Construction Of A CCTV Camera Battery Pack

Electrical Electronics Engineering | Industrial Physics | Physics

Ensuring uninterrupted surveillance in remote or power-outage-prone areas demands a meticulously crafted CCTV camera battery pack. The cornerstone of such a system lies in the selection of high-quality components and a methodical construction process. To begin, sourcing reliable batteries, such as lithium-ion or lead-acid variants, is imperative to guarantee extended operational lifespans. Incorporating a durable enclosure, weatherproofing seals, and shock-absorbent padding fortifies the pack against environmental elements and physical impact. Strategic placement of battery management systems (BMS) and voltage regulators safeguards against overcharging, undercharging, and voltage fluctuations, thus optimizing battery longevity and camera performance. Moreover, integrating solar panels or alternate charging mechanisms enhances autonomy and sustainability, ensuring continuous surveillance even in remote locales. Adhering to stringent construction standards and regular maintenance schedules, this bespoke battery pack promises steadfast power supply, enabling seamless CCTV monitoring in diverse operational settings.

Battery pack includes a main body having a circuit board and parallel batteries arranged therein. Battery pack is a set of any number of (preferably) identical batteries or individual battery cells. Battery pack parallel arrangement is designed to have higher level of ampere per hour. The first control unit controls an input voltage of an external power supply and an output voltage of a battery power of the battery, which powers the device. Battery pack comprises of a special battery in a special case with a special circuit to control power flow. The aim of this work is to build a battery power pack that stores electrical energy (deposit it in the bank) and then later use it to power a CCTV camera.

CHAPTER ONE

1.0 INTRODUCTION

1.1 BACKGROUND OF THE STUDY

A battery pack is a set of any number of (preferably) identical batteries or individual battery cells.^[1] They may be configured in a series, parallel or a mixture of both to deliver the desired voltage, capacity, or power density.

Components of battery packs include the individual batteries or cells, and the interconnects which provide electrical conductivity between them. Rechargeable battery packs often contain a temperature sensor, which the battery charger uses to detect the end of charging. Interconnects are also found in batteries as they are the part which connects each cell, though batteries are most often only arranged in series strings.

When a pack contains groups of cells in parallel there are differing wiring configurations which take into consideration the electrical balance of the circuit. Battery regulators are sometimes used to keep the voltage of each individual cell below its maximum value during charging so as to allow the weaker batteries to become fully charged, bringing the whole pack back into balance. Active balancing can also be performed by battery balancer devices which can shuttle energy from strong cells to weaker ones in real time for better balance. A well-balanced pack lasts longer and delivers better performance.

For a CCTV battery package, cells are selected and stacked with solder in between them. The cells are pressed together and a current pulse generates heat to solder them together and to weld all connections internal to the cell.

The aim of this work is to build a PORTABLE rechargeable battery pack for 12V CCTV cameras which supplies High 6800mAh battery capacity

1.2 PROBLEM STATEMENT

CCTV surveillance systems are frequently the subject of debate. Some parties seek to promote their benefits such as their use in criminal investigations and providing a feeling of safety to the public. They have also been on the receiving end of bad press when some consider intrusiveness has outweighed the benefits [1][2].

The correct design and use of such systems is paramount to ensure a CCTV surveillance system meets the needs of the user, provides a tangible benefit and provides safety and security for the wider law-abiding public. For this reason, a cctv requires a steady power supply for the user to ensure adequate result. Power pack in cctv came to ensure a steady power supply to the cctv most expecially when power fails. It has the capacity of sustaining the cctv up to 36 hours.

1.3 OBJECTIVE OF THE PROJECT

The objective of the project is to design a device that is used to charge and power cctv camera. It is PORTABLE rechargeable battery for 12V CCTV cameras and it supplies High 6800mAh battery capacity (up to 36 hours).

1.4 SIGNIFICANCE OF THE PROJECT

Power pack serves as a power source for the CCTV camera. Power pack helps to ensure longer hours of the camera. CCTV battery pack can be swapped into or out of a device. This allows multiple packs to deliver extended runtimes, freeing up the device for continued use while charging the removed pack separately.

Another advantage is the flexibility of their design and implementation, allowing the use of cheaper high-production cells or batteries to be combined into a pack for nearly any application.

1.5 SCOPE OF THE PROJECT

This work is on a CCTV camera battery pack. This device uses standard lithium rechargeable batteries, which can be bought almost anywhere, to power CCTV camera.

The circuit charger device charges the battery for a brief period of time. Then, they stop, check the voltage, and verify the temperature against an internal table before deciding to stop or continue the charging process. The charging regulation required by the battery is performed within the device getting charged, and this design takes advantage of that circuit.

LIMITATION OF THE PROJECT

it can only be recharged with mains supply
it supplies 12V CCTV output to the cameras
it has 6800mAh battery capacity which can last upto 36 hrs

1.6 PURPOSE OF THE PROJECT

The purpose of this work is to ensure steady and sustainable power supply to CCTV camera.

1.7 APPLICATION OF THE PROJECT

Apart from using this device for powering CCTV camera, this device can also be used to power other devices such as: music players, e-book readers, and other cameras.
