News: Solar Powered Security

Homeowners can now be filled with that smug sense of self-satisfaction that only comes from saving the environment, while feeling eminently secure at the same time: a security camera powered by only the Earth’s sun.

Mi5 Security has come up with a stand-alone, wireless, weatherproof surveillance camera, the RedEye, capable of running totally solar. The outdoor security camera is portable enough to be stuck anywhere outside, and only begins filming when it detects movement. It comes standard with a 3.3mm wide-angle lens, and has options for infrared spotlights and modem connections.

The RedEye also uses the now-ubiquitious SD card, which means most computers will recognise its files right away.
