Off-grid power for remote security cameras
The TP-Link VIGI SP9030 is a complete solar power system for CCTV where there's no mains power — a 90 W monocrystalline panel, a 31.2 Ah lithium battery with intelligent auxiliary heating, an MPPT charge controller and three DC outputs in one pole-mounted IP66 unit. Pair it with a VIGI C540-4G 4G camera and TP-Link rates it at about 8.5 days of runtime through rainy weather.
Built for Australian construction sites, farms, gates, car parks, water infrastructure and temporary events, it's managed from the VIGI App with live battery and solar stats, alerts and remote reboot. It's the higher-capacity step up from the VIGI SP6020, and it's backed by a 3-year Australian warranty.
TP-Link lab and model-simulation figures for guidance only. Actual results vary with location, season, panel angle and connected load. Cameras and bridges are sold separately.
What can the VIGI SP9030 power?
Low-voltage outdoor security gear with a 9–12 V DC input: 4G cameras like the VIGI C540-4G, IP cameras paired with a wireless bridge, and outdoor access points or bridges. It has three DC outputs (two 9–12.6 V / 2 A and one 12 V / 2 A). The RJ45 port is for management and does not supply PoE.
How long will it run without sun?
TP-Link's AU figures are about 8.5 days of cloudy-weather runtime with one VIGI C540-4G, 4.2 days with a camera plus wireless bridge, and 2.2 days with two cameras plus a bridge. Real runtime depends on your location, season, panel angle and total load.
SP9030 or SP6020 — which do I need?
The SP9030 has a larger 90 W panel and 31.2 Ah battery versus 60 W and 20.8 Ah on the SP6020. Choose the SP9030 for southern states, shaded or winter-heavy sites, multi-device setups, or when you want longer autonomy through rainy spells.
Does it come with a camera?
No. The SP9030 is the solar power system only. Cameras, 4G SIMs and wireless bridges are sold separately — the VIGI C540-4G is the most popular pairing for sites with no power or internet.
Is it suitable for the Australian climate?
Yes. It's IP66 rated, operates from −30 °C to 60 °C with intelligent battery heating, and the six tilt presets (5° to 55°) let you angle the panel for your latitude — steeper for Tasmania and Victoria, flatter for Queensland and the NT.
How do I monitor it remotely?
Through the free VIGI App (and web): battery level, solar generation, real-time load, low-battery alerts, schedules, remote reboot and firmware updates.
What pole size does it mount to?
It includes pole-mounting accessories for a vertical pole. TP-Link specifies Ø80–120 mm poles for this mount — confirm your pole before ordering.
How is it delivered?
It ships as one large carton (1110 × 615 × 225 mm, 17.5 kg). Freight is dispatched Australia-wide from local stock, so allow for a bulky-item delivery.
Is it good for construction sites and farms?
Yes — it's designed for sites where mains power is hard to reach: building sites, farms, gates, car parks, remote sheds, water tanks, reservoirs and temporary event security.
What maintenance does it need?
Keep the panel clear of dust, leaves and bird droppings, check cable glands after storms, and keep firmware updated through the VIGI App. The lithium battery is rated for more than 500 full cycles.
