Solar-powered surveillance technologies have gained prominence for their sustainable, autonomous, and
versatile solutions. This comprehensive review explores three key solar-powered surveillance technologies:
solar-powered CCTV cameras, solar drones, and solar-powered sensor networks. Each technology offers
distinct strengths and weaknesses, making them suitable for various applications. Solar-powered CCTV
cameras provide adaptability, energy independence, and rapid deployment, while solar drones offer an aerial
perspective, extended endurance, and versatility. Solar-powered sensor networks excel in localized
environmental monitoring. The choice of technology depends on factors such as the surveillance
environment, budget constraints, required surveillance range, and specific monitoring needs. Organizations
can benefit from hybrid solutions that integrate multiple technologies for comprehensive coverage. Future
trends include advanced energy storage solutions, AI integration, enhanced power efficiency, and cloud-based
data analytics, promising to improve performance and sustainability. Public-private collaborations and
sustainable urban planning initiatives will drive further adoption and integration. Solar-powered
surveillance technologies empower effective and environmentally sustainable surveillance solutions,
contributing to a safer and more sustainable future
