HelioSentry is a solar-powered outdoor security camera built to run without wiring or an outlet, using a detachable high-efficiency panel that keeps the battery topped up through cloudy days and short winter light as long as it faces open sky. A 4MP sensor captures sharper detail than a typical 1080p camera, clear enough to make out faces or license plates at a reasonable distance.
Motion is picked up by a PIR sensor that sends an instant phone alert while an auto-wake mode conserves battery between events, and a built-in microphone and speaker let an owner speak to visitors remotely. Footage saves to a local SD card by default, so there is no subscription required to keep clips, with optional cloud backup available for anyone who wants an extra copy off-site.
