I have lived this way for 12 years and have just set up my shed...
Get a good battery..as many amp hours as possible, get a $150 two stoke genny from Bunnings and a 8 amp charger (more if possible charger) and a Dick Smith or similar cheap inverter ($50 to $70)... a panel would be nice but you can add it later...mine has panels as well.
But the genny is cheap runing is cheap and you will have all the power you will ever need for cameras, computers mount, hair dryer or heated dew tube, peltier device...wahtever but it is cheap and will always do everything you probably could do in the city... and at home you can use the set up when the power goes off on that rare occassion to have lights and tv... so you are justified spending the money.
Good luck
