When solar is the right choice
Solar suits a gate on a long driveway, a fuel tank, or a lane that will never have power. We still plan the mount, how the camera is secured, and where the footage is stored.
When a cable is the better job
If we can run a cable, that is usually more reliable than a battery. Winter sun on a south-facing Gippsland gate is weak, so a solar camera there needs a proper check, not a promise that it will just work.
Where the cable stops
For a gate the cable can't reach, our rural pole camera is the answer. The pole camera page has the full details and prices.
A Starlink dish is never mounted on a ground pole or a yard pole. The pole carries cameras and radios only.
