Why Use Solar Powered Security Systems

1. WhyUseSolarPanelled SecuritySystems

2. Introduction No matter what time of year it is, you can never guarantee that your site will be secure. However, if you invest in the right technologies you can help prevent any crime or suspicious behaviour from happening. There are many different types of security systems that can help you with protecting your site, CCTV cameras, alarms and motion sensors. Getting more popular by the day is the solar powered solution which are sustained by the power of the sun. There are many advantages to using a solar panelled security camera, let’s discuss some of them. 

3. Wireless & Flexible You might be put off the idea of security systems due to the amount of wiring it requires to set it up properly. Not only are cables impractical from the point of installation, but they are also vulnerable to sabotage, if a criminal sees you have a security system the first thing they are most likely to do is break or turn it off – which can easily be done if there are wires involved! Due to this, a lot of cameras now have wireless data transmissions. Solar panel security cameras are incorporated directly into the camera itself and the battery will be constantly charged throughout the day meaning you will not have to worry about the power supply being interrupted and effecting your security. As well as being wireless, these security systems are flexible. You might find that you want to move your security systems around. A wireless, solar-powered camera can be easily moved from one site to another, providing immediate and simple coverage, without any hassle. 

4. Low in Cost When finding the right security camera for your site, the cost obviously plays a massive part in which one you choose. The average security camera will use around five watts and will be active all the time, meaning over a long period of time you will find that the amount you are paying goes up and up. Whereas if you invested in a solar panel security system, it will be powered entirely by the sun rays, meaning you will not be paying anywhere near how much you would pay if you got a standard security camera. Switching to a solar-powered system will save you money in the long run.

5. Environmentally Friendly One of the main and probably most important advantages is that using a solar panelled security camera is extremely environmentally friendly. With a standard security system, you will find that so much plastic is required for the cabling, and then all the protective shielding for the system itself, which all amounts to a significant environmental burden. Another major environmental cost for standard security systems is the cost of draining energy from the grid. Paying for power doesn’t only drain your own money but it means that somewhere in the world, fossil fuels are most likely being consumed to keep your system running.  Solar-powered security systems avoid this completely, once your panels, cameras and alarms are in place, the system will be entirely self-contained and self-sustaining.  To conclude, the most important thing to remember is whatever security system you choose, you need to make sure it is fitted by professionals and has regular checks to make sure it is working to the best standard.
