More System Options:

Sentinel V-series solar powered time lapse & motion trigger camera system.

The latest in solar power technology, combined with a high definition time lapse ready IP camera. This stand alone image recording solution is ideal for time lapse image recording of construction sites, analysis of wildlife and conservation research, as well as some security and monitoring applications.

Supported by today's affordable solar energy solutions, this true stand alone camera recording system is now achievable. To compliment these technologies we utilise a premium high definition IP camera with amazing functionality. The quality of the camera and the images it produces creates excellent time lapse recording utilising it's full HD 1920x1080 pixel resolution.

System Includes:

High definition IP Camera for regular interval image capture (1920x1080 resolution)
Solar panel, battery and power control microprocessor system
Digital timer control for advanced power management
Steel weather proof locakble case and mounting hardware for easy installation at any location

1. High definition 1920x1080 Multi-Stream Day/Night auto-iris outdoor camera delivering stunning resolution in extreme conditions. 30 frame per second full resolution streaming video (bandwidth and power permitting). The multi stream system will allow up to four different simultaneous images/video stream settings for multiple simultaneous applications. Continue to automatically capture your time lapse images uninterupted while manipulating the camera manually.

2. High quality German built monocrystalline solar panel. High efficiency, long life, heavy duty panel frame for exposed conditions, uv stabilised outdoor rated cables and connectors.

3. Galvanised external mounting rails and hardware. The system is designed to integrate and mount directly with any readily available 25mm NB poles and fittings commonly used in farming, fencing, gates, masts and antenna mounting systems. Talk to us about our frames, masts and mounting options.

4. PV Connectors. Your solar panels positive and negative leads plug directly to the unit with IP67 rated outoor weather resistant connectors.

5. Microprocessor controlled power management and charging system. Three stage Bulk, Float and Absortion charging.

6. Heavy Duty Steel Outdoor Enclosure.

7. Filtered air intake (multi stage) with moisture catch chamber. Easily change internal filters.

Battery powered with solar recharge.

For the ability to truly be a stand alone system we have incorporated a solar powered battery and controller system to recharge the battery during daylight hours while the camera and system is being used. Ideal for remote location monitoring where access to a power source may not be available or excellent for construction projects where a camera position may need to be altered periodically without the worry of connection to a power supply.

Anywhere, anytime, this solar powered IP camera system can be installed easily and quickly.

High Definition Multi-Stream Web Camera

Vivotek IP8362 A best-in-class 2-megapixel 1080p network camera for extreme outdoor applications. This camera boasts high-definition 2 Megapixel HD (1920 x 1080) resolution, allowing for the delivery of extremely detailed images and coverage 6 times larger than a VGA camera.

To maximize the benefit of the 2-megapixel sensor, the IP8362 employs several innovative technologies for optimized bandwidth efficiency. The ePTZ function enables users to quickly move to a target area for close-up shots without moving the camera physically. Users can also receive only the portions of the images they are interested in via the cropping function.

Multiple video streams can be delivered simultaneously in different resolutions, frame rates, and image qualities for viewing on different platforms so as to meet different needs or bandwidth constraints. The IP8362 also offers activity adaptive streaming support that dynamically allocates bandwidth according to the video content and trigger state.

Aimed at outdoor surveillance, the IP8362 features auto-iris capability to protect the lens from damage induced by direct sunlight. To adapt to light changes throughout the day, the camera is furnished with a removable IR-cut filter and IR illumina- tors for superior image quality around the clock. The IP8362 also comes with an IP67-rated housing that offers protection against rain and dust to ensure functional operation in all types of weather conditions. For easy management and protection against tempering and vandalism, the IP8362 is also equipped with a mounting bracket that conceals all cables within the bracket.

With other advanced features such as tamper detection, 802.3af compliant PoE, Micro SD/SDHC card on-board storage, and two-way audio via SIP protocol, the IP8362 is an all-in-one network camera for outdoor environments.

Solar Charge Controller

Solar controler with internal microprocessor which provides the optimal charging current and voltage. The 3-stage (Bulk, Absorption & Float) charger ensures proper maintenance of lead acid type batteries, maximising their service life.

EXTENDED BATTERY LIFE - PWM series battery charging with temperature compensation

TROPICALISATION - Enpoxy encapsulated, marine rated terminals and anodised aluminium case.

IDEAL FOR GAS/OIL APPLICATIONS - The charge controller is approved for use in hazardous locations: Class 1, Division 2, Groups A-D

Monocrystalline Solar Panel

Approved by the Clean Energy Council of Australia. These monocrystalline silicon solar panels are designed for long life (up to 25 years) and high efficiency output. An excellent solution for remote or mobile power applications. Aluminium frames and tempered glass panels allow installation in demanding environments. To prevent moisture ingress, the solar cell modules are protected by a sheet of 3.2mm tempered glass. Operating temperature -40°C to 85°C.

Lead Acid Battery

Sealed, non spillable 20 Amp/Hour Lead Acid Battery.

Specialised Industrial Grade Outdoor Mounting and Equipment Housing

Custom built hardware and mounting system with steel control box and solar panel installed on a galvanised mounting pole. The lockable steel control box includes the solar powered 12V battery, solar charge controller and industrial 3G wireless modem/router housed in a weather proof environment.

Includes:

UV stabilised cables and plugs
Steel lockable case with internal cooling for battery, controller and modem/router
Rugged industrial outdoor design and construction
Insect proof, moisture containment, dust filtered fan circulation
