i have a few funny cctv clips, can i post them here?

I have been looking for the same thing, I still have found nothing that will fit in those mini p/t domes, how cold does it get there? here it drops down to -45c at times without the wind. I am not sure that the unit would stop working do to the cold. I do know that starting the p/t camaera in a frozen state is not good, I tested one at -30c and it locked up and the video failed, once I warmed it up, the pt part recovered without a problem. in the end the cameras video board was lost. I sent a letter to the company that makes the camera, they told me that they would look into the probem. Four days later they sent me a new spec sheet on the the dome with a -35c rating I am expecting a new shipment of them this week, I will let you know if they came up with a mini heating strip. empak

I live In Northern Manitoba, north of the 55th, the temp drops to -45c without the wind at night, I find that most IR CCD outdoor cameras with IP65-66 rating work well at these cold temps, I would not recommend shutting down the camera and starting it from a cold state. If the camera is running and the temp drops, it seems to stay running. I have tried cheap eBay brands and name brands they keep on ticking trough the cold; I would not waist money on cases and heaters. NOTE: this does not apply to PTZ type cameras as the motors will freeze up and most likely burn out. empak
