  Well Hi all. I;m new to this community thing so bear with me. yes solar would and is a awesome idea. I have mortified my camera's so that they are with solar. It works awesome too, each unit has a 2 inch by 3 inch solar panel I've built. i have rechargeable batterers placed in units that have the protection not to over charge. Plus with the battery's showing for each camera on the app i can also watch them. The solar panel are for one, movable (each has about 3 feet of wire) so everything is  away from camera's. I'll take some pictures of it to show you all.

    Also I am a retired Tech. and also have a engineering degree, and play with inventing things. Do any of you remember ( HEATH KITS) ? They where electrical projects for the 1950's to about 1970's where you built thing like TV,radio's, and just everything. loved them and learned a lot from them.

Yes I remember them I have put together tube testers,audio generators, rf generators and when you watched tv you get a free xray from the high voltage regulator tub sure they had metal shielding the side but none on top of the tube in low levels.

Oh yes the good old dayz when building a tv you got a free sun tan, plus it made you not able to father kids for some yrs. lol those were the dayz for sure 🙂
