I have a rural property and need camera support. They will be mounted on poles in the air. I'm certainly not trying to hide them, rather exploiting them as deterrents. I have professional cameras with lots of connection options so trying to figure this stuff out. Cams have POE network connection, composite vid, audio input jack, I/O ability, power as either the POE, 12VDC, or 24VAC. Consumption is 22W if heaters will have to run, 12.5W if heaters are left off. Honestly pretty power hungry IMO.
What I am looking to do is set/bury a 'con box' and run up the pole with my wiring. I will need to power the cam, set a small solar panel for charging, select a battery tech either Li or Pb, figure out a charge controller solution, and somehow pipe the signal from the camera back to home base via a point 2 point wireless solution. Ubiquiti comes recommended. To be honest, what I am trying to do is integrate and simplify this! The components are adding up and I would think someone has already crossed this bridge!
Getting physical wire to these sites is not practical and I have experience with solar so not too worried about that. Trying to beam the signal without spending a grand on each site is my issue.
