  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.
