   What voltage DC does the IP camera run from?  Assuming it's 12 volts or less,   
   dispense with the inverter and run everything from DC.   
      
   You really need to know exactly how much that IP camera draws to size your   
   solar   
   system.  Compared to the 24/7 drain of that camera, the light is nothing.   
      
   Don't forget the regulator!  In this case, another important bit might be a   
   low-voltage disconnect.  That would disconnect the load to protect the battery   
   if you have too many cloudy days and it's charge state gets too low...
