Description
This was developed in response to the need for a quickly mounted security camera system. I wanted something that I could mount both the Ring Camera and Ring Solar Panel to that could be quickly moved to locations in a 7 acre industrial plant. It just so happens that there are many large steel structures that have at least 6 inches of flat steel. I have made separate tooled, (requires sheet metal screws) bases that more easily fit on 4" plate.
Why so large? Well I wanted to hide the large amount of wiring that came with the Solar Panel. This could be a lot smaller if I got out a soldering gun and shortened the wire. So far I am very impressed with how well the Solar Panel works, even mounted in the shade with mostly foggy days have kept the battery charged.
