Need a decent 300w 24v psw inverter?

Need one to run 24/7. Load would be minimal, maybe 50-75w max. I know I can get a Chinese, but concerned as I wont be around Monday thru Thursdays to keep an eye on it. Need it for a small load at my camp, (see here: http://k4kmg.com), during the week when I'm away. Prefer not to spend a bundle!
Any thoughts?
Thanks
Tom

Would a small, purpose built 12 v system be better (cheaper?) for those security cams rather than a 48v inverter?

Good quality 300 Watt 24 Volt Samlex http://www.solar-electric.com/inverters-controllers-accessories/inverters/sasiwain1/samlex-pst-series-pure-sine-wave-inverters/sa300wa24vos.html
If you're sure that's what you want. -

Thanks but I've already called NAS about this one. From the description:
'If you plan to use devices for extended periods, you may want to consider the more efficient SA series of inverters from Samlex. '
Price is right but they said heat might be an issue if it's on 24/7. Unfortunately the SA series is quite a bit more expensive. -

At less than 100 Watts load? I doubt it.
And if you buy a Chinese wonder what guarantee will you get that it won't just fry instantly? None. -

Check out Exeltech pure sinewave inverters. Just make sure that you get the correct voltage. They make from 12 - 108 volts input. Very high quality and NAWS sells them, although I have purchased several on Ebay for a very good price. They also make a 125 watt version that would probably work for you. I have purchased them in the past for $75 or so.
Good luck and let us know how it works out.12K asst panels charging through Midnite Classic 150's, powering Exeltechs and Outback VFX-3648 inverter at 12 and 48 volts. 2080 AH @ 48 VDC of Panasonic Stationary batteries (2 strings of 1040 AH each) purchased for slightly over scrap, installed August 2013. Outback PSX-240X for 220 volt duties. No genny usage since 2014. -

Inverters with remote on/off switches are very nice (I don't remember any of the Exeltech having remote on/off). It is a pain to use a relay. Although, if you use a large DC rated circuit breaker (instead of a fuse)--That is a pretty easy way to turn the inverters on/off.

I think only 600watt and above.Home system 4000 watt (Evergreen) array standing, with 2 Midnite Classic Lites, Midnite E-panel, Magnum MS4024, Prosine 1800(now backup) and Exeltech 1100(former backup...lol), 660 ah 24v Forklift battery(now 10 years old). Off grid for 20 years (if I include 8 months on a bicycle).
- Assorted other systems, pieces and to many panels in the closet to not do more projects. -

Thanks but no way to access remotely anyway.
