I recently finished installing the second new surveillance system on the ranch which is now up and running.

| The new system mounted on a fence post. Immediately behind the solar panel you will see as one gallon plastic water container. This is being used as a weather shield for the system's charge controller. I first used this technique as an improvisation a few years ago when setting up the electric fence energizer system. It worked so well I've decided to use it again. Its only vulnerability appears to be exposure to direct sunlight, which is resolved by placing it under the solar panel. |
As with the other new surveillance system (mentioned in the
previous post), this system is independently powered with solar panels and linked to the main surveillance system with wifi.
Because the system is mounted on a very stable fence post, I've configured the cameras to detect motion rather than take time lapse images. This greatly reduces the volume of images being captured each day and has thus allowed me to increase the resolution of these images.
