Hi,
I need to install 10 - 12 Security camera's on a gun range in Callifornia where there is ample of sunshine and below freezing is an exception.
We need to generate our own power and the internet comes via satellite.
When I add up the needed power for all cameras, dvr, network equipment, and this modem using worse case scenario power consumption round up it comes to 250 watt.
Power needed from dusk to dawn:
19 hours of no sunlight x 250watt = 4750watts
What kind of battery capacity do you recommend?
We will have to build a closet out of concrete blocks and a steel door to store it all.
If there is a ready made vandalism proof cabinet available for all this I am open to suggestions.
If there is a stretch of heavy overcast weather we can remotely reduce the amount of power consumption by putting parts of the system to sleep. Additionally we can supplement the solar power with a portable generator to charge the batteries back to full capacity if we cant recuperate enough during the day during these rare days' of insufficient sunlight in Southern Callifornia.
