I wanted a security camera at the front door of my house with two criteria: the camera needed to be wireless and it needed to be accessible for viewing from my computer. There are plenty of Webcams that transmit video over WiFi, but they all need AC power, so they aren't truly wireless. My front porch doesn't have a power outlet and there's no convenient way to tap into an available power source. Since I'm trying to be more energy conscious anyway, I decided to see if I could power a wireless camera using a solar panel with a battery for storing power to keep the security camera working overnight. It worked, taking the camera completely off the power grid and carbon neutral. Here are the steps showing you how you can add your own solar powered wireless security camera at your home or office. You can use any WiFi-enabled Webcam and expect to get similar results.
