Security equipment is often needed exactly where power is not: a farm gate, a remote shed, a machinery yard or a construction site. Our solar security power systems run cameras, electric gates, alarms and 4G routers from a solar panel and battery, so there is no trenching, no extension leads and no generator to refuel.

Systems start from $1,990 per camera or gate site, installed. This is an indicative starting price; the final price depends on the total power draw of your equipment, how many days it must run without sun, mounting, enclosure requirements and site access.

What's included

  • A power budget for your cameras, gate motor, alarm panel, router or other devices
  • A solar panel sized for winter sun at your site, on a pole, wall or frame mount
  • An LFP battery and charge controller in a weatherproof, ventilated enclosure
  • Low-voltage protection and fusing to protect the equipment and battery
  • Installation, with electrical work carried out by our licensed electricians
  • Commissioning, testing and a handover of the system

Why Blue Energy Solar

Security systems are only useful if they keep working at 3 am in July. We size the panel and battery from your equipment's actual draw, allow for cloudy days and battery ageing, and flag power-hungry features, such as night-time infrared, heaters or constant video streaming, that increase the size and cost of the system. We would rather tell you now that a camera setting needs changing than have the system go dark in winter. Our team covers Sydney and around 200 km beyond.

Recommended for

Farms, construction sites, depots and rural properties that need cameras, gates or alarms running where mains power is unavailable.

Power draw is the biggest factor in cost. A camera that records on motion and uploads short clips needs far less energy than one streaming continuous video over 4G, and gate motors vary widely with gate weight and how often the gate opens.

  • Tell us the voltage of your cameras, gate motor and router; we design around them.
  • Panels need clear winter sun, and trees and sheds cast long shadows in June and July.
  • Camera, alarm and router set-up, monitoring subscriptions and data plans are not part of this service.
  • Theft-resistant mounting and lockable enclosures are recommended on exposed sites.
Directions

1. Request a quote with a list of the devices, their voltages and where they are located.
2. We calculate the power budget and review sun access and mounting options.
3. We send a written design and quote with the panel, battery and expected autonomy.
4. Once accepted, we install the panel, battery enclosure and wiring to your equipment.
5. We test operation and hand over the system with maintenance guidance.

Warnings

The price shown is an indicative starting price; the final fixed price is confirmed in writing after a site assessment and quote.
Accurate equipment power details are needed; added devices may require a larger system.
Cameras, gate motors, alarms, routers and data plans are not included unless listed in the quote.
Mounting on structures you do not own needs the owner's permission, and leased or strata sites need landlord or owners corporation approval.
Electrical work is carried out by our licensed electricians.

Frequently Asked Questions

Often yes. Many gate motors can run from a battery supply, and some already have battery backup built in. We check the motor voltage, gate weight, number of openings a day and accessories such as intercoms and lights. Heavy gates with frequent use need more capacity, and some mains-only motors may need replacing with a low-voltage motor.

That depends on the design. We size the battery for a set number of days of autonomy based on your equipment and how critical the site is, and a few days is common for security sites. Reducing camera draw, for example by recording on motion rather than continuously, extends run time without adding battery capacity.

Yes, and they are commonly powered together. Routers run continuously, so their draw adds up over 24 hours and must be included in the power budget. We design the system around the combined load, with the correct voltage for each device, and can add a remote low-battery alert so you know if power is running low.

No system is theft-proof, but good design helps. We use lockable enclosures, secure fixings and mounting heights that make tampering difficult, and position panels so they are hard to reach while still getting good sun. Placing a camera where it can see its own power system is also a simple and effective deterrent.
