I had a small solar panel that powered my electric gate. That was wonderful...until some asshole decided to steal the entire gate opener ram, bracket, and the solar cell! It's back to manually opening and closing the gate, these days.
Sounds like you need a Solar Powered security camera too.
Or, at least a $3 sign.

Might work in some areas... Thieves around here don't give a **** about your camera...
I have video of some asshole stealing my camera... I know who he is & where he "lives"... I provided the info to the cops, they won't do anything.... But if I do anything I'll go to jail...
I also have video of a neighbors car being hit & the car driving away... I know who the guy was, I have pictures of his car in his driveway with the matching plate # & matching damage.... Cops told us they could be sued for harassment if they knock on his door....
Security cameras are great if you keep your mouth shut & go extract justice vigilante style but cops are better with doughnuts than they are with criminals... Maybe there really is some logic to this defund the police crap....
