Typically, a solar camera will require the camera and the solar panel to be mounted on a wall, post, or even the roof. The solar panel should be placed in the best available position to absorb sunlight, while the camera needs to be placed in the best location for keeping an eye on the house.  Mount it near the side door, front door, back door, windows, garage, or anywhere else you need coverage. Regardless of the product, always follow the manufacturer’s recommendations for placement and installation to help keep your home safe.
