The Hikmicro T16 18650 Battery Camera + SP5000 Solar Panel bundle is an off-grid 4G cellular trail camera system designed for continuous surveillance of remote properties and wildlife. The camera pairs a native 6 MP image sensor capable of delivering up to 24 MP interpolated still photos and Full HD 1080p video with audio, transmitted directly across Australian 4G mobile networks to the HIKMICRO Sight App. Equipped with 64 GB of built-in internal storage, the unit eliminates the need for external SD memory cards. Unattended field runtime is maintained through four 18650 rechargeable Lithium-ion batteries continuously trickle-charged by the included SP5000 solar unit, which integrates a 5,000 mAh lithium power bank and 5 W solar output.

Key Features

• Cellular Transmission: Sends Full HD 1080p footage and images over 4G LTE networks directly to the HIKMICRO Sight App and HIKZone mapping platform.
• Dual Field of View: Selectable optical coverage offering 60° narrow-angle monitoring for game trails or 100° wide-angle viewing for open yards and paddocks.
• Integrated Storage: 64 GB of onboard internal memory prevents data corruption issues associated with external memory cards.
• Rapid Motion Triggering: Dual PIR motion sensors deliver a ~0.4-second trigger speed up to a 25-metre detection range.
• Invisible Night Illumination: 940 nm "no-glow" infrared LEDs provide clear night vision without alerting game or trespassers.
• Self-Sustaining Solar Power: The SP5000 unit supplies a 5 W maximum power output backed by an integrated 5,000 mAh rechargeable power bank.
• All-Weather Protection: IP66-rated dust and water resistance across both the trail camera housing and the solar panel.

Who is the Hikmicro T16 18650 Battery Camera + Sp5000 Solar Panel for?

• Remote property managers — requires continuous, maintenance-free surveillance at remote farm assets and water points using this 4G cellular trail camera, powered by the 5 W maximum output solar panel and 5,000 mAh integrated lithium power bank to eliminate manual battery swaps.
• Hunters — relies on monitoring feral pests and game along active trails with this 4G cellular trail camera, capturing fast movements via the ~0.4-second trigger speed and resolving target detail using the native 6 MP sensor that delivers interpolated captures up to 24 MP.

Less suitable for: Applications requiring target identification beyond a 25-metre detection distance, where PIR triggering will not reliably activate; long-range thermal optics or dedicated PTZ security cameras fit those extended observation ranges better.
