The Best Solar-Powered Security Cameras for Kenyan Homes (2025 Guide)
If you live in a place where the power goes off at least once a week, you know the frustration.
Your fridge stops. Your lights go out.
And if you have a traditional CCTV camera? It stops working too.
That's why thousands of Kenyans are switching to solar-powered security cameras—reliable, independent, and ready to protect your home day or night.
In this guide, we'll show you exactly why these cameras are worth considering, how to pick the right one, and which models other families trust.
🔋 Why Go Solar?
Solar-powered cameras aren't just trendy gadgets. They solve real problems you probably face every day:
✅ No more worrying about power cuts.
Even if the electricity goes off, your camera keeps recording.
✅ Save on electricity bills.
The sun does all the work for you.
✅ Install them anywhere.
No wiring. No electricians. Mount them on a pole, a fence, or a wall.
✅ Peace of mind when you're away.
Check your property anytime on your phone—even if you're in Mombasa, Nakuru, or abroad.
🏠 Who Should Consider Solar Cameras?
Solar-powered CCTV is perfect for:
✔ Rural homes without stable electricity
✔ Farms and shambas far from mains power
