Need Ideas on cameras located in a cooler environment....

[scottj 0]

Guys,

 

I need to pick your brains on your thoughts for cameras located in a cooler (about half the size of a walmart store) which operates between 32-35 degrees F with near saturation humidity levels.

 

Any ideas would be very much appreciated. I'm not sure if going with a high quality heated/fan housing is best, or a combination of camera and housing both should be taken into consideration. If any of you guys have experience with these types of installs I really could use a hand of advice here. I need around 40 of these units within the next two weeks.

 

I got suckered into this gig, I would normally pass this on to another company but there are politics involved as usual.

 

Thanks,

 

Scottj

Also this for a varifocal version, though the one above is proven:

and if you need a dome, you could ask them about this also, it should hold up but they may have another suggestion:

Spoke to them already and they said "No can do" with their cameras...

They didn't recommend it. Would love to use their cameras, need over 100 total for this install.

Scott, Bosch make some very good NITROGEN-PRESSURIZED housing with cameas and they are excellent... Here are what they have available:
