Solar-Powered Security Cameras for Remote Sites in Mozambique

Solar-powered security cameras give you surveillance where mains power and cabling are hard to reach: farms, construction sites, solar plants, warehouses and other remote facilities across Mozambique. A panel, a battery and a 4G or wireless-bridge camera work together so the site is watched day and night without a trench or a generator.

How solar security cameras work

A solar security kit combines a solar panel, a rechargeable battery and a 4G or wireless-bridge camera. The panel charges the battery by day so the camera runs continuously, and footage is sent over a mobile network or a long-range wireless link back to your control room.

Where solar cameras make sense

• Construction sites with no permanent power yet.
• Farms and agricultural land spread over large areas.
• Solar farms and substations in remote locations.
• Logistics yards and warehouses far from the main building.
• Temporary sites that need monitoring for a few months.

Key benefits

• No trenching or mains wiring: fast to deploy and relocate.
• Off-grid resilience: keeps working during load-shedding and outages.
• AI alerts: combine with AcuSense to detect intruders and reduce false alarms.

Design it for your location

Sunlight, battery capacity and connectivity all affect performance. Mozambique has strong sun most of the year, but the rainy season from November to March brings days of cloud, so the battery must be sized to bridge them. A.S.S. LDA designs solar and off-grid surveillance tailored to your site.

Frequently asked questions

How many days can a solar camera run without sun?

It depends on the battery size and how much the camera records. A properly sized kit is designed to run through two to three cloudy days; we size the panel and battery for your location and recording schedule.

Does a solar camera need mobile coverage?

A 4G camera needs a signal from Vodacom, Movitel or Tmcel at the site. Where there is no coverage, a point-to-point wireless bridge sends the video to a building that has internet, up to several kilometres away with line of sight.

Can the camera still record if the connection drops?

Yes. Cameras with an SD card keep recording locally and upload the footage when the link returns, so a short outage does not create a gap.
