Sir Traveller Posted May 23, 2018 Report Share Posted May 23, 2018 Hello everyone I want to keep My security IP camera and a mobile internet hotspot running while the RV is in storage ( not hooked up ), a friend recommended getting a 35 amp battery and solar panel to keep the camera running ( and the solar panel will recharge that battery ) the issue is I am very new to this and not sure how will that work ( if it will work in the way I described it ), will I need any other devices? Cables? any tips will be helpful Thank you very much Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darryl&Rita Posted May 23, 2018 Report Share Posted May 23, 2018 Need more info. What's the total expected loads? Will the loads run directly, or is an inverter needed? Why are you adjusting the font size for your posts? I have been wrong before, I'll probably be wrong again. 2000 Kenworth T 2000 w/N-14 and 10 speed Gen1 Autoshift, deck built by Star Fabrication 2006 smart fourtwo cdi cabriolet 2007 32.5' Fleetwood QuantumPlease e-mail us here.

dartmouth01 Posted May 23, 2018 Report Share Posted May 23, 2018 What is the model or power usage of the camera? You may just be able to use a cellphone battery bank and portable solar panel if the IP cam takes a 5v USB input. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kirk W Posted May 24, 2018 Report Share Posted May 24, 2018 Or if the system is a home version it would need to have a 120v-ac power supply which would require an inverter.

folivier Posted May 24, 2018 Report Share Posted May 24, 2018 Check the unit itself, most actually work off 12vdc and have an adapter that plugs into your home receptacle. Either find a 12 volt plug to fit it or cut the wire off the adapter and wire it up to 12vdc. Just remember to follow correct polarity!
