OFF-GRID APPLICATIONS

Security / CCTV

Off-Grid Solar Powered Emergency Lights, Automatic Gate, Security & CCTV Systems

The remote nature of many security systems, coupled with the low power draw of some today’s ultra-efficient cameras, makes CCTV an ideal application for solar or wind power.

Stand-alone solar powered wireless CCTV technology means that the entire system can be installed without running power or data cables, which can be extremely costly over a wide area.

An independent power supply with our Green Energy Storages means continuous, uninterrupted surveillance when there is a local power cut or even if the national grid goes down.

Efficient, Modern Cameras

Modern network or IP cameras are ideal for use with a solar PV system due to their HIGH EFFICIENCY and their ability to send the images off-site via a wireless data signal. These cameras can use as little as 3 watts.

Use of a DC to AC inverter to convert the battery power (DC) to mains (AC) is NOT recommended, due to the inefficiencies added to the system. A wide range of HIGH EFFICIENCY 12V or 24V DC cameras are on the market.

Very often, it will prove more cost effective to replace an older security camera system with a new one, just because of the modern equipment's reduced power requirement. Modern cameras use ultra-violet LEDs for night filming, which are much more efficient than other techniques.

Custom Designed Solar CCTV Power Kits You Can Trust

At PLUTO 4, we design and supply bespoke solar or wind power systems for your specific CCTV application. We also offer ‘plug & play’ power kits, with pre-wired control boards and customised cable sets. Our fully tested plug and play power systems are exceptionally simple to install, saving your installation engineers many hours of on-site work.

Due to the critical nature of most security systems, we suggest that you establish the average power draw of your planned CCTV equipment, and then pass details of your requirements to our system design team, who will be happy to design a suitable power system for you. Please include FULL DETAILS such as CCTV site location, daily watt hours required and the supply voltage of your camera.
