Battery Solutions for Garage Monitoring Wireless Cameras
Garage monitoring wireless cameras are becoming a key part of modern home security systems. They provide 24/7 surveillance, remote access and motion-triggered alerts, helping homeowners protect vehicles, tools and stored goods. Because these cameras are often installed in places without direct AC power, a reliable, long-lasting and safe lithium battery pack becomes the foundation of the whole system.
SHENZHEN PKNERGY ENERGY Co., Ltd. focuses on custom lithium battery packs for IoT and security devices, including garage and outdoor wireless monitoring cameras. Our engineering team tailors each pack to meet low-temperature performance, long cycle life and high peak-current demands, helping camera brands improve product stability and end-user experience.
Application Background: Requirements and Technical Challenges
Garage monitoring cameras must work in complex environments: temperature changes between day and night, long standby time and instantaneous high-power pulses during motion detection and video transmission. This puts very specific requirements on the battery pack design.
Key Battery Requirements for Garage Wireless Cameras
- Long endurance: 3–12 months operation on a single charge, depending on usage and recording mode.
- High energy density: compact pack to fit inside slim camera housings.
- Wide temperature range: stable operation from −20°C to 60°C for unheated garages and outdoor areas.
- High discharge capability: support for Wi-Fi or 4G transmission bursts and IR night vision LEDs.
- Low self-discharge: minimize capacity loss during long standby periods.
- Safe and reliable chemistry: combined with a robust protection circuit (PCM/BMS).
Main Engineering Challenges
- Very limited internal space inside compact camera structures.
- High peak current when IR LEDs and wireless modules turn on simultaneously.
- Outdoor and semi-outdoor garages with large temperature fluctuations.
- Certification and transport compliance for global markets.
To overcome these challenges, PKNERGY optimizes cell chemistry, BMS design and pack structure to create a stable, safe and easy-to-integrate battery solution for garage monitoring cameras.
