Power Related Challenges for Smart Cameras
- Many cameras are unable to go into sleep mode or cannot because of business requirements
- Higher data rates can further increase power consumption
- Data collection and transmission must run continuously in an extremely wide range of solar and environmental operating conditions
Advantages to Adding Solar
- Avoid bureaucracy and cost of connecting to the grid
- Reduce cost of battery replacement
- Enable placement of cameras in optimal locations
- Create a system that runs for 5+ years without maintenance
