Advantages of solar CCTV security systems

Home security systems have become highly affordable in the modern world, so most homes can be protected without breaking the bank.

Solar-powered CCTV comes saddled with all of the features you would expect from traditional setups. Featuring crystal clear HD vision, WiFi connection, cloud or SD card storage and much more, there is a range of additional benefits that only these systems can deliver. 

Solar security is easier to install 

These cameras simply need to be mounted, pointed in the right direction and then you are ready to go – whereas hard-wired systems require complex wiring, professional installation and modifications to your home.

When you’re considering the expenses associated with installing your security system, these cameras are ready out of the box – while electric versions are a lot more expensive.

It’s harder for thieves to cut the power 

Modern day criminals are savvy to the fact that homeowners and businesses are using technology to detect their presence. Many move on to easier targets, but the more persistent criminals go to great lengths to target your premises. In some cases they cut the electricity to your home in order to disable any lights, motion sensors and security devices.

Renewably-powered CCTV is run independently and continues to function if there is a mains outage. This also means would-be thieves would not be aware they’re on camera, which could be crucial when it comes to identifying and apprehending them.

Not being powered by mains electricity also means you are not at the mercy of blackouts and outages. Your security is assured around the clock.

You can use them in remote locations 

There are scenarios where you may want to secure a building or machinery where there isn’t a reliable electricity connection. Mining sites, work storage sheds, farming buildings and many other premises can be secured with solar CCTV solutions where electric solutions won’t function.

They’re easy to scale 

If you’re a growing business, your security needs today may not be enough to protect your premises in the future. When you hardwire a system, adding additional cameras can be a challenging and expensive exercise.

When you choose solar CCTV options, you can simply add extra cameras as you need them without expensive re-wiring or alterations to your existing system.

This also applies at home. If you need to move or want a larger property to accommodate a growing family, you can simply take the cameras with you and add extra options as you need them.

They’re better for the environment 

You’ll have greater reliability and enjoy savings on your electricity bill when you use solar solutions. You’ll also be improving your carbon footprint, which is vital as we transition away from fossil fuels.
