Solar Powered Surveillance Camera Project 3

[@ccish8098]

Man with all that wind I would of used a wind generator, great vid

[@LDSreliance]

Yeah, no kidding! Oklahoma is a windy place for sure. I don't know why it decided to be so windy during this project. Sure made it harder. Thanks for the comment!

[@aa999xyz]

great looking project, what about some surge protection that would fit perfectly on that din rail just beside the breaker just about $20?

[@LDSreliance]

For sure, that would be a good addition. I was not expecting a lightning strike to the system but I guess you never know.

[@danz409]

quite an angle. how far north are you? gotta be somewhere in Canada/Alaska right?

[@LDSreliance]

No. Oklahoma.

[@glennmontgomery6141]

Can you tell me where you got the metal box to store the battery?

[@LDSreliance]

Yes, Tycon Systems. I can get you a quote on one if you would like. Shoot me an email at [e-mail]. tyconsystems.com/products/tycon-solar/all/item/160-enc-st-23x14x12

[@offgridmangogrower]

Thats a real slick set up....like to see the image quality from the motion trigger(s)...?

[@LDSreliance]

Thanks! Unfortunately, I don't work for that company any more and I don't have access to the footage. Sorry about that.

[@chickenyousobeautiful]

hi，may i know if the pv module is charging the battery and powering the camera at the same time? or the module just charge battery only and the camera draw power from the battery?

[@LDSreliance]

It can do both at the same time. The panel is big enough that it can power the camera all day while it fully charges the battery.

[@solomontwum-ampofo572]

Please what does record onto Do you have a special NVR Or DVR?

[@LDSreliance]

Yes, it was recording on to an NVR and it was set to capture video when it detected motion.

[@mjsheridan214]

@@LDSreliance do you have a video of the full set up including recording devices? I’m setting up solar panels with a 4 camera system at deer lease and no power other than sun. This is all new to me. I appreciate your channel and your videos.

[@djfade1599]

Hello any advice on where someone can get this type of training.?

[@LDSreliance]

Training to install solar?

[@Texasredfish5114]

Where can I order that weather proof pannel you installed with the battery in it?

[@Texasredfish5114]

LDSreliance Thanks so much! Cheers!

[@AlienAndrew51]

How much did all of this cost?

[@LDSreliance]

Right around $1200 for all the equipment.

[@sonofed3907]

Nice Video!! Question regarding the solar pannel. What's it's max output? Do you think it would be possible to run a 40 volt appliance 24hours a day?

[@LDSreliance]

Thanks! The solar panel was 100W. How many amps is your appliance?

[@Albertwildhorseshoer]

re: microphone noise, you might be able tp=o place an air diffuse over the microphone intake area.

[@LDSreliance]

Yeah, sorry. I didn't have my normal lavalier mic with the wind screen with me.

[@jwsolarusa]

Nice setup buddy.

[@LDSreliance]

+JWSolarusa John Wesley Hey thanks! Appreciate that. Thanks for watching.

[@jwsolarusa]

LDSreliance You are welcome. Please checkout my channel and subscribe

[@LDSreliance]

JWSolarusa John Wesley I checked it out.

[@hamudified7663]

hi lds i would recommend u to use microphone muff for camera it would reduce the wind noice

[@LDSreliance]

+AlimanFX This was shot on my cell phone. I was at work and did not have time or the opportunity to set up a proper camcorder tripod, lights, microphones, etc. I just wanted to show a commercial install of solar.

[@hamudified7663]

+LDSreliance ok ;) nice vid

[@LDSreliance]

AlimanFX Sorry, I know it is hard to hear and isn't ideal but it is better than nothing :) Thanks for watching!

[@rajeevvisiosecuritysolutio4304]

excellent...

[@David1207811]

Really, I'm in love with this kit and the simplicity in installation . Where can I get one to buy? Thanks. Good job, man.

[@LDSreliance]

You can email me at [e-mail]. Thanks!

[@josuahtampugao2422]

sir can you hire me as your helper installing cctv or solar? i am from phillippines

[@LDSreliance]

I wish I could afford to hire a helper!

[@ChrisDIYerOklahoma]

Cool stuff...sounds like Moore.

[@LDSreliance]

+Chris DIYer Haha, it was Edmond but close enough! The past 2 weeks have been stupid windy.

[@MrScoops812]

Had no idea where you were until i recognized the dealership behind you. I have bought alot of equipment there. I moved and live in Thailand now........and I dont miss the wind at all. Enjoy your videos.

[@LDSreliance]

MrScoops812 Hey, thanks! Our property used to be Edmond Rock. Small world! What took you to Thailand?

[@MrScoops812]

LDSreliance Retirement....then wanting to travel......came here ......liked it....and decided to stay. Im looking into solar here and at my place in NW Oklahoma. Here its a little more difficult to find solar products without shipping from China.

[@LDSreliance]

MrScoops812 Yeah, I can imagine it will be harder to find quality, trustworthy stuff over there, especially if you don't speak and read the language fluently. If the stuff is small enough I am sure you could buy it in the states and carry it on the plane with you or in your luggage.

[@mrlrob3102]

Great vid.

[@LDSreliance]

Thanks again.

[@GatorLife57]

Thumbs up ! Thanks for sharing. ENJOY....THE SIMPLE LIFE

[@LDSreliance]

+Wolf Travels2 Thanks!

[@ballenlong1]

Sounds like you could use a windmill instead😏

[@LDSreliance]

Haha no kidding. I wish they made small wind turbines that actually made power.

[@Ohio-PPG-Trike-Adventures]

Sounds like you need a turbine project!

[@leodanryan966]

I'm going to just throw this out there, but I think I'd put mine around 12-15 ft. above the ground. But I think anyone with a shotgun could easily defeat the system. What's even dumber is I'm trying to find out how to do it myself, LOL

[@LDSreliance]

I think anyone with a gun could take out a security camera from far enough away to not be seen. Where there is a will there is a way. I don't think the camera being up higher would make much difference.

[@TheJason1957]

Seems like a waste of time and money, Why not run a cat5e wire with boosters to give you up to 2000 ft of power to POE Camera? Have the DVR in the building. If its farther then that use a WiFi set up.

[@LDSreliance]

You must not be familiar with how much it costs to properly bury underground cables. It would have been 5x more to do it that way.

[@davidjones1393]

HAD ONE ON THE FARM FOR WATER PUMP A SOME ONE STOLED IT WAD BY THE HWY TO

[@LDSreliance]

+DAVID JONES Man that sucks. It would be pretty easy to steal. Just loosen a few nuts and disconnect the wires or cut them and you are off. Mine is behind a fence, though, and there will be other cameras that would see what was going on so we could report it to the police.

[@Bgill4177]

David can you tell me where i can purchase the whole solar camera system with box
