Powering The Sentry 6000 Series Pole-Mounted Standalone Security Camera System with FP285A Streetlight Power Tap

The Sentry 6000 is a rugged portable or permanent Surveillance solution that can be used in extreme outdoor conditions. It is well-designed with flexible mounting options and configurations, making it one of the best customizable security solutions available. 


The key features of the Sentry 6000 include:

  1. Advanced Interactive Dashboard 

  1. Flexible power source 

  1. Universal Mounting Brackets 

  1. Modular Design 

  1. Limitless integration 

The surveillance system is equipped with rechargeable batteries that store power when available, ensuring an uninterrupted power supply. It is also compatible with top-tier cameras, sensors, and video management systems, making it a versatile security solution. Ideal for various applications, this system enhances monitoring and security in parking areas, commercial and business districts, highways, toll booths, airports, bus and train station entry points, bridges, tunnels, perimeter fences, and more. 


Securing a reliable power source in outdoor locations can be a challenge. A smart and efficient solution is to leverage existing infrastructure, such as the NEMA ANSI C136.10 receptacle found on streetlights like the popular AEL 247L LED, to power the surveillance system ensuring seamless operation without the need for additional wiring or dedicated power sources. The FP285A power tap adapter is a perfect solution for this application. 


The FP285A is a dusk-to-dawn, time-switched Power Tap Adapter that turns the auxiliary power on at dusk and off at midnight. This is enough time to charge the surveillance’s batteries to ensure full-time operation. This power tap adapter provides 120 VAC on a type B power outlet making it a good solution for plug-and-play devices 


The  FP285A installation is a simple twist-lock installation and does not interfere with normal luminaire photocontrol operation. The FP285A outlet also has a cover making it convenient and weatherproof.
