| Ultra Low Power, Cellular Outdoor Covert Pole Camera Systems | |
The less power a device uses, the longer it runs on a battery. No one uses less power than Boundless, only about 3 to 4 watts for EVERYTHING. In fact, everyone else uses MUCH more.
Boundless' unique, ultra low power, cellular outdoor covert true-PTZ pole camera systems run weeks 24/7, not just a few days, on an external 12V 120AH lithium battery. Power-saving modes and a small, optional solar panel provide even longer, giving you the mission length you need. |

| We're often asked how our covert pole camera systems can use so little power and run SO long. Our system architect has a BSEE and MSEE from MIT, we've gone to a LOT of work to design them FROM SCRATCH -- no power-hungry off-the-shelf IP PTZ camera will do, and we have years of field experience. Our technology has been awarded four U.S. Patents. |
Boundless' The Ghost: Ultra Low Power, 5MP Outdoor Covert Cellular Pole Camera System. 1080 HD and lower resolution time-lapse video. Motorized forward-pivot pan, tilt, and zoom with a small (1" dia.) window. Internal video recording 24/7, optionally up to 6 months. Place it on a vertical support such as a utility pole, tree, or a small pipe in a sand bucket, along with an external power source. Provides comprehensive remote power monitoring for estimated run-time remaining on an external battery if used. Front cover numbers vary. |
NEW PREFERRED FOR SPECIAL OPERATIONS: Boundless' The Rabbit: Ultra Low Power, 5MP Cylindrical Outdoor Covert Cellular Pole Camera System. Put it in something on the ground, no utility pole required. 1080 HD and lower resolution time-lapse video. Motorized forward-pivot pan, tilt, and zoom with a small (1.25" dia.) window. Internal video recording 24/7. Use it exposed to weather with an external power source, or place it and a battery in a DIY curved or rectangular plastic shell for disguise and support. Use it in any 90-degree orientation and still get proper 1080 HD video and pan-tilt movement. |

DIY: Rechargeable 12V LiFePO4 lithium iron phosphate battery of a physical size that fits in the chosen enclosure and has standard, 15A Anderson Powerpole connectors. Every 12V 40AH = 480WH (watt-hours) of battery capacity typically provides about one week's continuous run time of Boundless' ultra low power, outdoor covert pole camera system, on each charge. |
DIY: 24V 30W Solar Panel with solar-industry standard, MC4 connectors. Requires utility pole-mount bracket and Boundless' Utility Pole-Mount Solar-Ready Battery Box, which requires LiFePO4 batteries. In sunny months, in many parts of the USA, a small, properly oriented, 24V 30W panel that is connected to our battery box should provide 24 hours/day, 31 days/month operation. |
