Along with the ID800 smart camera, NovaTeqni is supplying it’s advanced SP100 Solar Power Pack.  The SP100 contains a number of integrated DC power outputs to power everything from mobile devices to personal computers and printers.  The proven and reliable power supply has been used in various countries for large projects and is also being used by the United Nations in Afghanistan.

 

First deliveries will take place in December 2016 with the project scheduled for completion early in 2017.
