Step 1 – Setting Up Wireless Surveillance Networks in Remote Areas     The purpose of this article is to provide Security Surveillance Systems Integrators with information on creating Wireless Surveillance Systems, and installing them in a variety of scenarios and environments.   After reading this information you will not only understand how to create…

What is PoE (Power over Ethernet)?

What is PoE (Power over Ethernet)?   PoE (Power over Ethernet) is the name of a number of methods that allow for powering network devices through UTP/FTP cables. This allows devices like Security Cameras, Phones, Network Switches, or Antennas to send and receive data and power with just one cable.   The two standard types…

PWM Solar Charge Controllers

Pulse-Width Modulation (PWM)   At Vorp Energy we no longer offer PWM chargers with our kits. Our Remote Solar Power Kit and Solar Powered Surveillance Skid use a more advanced 3-Stage Max Power Point Tracking (MPPT) charging system. The Outdoor UPS Battery Backup System also uses an advanced 3-Stage charging system.   Learn more about…

Max Power Point Tracking – MPPT Solar Charge Controller

Why MPPT Solar Charge Controllers Can Be Critical to Your System If your Solar Charge Controller is the brains of your Solar system, an MPPT Solar Charge Controller would be the genius.  As we’ve discussed, a 12 Volt Solar Panel will have a Max Power Voltage of around 18 Volts, and an Open Circuit Voltage…

Solar Panels in Series vs Parallel

  If you are using a 24V Battery or have created a 24V Battery Array by connecting two 12V Batteries in Series you will want a Solar Array that is also 24V.  You can accomplish by using one 24V Solar Panel, or by wiring two 12V Solar Panels in Series.   Contact Us   Series…
