todd2 0 Posted August 5, 2009 I need to put a cam in a garage that is not air conditioned. It could reach 110F. Most cameras are rated to 100F at most operating temperature. Do I have any recourse? Will the camera just shut down if it gets too hot or would it start a fire? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Do I have any recourse? Will the camera just shut down if it gets too hot or would it start a fire? You did not mention what type of cameras you have in mind... If you use minidome type of cameras, some are rated to withstand decent high and low temperatures and exceed way over 110F at the high end.... If you want to use brick type of camera, then place it into a housing with heater and blower, which then will adjust the temperature according to environmental climate change.. Most outdoor minidomes already cover this base and some even come with additional heater and blower built in for more extreme temperature changes.. but dependent if you want a brick type of camera use, then select a decent housing with heater and blower..

Will the camera just shut down if it gets too hot or would it start a fire? Think a bit out of the box. Just use a cheap chines camera (20~80 usd) if it gets broken replace it whit a other one. Most camera`s will survive years in that condition. A trick can me to under voltage the camera so internal heat will drop. (most 12 volt chinees crap cameras work fine whit 9 volt or even 6 volt) Option 2: Also a little blower (2~7 usd) can be used to lower the camera heat. A normal brand camera, bit under voltage and a blower will work perfectly to. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

bob332 0 Posted August 29, 2009 read my last post here - http://www.cctvforum.com/viewtopic.php?t=13173, informal testing but they are still working. i don't think they are designed for high heat so if one burns up, i won't be upset, but they are currently kicking Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
