Hikvision, a global leader in AI-powered Internet of Things (AIoT) solutions, has unveiled its innovative AOV 4G Solar Camera Series, designed to deliver dependable and uninterrupted video security for remote and off-grid environments. This new series addresses the challenges of monitoring locations lacking traditional power and network infrastructure.
Product Overview
The initial offerings in the AOV 4G Solar Camera Series include:
* **DS-2CFSP4/4G:** A 4 MP PT (Pan-Tilt) camera with a single lens, immediately available.
* **DS-2CFS04/4G:** A 4 MP bullet camera with a single lens, also immediately available.
* **DS-2CFSP8-D/4G:** A dual-lens PT camera (4 MP + 4 MP) slated for release in January 2026.
Addressing Critical Market Gaps with AOV Technology
Traditional cameras often struggle in remote areas lacking electricity or network access. Earlier 4G solar camera models, reliant on Passive Infrared (PIR) technology, were prone to missed recordings, false alarms, and power management issues. These cameras typically entered sleep mode when no motion was detected, resulting in critical security coverage gaps.
Hikvision’s groundbreaking AOV (Always On Video) technology offers a paradigm shift. By maintaining the cameras in an active yet ultra-low-power recording state, AOV ensures genuine 24/7 continuous video coverage, eliminating the shortcomings of PIR-based systems.
Core Technology and Features
Always-On-Video Technology Explained
Unlike traditional PIR-based cameras that only record upon motion detection, AOV employs intelligent adaptive frame rate control:
* **Static Scenes:** When no motion is detected, the camera records at one frame every two seconds, minimizing power consumption.
* **Event Detection:** Upon detecting an event, the camera instantly switches to 15 frames per second (fps) for smooth, detailed footage.
This sophisticated approach ensures complete records while significantly reducing storage needs. The AOV recording mechanism uses approximately 1/30th of the storage space compared to standard full-time recording.
Advanced Power Management for Extended Operation
Each camera model is equipped with a 9000mAh battery, providing up to seven days of continuous operation without sunlight under typical conditions (50 alarms per day, 10 minutes of live view, and 10 PT operations). When paired with efficient solar charging panels, these cameras deliver long-lasting performance across a wide range of environmental conditions.
Seamless 4G Wireless Connectivity
Integrated 4G connectivity allows for flexible deployment without the need for network cables, making these cameras ideal for temporary or remote sites. Simply insert the SIM and SD cards, power on the device, and scan the QR code via Hik-Connect to instantly add the camera and access a live view on your phone.
AI-Powered Detection for Accurate Alerts
AI-powered visual detection accurately identifies people and vehicles, drastically reducing false alarms while ensuring that relevant events are captured and flagged for review.
Versatile Applications Across Industries
The AOV 4G Solar Camera Series is engineered for a wide array of off-grid applications, including:
* Agricultural facilities such as farms, orchards, ranches, and tea plantations.
* Residential backyards requiring enhanced security.
* Temporary construction sites needing reliable surveillance.
* Any location where power and network access are limited or unavailable.
“AOV technology represents a major leap forward for solar-powered cameras,” said Rubio Hong, Product Director at Hikvision. “It allows users to capture every moment continuously, combining reliability, efficiency, and ease of use in one integrated solution.”
