Instead, download our all new Optiview VMX, our powerful new remote viewing software; The user is able to choose between a free VMX, and a more advanced VMX+ with additional features. The new VMX and VMX+ provide a more stable management and viewing platform for CCTV and Access Control, as well as providing many new features. Not sure which solution is right for you?

WHAT IS THE MAXIMUM NUMBER OF DEVICES THAT CAN BE PUT ON THE FREE VMX OR THE PAID VMX+?

HOW DO I UPGRADE FROM THE VMS TO THE VMX?

The VMX software is completely different from the Optiview VMS and a user can use both. The VMX Server and Client software can be downloaded here.

WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THE VMX SERVER AND THE VMX CLIENT?

The server runs all the services and acts as a connection point for several clients that will handle the management of configurations, devices and integrations of one or more IP devices supported by the Optiview VMX software.

IF I HAVE THE SERVER DOWNLOADED, HOW DO I DOWNLOAD THE CLIENT?

The client can be downloaded using the link from the server user interface labeled as “Download Client”. I also made a link for the Client software within our technical support page which Georgia can use, to make a download link within the product resource page.

CAN I DESIGNATE THE NUMBER OF CAMERA CHANNELS BEING SEEN BY THE VMX PER DVR OR NVR?

Yes. The number of cameras “actually” in use by a device (for example a 32-ch NVR) can be designated within the VMX so that it can only sees the actual number of channels. For example, If a user is using multiple 32 channel recorders but not all channels, the VMX can be set to not count every single channel and maximize the usage.

CAN I DESIGNATE THE NUMBER OF ACCESS CONTROL DOORS BEING SEEN BY THE VMX?

No. Whatever the maximum number of doors that an access control panel can handle is, that is what the VMX will see. For example, a CAS-4MC (4 door master control panel) is expandable up to 64 doors, so this will max out the VMX. No additional master control panels can be added unless the user upgrades to the paid version of the Optiview VMX.

CAN I SEE THE HUMAN TEMPERATURE DETECTION & NOTIFICATION SOLUTION ON THE VMX?

The human temperature text overlay can be seen at LIVE mode and Playback mode at the VMX.

HOW MANY USERS CAN ACCESS THE VMX AT ONE TIME?

For the FREE version, only 1 user can access the VMX at any given time, regardless of how many clients are downloaded. With the paid version, up to 100 active users are able to access the VMX Server at any given time via multiple clients. See which software is right for you here!

Using itself as a home automation system, Alexa can also control your home security camera and even we can set up DMSS application on Alexa. Users are able to increase the Alexa capabilities by installing “skills” (additional functionality developed by third-party vendors, in other settings more commonly called apps) like weather programs and audio features.

Most devices with Alexa let users activate the device using a wake-word (like Alexa or Amazon); other devices (like the Amazon mobile app on iOS or Android and Amazon Dash Wand) require the user to click a button to activate Alexa’s listening mode, although, some phones also let a user say a command, such as “Alexa” or “Alexa wake”.

In September 2019, Amazon launched many new devices achieving many records while competing with the world’s smart home industry.

Why Do We Need Solar Security Cameras?

How Do Solar Security Cameras Work?

Features to Consider When Purchasing a Solar Security Camera

Installation Tips for Solar Security Cameras

Top Recommended Solar Security Cameras

Frequently Asked Questions

Why Do We Need Solar Security Cameras?

An increasing number of people are using smart cameras at home to protect their property or to look after the elderly and children. In fact, security cameras can effectively reduce the probability of burglaries and other crimes. Unlike indoor cameras with convenient installation environments, outdoor cameras often cannot find a suitable power supply or installation location. To meet this need, various outdoor cameras have emerged, especially in recent years, with battery-powered, wire-free cameras becoming increasingly popular. They can be easily installed at any location you desire.

However, battery-powered security cameras have their own limitations. Even with high-capacity battery options available, you still need to recharge them every 1-6 months. Outdoor cameras are usually installed on high walls, poles, or trees, and you often need a ladder to take down the camera for charging, which is undoubtedly a hassle. Solar security cameras can solve this problem by providing a continuous and clean energy source for the cameras, reducing maintenance efforts, being more environmentally friendly, and reducing electricity costs.

How Do Solar Security Cameras Work?

Solar security cameras convert solar energy into electrical energy through solar panels. This energy is stored in the camera’s batteries, keeping them continuously charged. The stored energy ensures the camera’s uninterrupted operation even during periods of limited sunlight, such as winter or rainy days.

Features to Consider When Purchasing a Solar Security Camera

Regarding Solar Panels:

(1) Flexibility:

The market offers various forms of solar panels. Integrated solar panels have a sleeker design but may limit the panel’s exposure to sunlight. Detached solar panels, connected by cables extending several meters, provide the flexibility to position the panels in a sun-rich location and adjust the angle for direct sunlight exposure.

(2) Material Quality:

Different solar panel materials have different photoelectric conversion efficiencies. Currently, common materials on the market include monocrystalline silicon, polycrystalline silicon, and amorphous silicon solar cells, with the more expensive monocrystalline silicon having the highest efficiency, up to 25%.

(3) Maximum Output Power:

The power output of a solar panel is critical for ensuring adequate energy supply. It is calculated under Standard Test Conditions (STC): a temperature of 25°C, solar irradiance of 1000W/m², and an Air Mass of 1.5. The maximum power output formula is the Panel’s Area (cm length × cm width) × 0.1 × Efficiency.

In practice, factors such as the duration of sunlight exposure, panel angle, environmental temperature, and air quality can affect the panel’s power generation.

Regarding Cameras:

When focusing on the camera itself, the features we need to concentrate on are no different from ordinary security cameras, such as resolution, night vision capability, AI detection abilities, and the camera’s field of view.

