Hi all,

I have a Wirless CCTV camera, that is powered via a DC12V/500mA power
adapter. Is it possible to make this compleley "wire free" by using a
solar panel and a solar battery?

For an example of the camera, see here:

For an Example of the Solar Battery, see here:

For an example of the solar panel, see here:

Yes.

Use a charge controller, a little excess battery and, a little more solar
panel than you think you need.
