a wired or wireless (Modem) connection. The footage is automatically recorded on a MicroSD card in these cameras. The functionality of 4G security cameras differs depending on their model. Many of them have could record into cloud, FTP and some can only record into local SD card.
