Solar Panels & Power
Solar panels, rechargeable batteries and chargers to keep your cameras running in the field for months at a time.
Solar or batteries?
Batteries suit cameras that store images to an SD card and are checked every few months. Solar suits cameras that are hard to reach, run on a time-lapse schedule, or send images over 4G, which uses more power.
The Swift SP200 Solar Panel has a built-in 5000 mAh lithium battery that stores power so the camera keeps working when the sun isn't shining. In full sun it can power up to 2,000 images a day on non-4G Swift cameras, or up to 200 images a day on 4G models.
Rechargeable batteries and chargers
Rechargeable AA batteries cut running costs on cameras you service regularly. Match a charger to the number of cells your cameras take; see Batteries.
