Camera power conversion

[rmckin6412]

I have a camera that uses DC 5volt 1Amp and it gets the power from an AC adapter. I want to convert it to solar plus battery pack. I am looking at 5W X 24 = 120 watt hours X 3 days for no sun = 360 watt hours. Don't know where to go from here. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. BTW, I purchased a 5 volt 1 Amp solar panel and in full sun it will power the camera.

100W panel (oversize to allow for full recharge in a day following 3 bad days of sun).
10A PWM or MPPT controller.
30Ah usable capacity 12V battery.
8-22V to 5VDC converter.

I use a similar set up for my CCTV camera

5v solar panel > usb battery bank 10,000mah > CCTV camera


The camera has it's own battery as well, technically it is USB charged rather than powered. But a second separate usb battery bank ensures camera always has enough power to function 24/7 365
