Jan 31, 2019Solar power is the plan although I have power at the light poles I intend to use. I'm really looking for information on both topics since there might be a solar power option in the future.

Feb 01, 2019Do you have constant power at the poles or are they switched somewhere else?

Jan 31, 2019We do many hospitals with Avigilon and lots of wireless Avigilon cameras for parking lots. I would be more than happy to chat with you.

Feb 01, 2019My company specializes in building turnkey control housings for this application. These provide power transformation and control for cameras and wireless equipment. We can also support solar and switched power options as well as pre-programmed point to point wireless links. Let me know know if you'd like more info.
Thanks

Feb 01, 2019Yes I would like more information provided, maybe we can look at a control box estimate for both solar and light pole power for 2 *megapixel Avigilon Cameras...

Feb 01, 2019The hard part is power. You can do solar, which takes a lot of components, or get power from the pole, are they at 110/constant power, timer controlled, photocell controlled, but once you have power then you just set up PtP/PtMP wireless bridges.
Talk to the electrician on site and determine if you can get power from the poles before anything. Once you have power the rest is easy.
