Are you looking for a way to provide power and remote connectivity to your own IP camera or other device in an off-grid area? Then Foscam CCTV has the solution.

Foscam’s Off Grid Solar Security Hub provides a regulated 12v supply to power your device along with a standard USB outlet. This model is equipped with an oversized 80W panel to enable faster recharge time for those cloudy days and help reduce down time.

The system has its own Lithium battery charged via an on-board solar panel allowing it to run indefinitely without recharging from the mains. It’s completely silent – perfect for residential areas or a long deployment. The power system is designed for SA conditions and is fully compliant with SA electrical regulations. It includes an industrial 12v regulated power supply to protect your equipment from voltage variances.

System parameters:-  1 x 12V 20Ah LiFeP04 or 25Ah LiFeP04 depending on your selection.

SPECIFICATIONS – Solar Mount

Pole mount housing

The entire system is housed in an industrial grade IP66 rated enclosure supported by a rugged pole mount frame. The standard enclosure is designed to connect to an external device (such as an IP camera and LTE router).

Pole mount for solar panel: Aluminum alloy brackets with stainless steel hardware

Setting angle: 45° for capturing the correct angle for the sun

Mounting pole (to be supplied by installer/customer for combination of solar panels and battery/control box): recommended minimum - 75-100mm x 3mm steel for 3metre above ground.

NOTE: POLE is NOT INCLUDED in the kit and dimension are only a guideline. It is the responsibility of the client to ensure that correct erection procedure for the pole is followed.

Wind load: 80Kkm/Hr

Hail loading: 1.1Kn/m ²

Assembled weight (includes 1 x 80W panel): 11.2kg without the camera

Attention: Edges may be sharp

Solar panel mount set comes with: 1 upper bracket, 1 lower bracket, 2 x U-bolts (straps), 2 x M6 hex-head bolts, 4 x washers, 2 x M6 nyloc nuts, 2 x M6 hex-head bolts for solar panel, 4 x flat washers for solar panel, 2 x nyloc nuts for solar panel.

Installation: To the greatest extent possible, the installation site should allow unshaded exposure to the sun throughout daylight hours.
