4G LTE and Solar Power for Remote Locations
A micro SIM slot supports 4G LTE bands 38/40/41, matching Singaporean carriers like Singtel and StarHub. Paired with solar energy, the camera stays online even in off-grid sites. No wiring, no downtime.
Smart IR and 30m Night Vision
With 0.004 Lux sensitivity and 850nm IR wavelength, it delivers sharp 1920×1080 footage at night. Smart IR auto-adjusts intensity to prevent overexposure. Even in total darkness, objects 30m away stay visible.
The H.265+ compression slashes bandwidth use by 50% versus H.264. Store more footage without sacrificing quality—critical for long-term projects. Every feature is built for Singapore’s surveillance challenges.
Detailed Technical Specifications
Behind every clear image from the CH20S40 lies advanced sensor and lens technology. Designed for Singapore’s urban and off-grid environments, its hardware ensures reliability in diverse conditions. Below, we dissect the core components that power its performance.
Camera and Image Sensor: Low-Light Mastery
The 1/2.8″ Progressive Scan CMOS sensor delivers exceptional clarity, even at 0.004 Lux sensitivity. Perfect for dimly lit construction sites or nighttime surveillance, it captures crisp 1280×960 footage. 3D DNR (Digital Noise Reduction) minimizes grain from tropical rain, while a 52dB SNR ensures clean signals.
Lens Options: Flexible Field of View
Choose from three fixed-focus lens options:
- 2.8mm: 107° wide-angle for broad coverage (e.g., parking lots).
- 4mm: Balanced 78° view for mid-range monitoring.
- 8mm: 41° narrow focus for distant details like license plates.
Eachlenspairs with the CMOS sensor to optimize light intake.
Video Performance and Compression
Record at 1080p@30fps with H.265+/H.264+ compression, reducing bandwidth by 50%. The camera streams six views simultaneously—ideal for multi-angle surveillance. Local storage supports 256GB microSDXC cards, with NAS compatibility for large-scale projects.
Built to Endure Singapore’s Climate
An IP66-rated shell shields against monsoons and dust. Tested for -30°C to 60°C, it withstands both humidity and heat. The rugged design ensures uninterrupted operation in harsh outdoor settings.
Solar Power and Battery Performance
Singapore’s frequent rain showers are no match for the CH20S40’s advanced solar and battery backup. Its hybrid power supply combines a 40W solar panel with a 20Ah lithium battery, ensuring the camera works continuously through monsoons and overcast skies.
40W Panel Meets 20Ah Lithium Battery
The system needs just 1.77 hours of daily sunlight to sustain 24/7 operation—easily achieved in Singapore’s 4.5-hour average. The lithium battery tolerates -20°C to 60°C, outperforming standard batteries in tropical heat. Even on a rainy cloudy day, it delivers a 5-day battery life.
5-Day Backup in Adverse Weather
Compared to competitors’ 2–3 day limits, the CH20S40’s extended battery life days reduce maintenance trips. Its 1.76W average consumption optimizes energy use, while temperature protection prevents overheating during charging.
ROI vs. Wired Systems
Solar eliminates trenching and grid costs. Over three years, projects save up to 45% versus wired setups. Remote wakeup features let operators conserve power supply during low-activity periods, extending hardware lifespan.
