Reliability is an important criterion for both wildlife observation and object monitoring - especially when it comes to power supply in the field. If you rely on technology that has to cope with the conditions of the great outdoors, you need well thought-out solutions. With the universal solar panel for wildlife cameras, BRAUN Photo Technik provides such a solution: robust, efficient and consistently designed for use in the open air.

The functional intelligence of this compact energy supplier is revealed at first glance. At its heart is a powerful solar panel made of monocrystalline silicon embedded in a PET surface. With a rated output of 3 watts and a current of 500 mA at 6 volts, it reliably supplies the connected devices with solar energy - even under difficult lighting conditions. The conversion current in low light (1600 LUX) is still 2 mA, enough to cover the standby requirements of a camera. This means that functionality is largely maintained even in cloudy skies, fog or rain.

What particularly distinguishes the panel is its remarkably low power consumption. In standby mode, it consumes just 12 microamperes - a value that is hardly significant. And even in idle mode, consumption remains below 300 microamperes, which means that the system draws practically no power at no load. This is a decisive advantage, especially for long outdoor use where every milliampere has to be taken into account.

The energy is stored in an integrated 18650 lithium battery with a capacity of 5200 mAh. This battery not only ensures a continuous power supply, but is also monitored by an intelligent management system. A monochip computer controls the charging and discharging processes, recognizes problematic situations - such as a deeply discharged battery - and reacts automatically. As soon as a device is connected, the system is activated automatically without the need for manual intervention.

Versatility is also key: three DC outputs are available and supply 6V at 2A, 9V at 1.3A or 12V at 1A as required. A standard connection on the solar panel (5.5 x 2.1 mm) allows a wide variety of devices to be connected using the cables included in the scope of delivery (5.5 x 2.1 mm, 4 x 1.7 mm and 3.5 x 1.35 mm). The input power is supplied via a DC input with 5V/2A - also standardized and easy to integrate into existing systems.

The panel is also adaptable in terms of external conditions. With an operating temperature of -20°C to +60°C, it can withstand both icy cold and summer heat. Humidity of up to 90 percent does not impair its function - ideal for damp forests or morning dewdrops. The IP66 protection class also guarantees that dust and strong water jets cannot harm the housing. This ensures long-lasting and low-maintenance operation.

The universal solar panel from BRAUN Photo Technik is not just an add-on for wildlife cameras, but a sophisticated energy unit that blends unobtrusively but efficiently into the rhythm of nature. Its discreet operation reflects a technical maturity that focuses on durability and reliability - qualities that count more than anything else out in the field.
