Default Choose a solar captor for an IP camera ?

HI,

I plan also to install an IP camera in a field to oversee horses. But
in this field there is no electricity nor Internet access. So I plan to
install a solar captor, a battery, and wifi system (with yagi antenna,
....) Have you already installed such a configuration ? What kind oof
solar captor have you installer, what kind of battery, ... where to
purchase ? ...

Thanks

I haven't built one yet but planning a similar project, ie remote wireless
camera.

There's seems to be various products around-

http://www.maplin.co.uk/Module.aspx?...&ModuleNo=2312

and my plan was to use one of these and a sealed lead-acid battery (in
suitable container !).

Without forgeting the regulator between the solar panel and the battery.

I'm interested in discussing directly with you in private (emai). ok for
you ?

Quite happy to dicsuss on here, not much activity usually.

Not quite sure if these panels have any kind of regulation or not, they
appear to present with connections to go straight on the battery.
The other issue I haven't quite worked out yet is whether you will to have a
system to shut down the camera if the battery gets low and thus give it time
to re-charge.

Today I called the company Silva (http://www.silva.se/) and they told me
to look at the solar products from ICP Global (http://www.icpsolar.com/)
because the panel from silva is not enough powerful for what I plan to
do according to the french Silva subsidiary.

I was thinking of one of these which says 65 / 105 mA @ 8v
