Solar Caddy-100S-BR

The off-grid power kit for remote cameras

4G cellular cameras solve the connectivity problem at remote sites. Solar power solves the other half of the equation: how to keep the camera running without mains electricity. The Solar Caddy 100S-BR is the smaller-capacity solar power kit designed specifically for CCTV applications. Solar panel, battery, charge controller, weather-sealed enclosure, and mounting bracket, all integrated into a single unit ready to mount alongside the camera.

This is the kit we install at single-camera remote monitoring positions: farm gates, smallholding outbuildings without power, agricultural pump houses, building site cameras before mains is connected, holiday cabins watching the gate from the bush. Sized for a single 4G or low-power IP camera with reasonable redundancy through cloudy days and shorter winter daylight.

What this kit actually does

• Integrated solar panel. Sized for typical Highveld and Lowveld sun exposure, with enough headroom for cloudy days.
• Sealed lithium battery. Stores enough capacity to keep a single 4G or low-power IP camera running through a typical day-night cycle plus reasonable reserve.
• Charge controller. Manages the battery to maximise lifespan and prevent over-charge or deep-discharge damage.
• Weather-sealed enclosure. IP-rated housing for permanent outdoor mounting.
• Camera mounting bracket integrated. Power output and camera mount in one unit, simplifying the installation.

Where this kit belongs

• Single 4G cellular camera installations at remote farm gates, agricultural buildings, and monitoring posts
• Building sites needing temporary CCTV before mains is connected
• Holiday cabin gate monitoring in bushveld and rural locations
• Single-camera remote outbuilding coverage where running mains cable is impractical
• Agricultural infrastructure like irrigation pump houses, tank monitoring, and equipment shed cameras

If you need more capacity

• The Solar Caddy 200S-BR is the larger-capacity version of this same concept. Bigger battery, larger solar panel, designed for cameras with higher power demands or sites with longer winter daylight gaps. The right call when 100S-BR is not enough headroom.

The natural pairing: 4G cellular cameras

• The DS-2CFS04/4G 2.8mm is the Hikvision 4G cellular camera that pairs naturally with this solar kit. Solar power, cellular connectivity, no mains and no fixed-line internet required.

Solar power sizing matters more than people expect

The 100S-BR works well for single low-power cameras in good sun. It does not work well for multiple cameras, high-power cameras, or sites with limited sun exposure due to trees, buildings, or terrain. Wrong sizing leads to system failures during winter months or extended cloudy periods. We do site assessment, sun-exposure analysis, and capacity sizing as part of every solar CCTV install. Contact us for site assessment and quotes for remote and rural installations beyond our standard Pretoria East, Centurion, Midrand, and Johannesburg service area.
