Asserting its place as an industry leader, OxBlue is offering a line of professional grade solar-ready construction webcams and rugged solar power stations to run them. The new units provide the same high-definition image capabilities of the popular OxBlue construction cameras and are backed by the comprehensive customer care that has become OxBlue's trademark.

As with OxBlue's other product lines, the solar offering has been designed for transportation to remote sites and simple installation. The solar power stations provide digital readouts on system status and performance.

They are comprised of battery banks managed by an automated charge controller system. The unit is housed in a pole-mountable, lockable aluminum enclosure, with lightning protection and circuit-breakers for both the solar array and battery banks. Both the solar-ready camera and power station are designed for easy client-installation, requiring minimal setup.

The power station's energy independence, coupled with a wireless interaction, allow for freedom of placement on jobsites where traditional power sources can otherwise not be conveniently or economically provided.

While new solar and green-friendly solutions have been desired across the construction industry, the accelerating demand resulted in OxBlue's decision to begin production of a standardized solar-ready construction webcam solution.

CEO Chandler McCormack and OxBlue have been providing construction cameras since 2001, "We've seen an increase in customer demand for solar systems, in tandem with an ever-increasing use of construction cameras. We felt that it was time to develop a truly integrated solar-ready camera solution."

By redesigning the internal power components of the system and working with a team of experienced solar engineers, the solar-ready cameras can afford an 80% drop in energy consumption allowing for a power solution with five-plus days of solar autonomy.

"We wanted to standardize the system, to take the guess-work out of solar performance, reliability and pricing."
