Solar CCTV Cameras
Solar powered CCTV cameras provide reliable, wire-free outdoor security using integrated solar panels and rechargeable battery backup. Designed for UK conditions, they deliver continuous monitoring without mains power or professional installation.
This range includes compact home cameras, PTZ models with up to 20x optical zoom, and 4G-enabled units for locations without Wi-Fi.

How Solar CCTV Works
Each camera has an integrated solar panel that charges a built-in lithium battery during daylight hours. The battery stores enough power to keep the camera running overnight and through cloudy periods. Most models in this range hold 2–4 days of charge without any sunlight, so even during a grey British winter, continuous recording is maintained.
Key Features to Consider
Resolution & Zoom
- 4MP to 6MP sensors for clear identification
- PTZ models offer 10x to 20x optical zoom
- Dual-lens options for wide-angle plus close-up
Connectivity

Placement & Installation
Mount the camera where the solar panel receives the most direct sunlight — south or south-west facing is ideal in the UK. Most models include a wall bracket and screws, and installation takes around 15 minutes with no wiring. For 4G models, simply insert a nano SIM card before mounting. Position the camera 2–3 metres high for the best balance of coverage and detail.
Common Questions
Do solar CCTV cameras work in winter?
Yes. The batteries store enough charge to run through shorter days and overcast weather. Most models in this range hold 2–4 days of reserve power, and even limited winter sunlight is enough to keep them topped up.
Do I need Wi-Fi for a solar CCTV camera?
Not necessarily. Several models offer 4G connectivity using a standard SIM card, making them suitable for sheds, outbuildings, farms, and other locations without a Wi-Fi signal.
How far can the cameras see at night?
Colour night vision typically covers 10–15 metres. In IR mode, most models can detect motion at 20–30 metres, though image detail reduces at longer distances.
Where is footage stored?
Locally on a MicroSD card up to 128GB. Some models also support cloud storage via the manufacturer's app.