(1) Resolution:

The higher the camera’s resolution, the clearer the details you can see. However, it should be noted that an increase in resolution will also lead to more power consumption.

(2) Night Vision Capability:

Nighttime is the peak period for various incidents. Night vision capability is definitely an important value point to measure the usability of a security camera, whether it has color night vision ability, whether the picture has fewer noise points, and whether moving people and animals can be accurately and clearly captured at night. To learn how to choose a security camera with better night vision, you can read our other article: Best Night Vision Home Security Cameras – Things You Need to Know.

(3) AI Detection Capability:

With the development of AI technology, image recognition algorithms have become more refined. Many security cameras now have the ability to recognize people or other objects, such as humans, animals, and vehicles. They can detect different objects and bring you timely reminders, increasing security performance while reducing false alarms and missed reports.

Installation Tips for Solar Security Cameras

To maximize the efficiency of your solar security camera system, consider the following installation tips:

Optimal Panel Positioning:

Install the solar panel in a location that receives maximum sunlight throughout the year. Position it facing south in the Northern Hemisphere or north in the Southern Hemisphere. Adjust the tilt angle between the panel and the ground to optimize sunlight absorption.

Avoid Obstructions:

Ensure that the solar panel is free from any obstructions like trees or buildings that may cast shadows and reduce its efficiency. Also, keep it away from open flames or flammable materials.

Temperature Considerations:

Temperature affects solar panel efficiency. Ensure sufficient space between the roof and the panel to allow airflow and prevent overheating.

Regular Cleaning:

While solar panels require minimal maintenance, occasional cleaning is essential to remove dirt and debris that may reduce their effectiveness. In some cases, rainwater may naturally clean the panels, but periodic cleaning may still be necessary.

Frequently Asked Questions

To address common queries, here are answers to some frequently asked questions about solar security cameras:

Can solar security cameras work during winter?

Solar security cameras can function in winter. Although the daylight hours are shorter and the generated electrical energy is reduced, the energy stored in the battery is sufficient to maintain the camera’s normal operation.

Can solar security cameras work at night?

Solar security cameras are designed to operate at night. The energy stored in the battery during daylight hours powers the camera, enabling it to function seamlessly during nighttime.

Do solar panels work in the rain?

Solar panels continue to generate electricity during rain or cloudy conditions, although the amount of electricity produced may be lower.  Solar panels are designed to be waterproof, so there is no need to worry about water damage. Additionally, heavy rain can help clean the panels by washing away accumulated dust and pollen.

Do I need a solar panel for each camera?

The number of cameras that can be connected to a single solar panel depends on the power requirements, panel capacity, and charging system efficiency. Tapo solar panels have a single USB connector to charge one camera at a time.

How long does a solar panel take to charge a security camera?

Under optimal weather conditions with sufficient sunlight, and assuming the working temperature and humidity standard is met, usually about 30 minutes to an hour of direct sunlight per day can keep a Tapo Battery Camera running continuously (up to 100 events triggered per day).

How long do solar security cameras last?

The need to charge batteries is rare if you live in an area suitable for solar power generation and keep the solar panels clean and at the right angle.

Solar security camera batteries can last about one to six months on a full charge, even during weeks of cloudy skies. If the battery level is nearing 25% and there’s little sunshine predicted, consider bringing the camera or battery inside to charge.

Adjusting settings like motion detection, video resolution, frame rate, recording length, and turning off unnecessary lights can help prolong battery life.

At what temperature do cameras stop working?

The Tapo Solar Panel is rated for temperatures between -20℃ and 45℃. The optimal temperature range for battery charging is 0℃ to 45℃. Nevertheless, frost and ice can form on the lens when temperatures fall below freezing, obstructing the camera’s view. Snowfall can also impede the camera’s ability to record footage.

Can solar panels work without a battery?

Solar panels are devices that convert light into electrical energy but cannot store it. They generate higher voltage in strong light and lower voltage in weak light, resulting in unstable output that cannot reliably power devices. Voltage converters are used to stabilize the solar panel’s output to charge a battery. Devices then draw a stable supply of power from the battery.

Solar security cameras provide a perfect balance of security, efficiency, and sustainability. With careful selection and proper installation, these devices can offer a reliable security solution for those looking to protect their property with the added benefit of reducing their carbon footprint.

.

Intelligent Operation – Smooth UI experience

Intuitive live view

• Check the real-time channel status clearly

• With customized views, live views can be more intuitive on one view layout and enable automatic switching to meet the needs of multi-screen timed switching

The conventional video searching methods usually are time-consuming. Right now, the Smart Search and the AcuSearch functions could help accelerate searching efficiency in minutes, even in seconds.

Smart Video Searching

The NVR 5.0 with converged functions provides support for video, audio, alarm, access control, and other application access. Creating intelligent applications for different scenarios and needs.

The tool allows adding and monitoring a large number of cameras simultaneously. The cameras in your network can be automatically found and installed. The program supports IP and P2P connection modes as well as UMSP, HZXM, and HZZN protocols. It could also be necessary to provide the camera’s password to access it. After this step, the devices can be organized by grouping them into different folders. For monitoring purposes, it is possible to divide the workspace into up to 64 regions. Moreover, on the left, there is a panel, from which you can control the selected camera.

In addition to allowing the users to view live video streams, the program also lets you schedule recording sessions and play them later. Likewise, it can take snapshots of specific video frames. Moreover, you can implement alarms to send notifications to a given SMS number.

All in all, QmEye is an excellent solution in terms of the number of cameras and connection protocols allowed. Unfortunately, the tool is not as easy to use as other similar tools and its graphical user interface probably needs a redesign.

This manual has mainly instructions on the installation and usage in Android, iPhone mobile phone.
