Hikvision Solar Bundle · 4MP ColorVu · Pan-Tilt · WiFi · Off-Grid Ready
The Hikvision DS-2XS3Q47G1-LDW(H)/C18S40 Solar PT Bundle Kit is a complete off-grid 4MP security camera package — one box, ready to install at any remote Australian site that doesn't have mains power or wired internet. The kit pairs Hikvision's flagship ColorVu solar pan-tilt camera with a 40W solar panel, a 180Wh lithium battery, the Hikvision SMA antenna adapter and a roll of Hikvision AF003-100 waterproof sealing tape — everything needed to deploy a self-powered, weatherproof CCTV camera at farms, building sites, remote properties, paddocks, jetties, mine entrances or any location where running power and data isn't practical.
Hikvision's ColorVu technology delivers true 24/7 full-colour video — no infrared black-and-white, no missed detail. The camera tracks across 340° pan + 110° tilt via its motorised PT head; the solar panel itself independently rotates to follow the sun for maximum daily charge. Built-in WiFi (no SIM card or cellular plan required), two-way audio, and Hik-Connect remote viewing from anywhere in Australia round out the kit. Backed by a 5-year Australian warranty.

Everything in the box
This is a true plug-and-play solar kit — three Hikvision-branded components packaged together so you can install at a remote site in a single afternoon, with no return trip for missing parts.
1 × Hikvision Solar PT Camera (DS-2XS3Q47G1-LDW(H)/C18S40)
The main unit — 4MP 1/3" CMOS sensor, F1.0 ColorVu lens, 2.8mm fixed focal length, motorised pan-tilt head, dual lithium battery (8.4Ah × 2 packs ≈ 180Wh total), built-in WiFi, two-way audio, microSD slot, PIR-triggered recording and white-light deterrence built in. Ships fully assembled with mounting bracket and integrated 40W solar panel.
1 × Hikvision SMA Antenna Adapter (SMA-ADAPTER)
SMA-M to RP-SMA-F adapter — lets you connect an aftermarket high-gain WiFi antenna if your install site has weak router signal. Useful for sites where the camera sits 30m+ from the nearest WiFi access point or behind dense foliage.
1 × Hikvision Waterproof Sealing Tape (AF003-100)
Self-amalgamating sealing tape — wraps cable joins, antenna connections and bracket penetrations to maintain the camera's IP66 weatherproof rating after install. Australian outdoor conditions (sun, rain, dust) demand it — skip this step and the warranty can be voided.
What you'll still need
A microSD card (up to 512GB) for local recording, plus a basic mounting surface — wall, pole or beam. Optional: a higher-gain WiFi antenna (uses the included SMA adapter) and the Hik-Connect app installed on your iOS / Android phone for remote viewing.
Why this kit suits Australian off-grid sites
Most "solar security cameras" sold online are battery-only with a small panel barely able to keep up in winter. The Hikvision solar PT kit is fundamentally different — a 40W solar panel (3–4× the size of typical consumer kits) paired with two 8.4Ah lithium battery packs for serious off-grid endurance. Even in Australian winter conditions with cloudy days, the kit can deliver up to 6 days of proactive recording on battery alone, or 30 days in standby. For perpetual operation, the 40W panel typically generates a 24-hour energy surplus across most of mainland Australia.
True 24/7 ColorVu Night Vision
F1.0 ColorVu lens captures full-colour video down to 0.0005 Lux — the warm-white supplementary light only kicks in when needed. Capture the colour of clothing and vehicles, not just IR silhouettes.
Active White-Light Deterrence
Built-in white light flashes on PIR-triggered intrusion to physically deter intruders — turning the camera from passive observer into active deterrent at remote sites where response times are long.
Motorised PT — Camera AND Panel
Camera pans 0–340° and tilts -5° to 105° for full perimeter coverage. The solar panel itself also pans 0–358° and tilts -40° to 0° — so you can angle it for optimum sun capture independently of where the camera looks.
Two-Way Audio & Talk-Down
Built-in microphone and speaker let you challenge intruders live from your phone via Hik-Connect — *"You're being recorded, please leave"* — without needing to drive to site.
Battery Life Tuned for Use Case
Three power modes: Performance (3.6 days continuous), Proactive (6 days motion-triggered), or Standby (30 days low-activity). Match the mode to your site's activity level.
Hik-Connect Remote Viewing
Free iOS and Android app for live view, playback, two-way audio and push notifications — no cloud subscription, no static IP, no port forwarding required.
Hikvision-grade hardware, Australian-grade support
Every component in this kit is genuine Hikvision-branded — no third-party batteries, no aftermarket panels, no compatibility surprises. Ships from our Australian warehouse with the full 5-year Hikvision Australia warranty, local firmware, and on-the-phone tech support from our Sydney team when you need help with setup or troubleshooting at site.
IP66 Weatherproof
Rated for outdoor mounting in rain, dust and direct sun. The included waterproof sealing tape maintains the rating after install.
microSD up to 512GB
Local recording onto your own microSD card — typically 30+ days of motion-triggered footage at 4MP. Card sold separately.
PIR-Triggered Recording
True PIR sensor (not just video motion) reduces false triggers from leaves and shadows — meaning fewer wasted recordings and longer battery life.
Hik-Connect App
Free iOS / Android remote viewing — no static IP, no port forwarding, no monthly fees. Push notifications direct to your phone.

Frequently asked questions
Do I need a SIM card or mobile plan?
No — this is the WiFi variant. The camera connects to your existing 2.4GHz WiFi network and uses Hik-Connect for remote viewing. No SIM, no cellular plan, no monthly fees. If you need a 4G/LTE version for sites without WiFi, ask us about the DS-2XS3Q47G1-LDH/4G variant.
How far from my WiFi router can the camera be?
Typical line-of-sight range is 30–40 m. For longer distances or obstacles in between, add a higher-gain external WiFi antenna using the included SMA adapter — extends range to 50–80 m+ depending on environment.
Will the solar panel keep up year-round in Australia?
Yes — the 40 W panel paired with 180 Wh of battery generates a daily energy surplus across most of mainland Australia (Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane, Perth, Adelaide and most regional areas). Tasmania and far-southern sites in deep winter may need to switch from Performance to Proactive mode to extend run time.
Why is the waterproof tape included?
To maintain IP66 weatherproofing at the cable join and antenna connection after install. Without proper sealing, water ingress at those joints can void the warranty. The AF003-100 is Hikvision-branded self-amalgamating tape — peel, stretch, wrap.
Does it record locally or to the cloud?
Local microSD recording (up to 512 GB) — no cloud subscription. You can also stream live and play back via Hik-Connect on your phone. Card sold separately.
What's the warranty and where does it ship from?
5 years Hikvision Australia warranty on the complete kit. Ships from our Sydney warehouse — most metro orders arrive in 1–3 business days, regional Australia 3–5 business days.
