Solar CCTV Installation: Poles, Panels, and Batteries
A solar CCTV branch is really a small remote power system with a camera attached. That is why rushed installs usually fail at the pole, the sun path or the network test before they fail at the camera itself.

Installer Guide
What the installer usually works out first
- Where the real risk point is
- Whether the branch belongs on a pole, post, container, building corner or gate upright
- Whether the panel will still see sun later
- Whether 4G works at final height
- Whether the branch should be cellular or bridge-linked
What usually goes wrong
- Panel later shaded by scaffold, shed or materials
- 4G only tested at ground level
- Mount too low or too easy to tamper with
- Wide pretty view instead of useful evidence view
- No final playback test before handover
