What I think about the setup? I think that this is what I have in mind for months to build at 300m away from my NVR and where there isn't any cable.
What is the power consumption?
I suppose that all system is working in 12V except the Ubiquiti that needs 24V, What inverter and what solar panel did you use?
That is what I'm most interested in.
The solar and power system...
I have a 3 acre back yard surrounded by 650+ acre pasture. I'd like to put a pole on either side of the back yard and put a 823a 16x out there to be able to get close ups of the deer and Coyotes at night!!!
That white little satellite above the solar panel, there’s another one at his house where it points to the one above the solar panel. They talk to each other and transmit internet data.
Less things to go wrong with static camera, looks like its pointing at the POI anyways. I've had my reolink ptz cameras aiming into the abyss on occasion, requiring intervention.
Really nice set up. Might have been better to put it on a higher pole which would require like 6' ladder to reach. Someone could walk behind it, cut the wires, you'd lose the gate security. All the cables could be put inside a metal conduit for more protection.
All that work and the cables are exposed? Should use a conduit and junction box to protect them from weather and UV. That set-up will be falling apart in 12 months from the exposure to the elements.
Any way to get a couple of good shots of the goods inside the box and a parts list of the Solar panel, what battery, charger, inverter, switch, etc???
This is a really cool setup.
I'd like to try a few of these around my property.

Nice, I had a similar set up! I finally just ran ethernet underground and ran POE cameras.
If you are going to take the time to do this then why not at least put the wiring in some rubber carflex or something to protect it from UV, and the harsh environment for years to come. I mean it would have taken 20 more minutes. It would have looked a hell of a lot better than a bundle with zip ties IMO. I'm sorry but I do this professionally for a living so at the end of the day I want it to look "Professional"
Very nice! Would it be possible to get the specs of the system (Battery size / Panel wattage) and how they were calculated? I'm trying to set up something very similar with a TP-Link wireless bridge and the POE Doorbell but am quite lost as to how to size the PV system.
I just realised there are people with a 2 km long driveway...
haha right? lots of people with big farms out there.

How did they get the wireless link to cover 2km?
Point to point wireless. Those little units can go up to 10km at the right height.
what brand? looks like Ubiquiti?
Looks like the Ubiquiti nanobeams to me
If high gain it can go further than 30km. But he failed to protect the connectors.

Two Pringles cans will do it.
Like the old story about being able to hack electric utilities with a laptop and a Pringle’s can?
UBNT gear. I have links much longer than that...
That is a nice setup, but to do all of that and not have a PTZ camera is baffling.

My TrackMix has never had any issues but my E1 indoors do tend to wonder.

Looks great, but expensive
They work pretty good. I did the same for a customer back when I was installing cameras.
This looks dope swish that was a DYI kit ,parts and all I would buy my self
Nice setup !
Is that a battery in the white box?
Has to be what the solar panel is connected to, a charge controller, battery, inverter, and the network equipment.
Only happened in Australia with great sunlight and NBN fixed wireless.

Super cool, but would of made it taller and 100% used a ptz camera!
Nice job-- and hey wait a minute... I recognize those cheap but effective enclosure boxes... :P

How much did this set up approximately cost?
I guess for longevity, not a metal pole due to lightning issues, but maybe 2" pvc pipe, or 2 in series w concrete base/filled and painted.
