What does solar power add to a hunting trail camera?

A solar panel keeps the built-in battery topped up so the camera can run through a full season without battery swaps. For remote sites where you cannot drive out every few weeks, that is the main reason to buy a solar model.

What battery capacities do the solar hunting cameras use?

Our solar line uses two built-in capacities — 5200mAh (PR903G and PR903DW) and 7800mAh (H2G and H1W) — each paired with a solar panel, and all can also take 8 x AA as a backup.

Do solar hunting cameras also connect over 4G or WiFi?

Both. PR903G and H2G are solar + 4G LTE, while PR903DW and H1W are solar + WiFi. Solar handles power; the connectivity choice depends on whether the site has cellular coverage or is within WiFi range.

What documents are needed to export a solar (lithium-battery) camera?

For the market you ship to: model-specific CE, FCC or RoHS certificates. For freight: because the unit contains a built-in lithium battery, carriers require the battery's UN38.3 test and a safety data sheet (SDS/MSDS). Ask the factory for all of these before booking the shipment.

What is the minimum order quantity for export?

Samples are available from 1 piece so you can verify the unit and its documents in your own market, then full OEM/ODM orders (custom logo, packaging, firmware) from 100 pieces.

Export Solar Hunting Camera Guide

"Solar" is the most requested feature on a hunting camera — and the one most often oversold. Here is how to verify a real solar setup, the documents you need to export it, and how to structure a wholesale order.

If you are looking to export a solar hunting camera, you are usually selling to a buyer who wants "set it and forget it" — a camera that runs through a whole season without anyone driving out to swap batteries. That promise is exactly what solar delivers, and exactly what a cheap copy fakes. After 10 years building trail cameras in Shenzhen, here is the checklist before you commit to a container.

1. Solar — Verify the Panel + Battery Pair, Not the Label

A genuine solar camera has two parts working together: a solar panel that recharges a built-in battery. What to check:

Built-in battery capacity — the buffer that keeps the camera running on dark days
A solar panel that is actually included, not a mount for one the buyer must source
A fallback (8× AA) for heavy cloud cover or deep winter

Our solar line uses two built-in capacities — 5200mAh and 7800mAh — each paired with a solar panel, with 8× AA as backup. The bigger the built-in pack, the more cloudy days the camera rides out before drawing on backup.

2. Solar + What? Match Connectivity to the Site

Solar handles power; it does not decide how the photos reach the buyer. Our solar models split into two connectivity groups:

Model	Photo / Video	Power	Connectivity
PR903G	60MP / 5K & 4K	5200mAh + solar	4G LTE
H2G	60MP / 8K & 4K	7800mAh + solar	4G LTE
PR903DW	60MP / 4K	5200mAh + solar	WiFi
H1W	60MP / 8K	7800mAh + solar	WiFi

How to position it: Solar + 4G (PR903G, H2G) is for remote land with cellular coverage and no nearby power or router. Solar + WiFi (PR903DW, H1W) is for farms, lodges and properties where a router or hub already exists.

3. Night Vision & Trigger

Solar does not change the optics. A solar hunting camera is only as good as its low-light performance. Ours use 850nm infrared (up to 20m) on the solar line with a 0.3s trigger and 120° detection — enough to fire on moving game and shoot cleanly in the dark, when most hunting photos are taken.

4. Certifications & Battery Shipping — The Export Part Most Buyers Skip

Because a solar camera contains a built-in lithium battery, exporting it involves two separate document sets. Get both before you book the shipment:

For the market you sell into: model-specific CE / FCC / RoHS certificates, named to the exact model number
For freight: the battery's UN38.3 test and a safety data sheet (SDS / MSDS) — carriers will not move lithium-battery cargo without them

This is the step that surprises new importers. A camera can be perfect on the bench and still get stuck at the airport without the battery paperwork. Ask for both sets up front.

Export a Solar Hunting Camera

Factory-direct from Shenzhen to 50+ countries. Request a sample from 1 pc with full CE / FCC / RoHS + UN38.3 / SDS documents, or a full OEM/ODM order from 100 pcs.
