Solar Powered WiFi Surveillance
This seems like a pretty smart use of a variety of technologies. Helping companies put up surveillance cameras in hard to maintain places, Proxim and Hutton Communications have developed a solar-powered WiFi-enabled surveillance camera called the SolaCam. Since it uses WiFi, you don't have to worry about wiring it up to a central server. Since it's solar powered they also don't need to worry about getting power out to the camera either. Yet another "unexpected" use of WiFi that makes a lot of sense.
Thank you for reading this Techdirt post. With so many things competing for everyone’s attention these days, we really appreciate you giving us your time. We work hard every day to put quality content out there for our community.
Techdirt is one of the few remaining truly independent media outlets. We do not have a giant corporation behind us, and we rely heavily on our community to support us, in an age when advertisers are increasingly uninterested in sponsoring small, independent sites — especially a site like ours that is unwilling to pull punches in its reporting and analysis.
While other websites have resorted to paywalls, registration requirements, and increasingly annoying/intrusive advertising, we have always kept Techdirt open and available to anyone. But in order to continue doing so, we need your support. We offer a variety of ways for our readers to support us, from direct donations to special subscriptions and cool merchandise — and every little bit helps. Thank you.
