Solar panel size reductions of approximately 25 percent and a similar percentage decrease in the weight of energy-storage batteries used in OxBlue’s solar power units are among improvements to the company’s line of construction cameras. Additionally, a recent redesign of the mounting system has made solar panels significantly easier for customers to install and lock into place. Driving the enhancements are continual advancements in technology. Upgraded components with a lower power draw has, in turn, lowered the power consumption of the camera system — thus requiring smaller, more user-friendly solar panels and batteries.
