Pro 12V 690W 5.12 kWh Solar Kit for CCTV Cameras

Pro 12V 690W 5.12 kWh Solar Kit for CCTV Cameras

Solar-powered CCTV kit for large installations without access to the mains electricity supply: Several IP cameras, an NVR recorder and a 4G router operating 24 hours a day at building sites, industrial units, farms, solar power stations, car breakers or housing developments without a mains supply.

Features

• Recommended continuous intake: up to 50 W (around 1.2 kWh a day)
• 2 LiFePO4 lithium batteries with 5,12 kWh in total: about 4 days’ battery life without sunshine
• Winter production: around 1.4 kWh/day in the south-east of the Iberian Peninsula
• Smart BatteryProtect to protect batteries from deep discharge
• 12 V DC output for cameras, NVRs, PoE switches and routers
• Bluetooth monitoring with VictronConnect, expandable to a VRM portal using a GX device

Example: 6 IP cameras (4.5 W each) + NVR recorder (12 W) + 4G router (5 W) + PoE switch (6 W) = 50 W × 24 hours = 1.2 kWh/day.

Frequently asked questions

Does it work with any brand of camera?

Yes. The kit supplies 12 V DC, the voltage at which most IP and analogue cameras, 4G routers and many recorders operate. If your cameras are PoE-enabled, add a PoE switch with a 12 V input or a step-up PoE injector. Avoid powering the cameras via a 230 V inverter and its transformers: this results in a loss of between 15 and 25 % of power and reduces battery life.

How many cameras can I connect?

Up to around 50 W of continuous power consumption: for example, 6 to 8 IP cameras, an NVR with a hard drive, a PoE switch and a 4G router. If you are using motorised PTZ cameras or spotlights, please calculate their power consumption separately or contact us.

Does it work in winter and on cloudy days?

Yes. The kit is designed to cope with December’s sunlight levels in the south-east of the peninsula, and the battery provides around four days’ runtime without sunlight. In the northern half of Spain or in areas with a lot of fog, choose the larger kit or add an extra panel.

How can I view the cameras on my mobile if there’s no internet connection?

With a 4G router with a data SIM card connected to the kit. The router is not included: you can use your own or order one from us along with the kit. It consumes between 3 and 6 W, which is already factored into the recommended power consumption.

What happens if the battery runs flat?

The Smart BatteryProtect cuts off the power supply before the batteries become over-discharged and reconnects it when the panels recharge them. Each SuperPack battery also has its own BMS.

Can I expand it at a later date?

Yes. The MPPT 100/50 can handle up to around 700 W of panels at 12 V; if you need more, you can add a second controller. The SuperPack batteries support connecting more units in parallel.

Do you need any permits or a certificate?

It requires no connection to the mains or paperwork with the electricity supplier: it is a stand-alone, very low-voltage (12 V) system. It is mounted on a post, wall or roof using a mounting frame for the panel and a waterproof box for the battery and the controller.

Does it include installation?

The kit is sold as a kit. If you are in the Region of Murcia or the surrounding area, our installation partner, ICIDE, can install it for you. For the rest of Spain, we’ll assist you by telephone or email before and after your purchase.
