Question about electricity usage?

wireless surveillance camera

I am wanting to set up a remote site for video surveillance. The remote site will have an IP camera, wireless radio for video transmission, and possibly a switch for multiple IP cameras. I was wondering how I figure the amount of watts they use per hour so I can find how many solar panels I will need.

            all u need is the watts they draw .. and u can figure out the solar panel by the volts and amps they can supply .. volts X amps = watts ..

            If the nameplate on the cameras and other equipment show operating voltage and amperage, just multiply them together to get wattage.
