Product Overview
The Hikvision DS-2XS6K01-C120S180 is a solar power kit designed to provide off-grid power for compatible surveillance equipment where mains electricity is unavailable or impractical to install. It combines a 180 W single-crystal silicon solar panel with a 12.8 V lithium iron phosphate battery system listed at 1280 Wh in the detailed battery specification. The panel is rated at 22% conversion efficiency, while the battery management system provides high- and low-temperature protection, charge-discharge protection, low-battery sleep protection and remote wake-up. Dual DC output options support compatible 12 V-class and 24 V equipment, while RS-485 connectivity allows battery information retrieval. LED indicators show battery percentage plus charging and discharging status for easier maintenance.
Key Capabilities
180 W Monocrystalline Solar Panel
The kit uses a 180 W single-crystal silicon solar panel with a stated conversion efficiency of 22%, providing renewable charging for compatible surveillance equipment deployed away from mains power.
1280 Wh LiFePO4 Battery
The detailed battery specification lists 1280 Wh capacity at 12.8 VDC, using lithium iron phosphate chemistry selected for long service life and improved safety in remote-power applications.
Battery Protection & Management
Integrated management supports high- and low-temperature protection, charge-discharge protection, low-battery sleep protection, remote wake-up and low-power protection to reduce unnecessary power cycling.
Dual DC Power Outputs
The system provides 11.6–14.6 VDC output up to 120 W and 24 VDC output up to 60 W, allowing different compatible surveillance devices to be powered from the same solar kit.
RS-485 Battery Monitoring
A half-duplex RS-485 interface operating at 9600 bps supports battery information retrieval when connected to compatible Hikvision solar-powered camera solutions.
Long-Cycle LiFePO4 Chemistry
Hikvision specifies more than 2,000 battery cycles at 25°C ±2°C, supporting long-term off-grid surveillance where reliable rechargeable storage is required.
Best For
- Remote CCTV Sites: Suitable where mains power is unavailable and surveillance equipment must operate from solar energy and stored battery power.
- Construction & Temporary Sites: Useful for deployments where running permanent mains cabling is impractical or not yet available.
- Rural & Perimeter Surveillance: Provides an off-grid power platform for compatible cameras positioned around remote boundaries, roads or infrastructure.
- Solar-Powered 4G Camera Systems: RS-485 battery information retrieval supports integration with compatible Hikvision Solar Power 4G Network Camera Kit solutions.
- Low-Maintenance Remote Power: Battery status LEDs and protection functions help simplify operation and maintenance at sites that are not visited frequently.
Why Choose the DS-2XS6K01-C120S180
The DS-2XS6K01-C120S180 combines solar generation, LiFePO4 energy storage and battery management in one purpose-built surveillance power system. Its 180 W panel and 1280 Wh battery specification provide significantly more reserve capacity than small standalone solar camera solutions, while dual DC outputs support different compatible equipment requirements. Protection against temperature extremes, over-charge and over-discharge conditions also helps manage battery operation in remote sites. Available through Security Wholesalers, the kit is particularly useful where the surveillance design needs a dedicated off-grid power source with remote battery information, status indication and enough capacity to support more demanding camera installations.
Buyer Decision Tips
Buyer Tip: Solar runtime cannot be determined from battery capacity alone. Calculate the connected camera and accessory load, expected daily operating hours, local peak-sun hours, seasonal weather, panel orientation and shading before confirming that the 180 W panel and battery reserve are adequate for the site.
Buyer Tip: The supplied datasheet is internally inconsistent on ingress protection: the feature summary states IP67 while the detailed specification table states IP66. If the required IP classification is critical to the project, confirm the current approved rating before installation.

Choosing the Right Model
- Choose this model if: Your surveillance system requires a 180 W solar panel, a high-capacity LiFePO4 battery and dual 12 V-class/24 V DC outputs for off-grid operation.
- Check the power budget if: The connected camera, 4G router, illuminator or other accessories approach the 120 W or 60 W output limits.
- Check local solar conditions if: The installation is shaded, located in a low-sun region or must operate through extended periods of poor weather.
- Choose a corrosion-rated solution if: The site has significant coastal, chemical or corrosive exposure, because Hikvision classifies this model as having no specific anti-corrosion protection.
FAQs
- What battery capacity does the Hikvision DS-2XS6K01-C120S180 provide?
The specification table for the Hikvision DS-2XS6K01-C120S180 lists a 1280 Wh lithium iron phosphate battery operating at 12.8 VDC. Hikvision also states a battery life of more than 2,000 cycles at 25°C ±2°C. The front-page feature summary refers to 1200 Wh, so the datasheet contains an internal capacity discrepancy; the detailed specification table lists 1280 Wh. - What solar panel is included with the DS-2XS6K01-C120S180?
The kit uses a 180 W single-crystal silicon solar panel. Hikvision states a conversion efficiency of 22%, making it suitable for off-grid surveillance applications where solar charging is required. Actual runtime and recharge performance still depend on local sunlight, camera load, seasonal conditions, panel orientation and site shading. - What power outputs does the DS-2XS6K01-C120S180 provide?
The solar power kit provides an 11.6 to 14.6 VDC output rated up to 120 W and a 24 VDC output rated up to 60 W. These outputs allow compatible surveillance equipment to be powered from the battery system, but total connected load should remain within the stated output limits. - What battery protection and management functions are supported?
The DS-2XS6K01-C120S180 supports battery management, battery status display, high- and low-temperature protection, charge-discharge protection, low-battery sleep protection and remote wake-up. It also supports RS-485 battery information retrieval and low-power protection designed to reduce frequent power cycling when available battery power is unstable. - Can the DS-2XS6K01-C120S180 be used outdoors?
The datasheet contains conflicting protection information: the feature summary states IP67, while the detailed specification table lists IP66. Because of this inconsistency, the exact required ingress-protection rating should be confirmed before installation. The datasheet also states that the model has no specific anti-corrosion protection classification. For Security Wholesalers projects, the mounting position and environmental exposure should therefore be checked carefully. - What are the assembled dimensions and weight of the DS-2XS6K01-C120S180?
The fully assembled kit measures approximately 1290 mm × 735.4 mm × 496.8 mm. The datasheet lists approximate weights of 23.2 kg and 12.4 kg for the separate shipped components, with corresponding packaged weights of about 27.6 kg and 15 kg. Installation planning should therefore account for the complete structure and mounting load.
