cams that will withstand hurricane conditions

[ncpilot 0]

Hello all, I've been reading this forum for a while, and last night looked at posts going back to mid-year 2005, and did a search for "hurricane"--but couldn't find anything specific on how well cams will withstand hurricane conditions.

 

I'd like to install at least 2 exterior cams, possibly under eaves, not sure at this time...

 

I'm inland about 2-3 miles from the shore, and since I've lived here, have been through 4 hurricanes--granted, of fairly low intensity once they've made landfall.

 

Or, should I consider the cams to be sacrificial if a "big one" hits? Is that a better strategy in choosing a camera?

Vandal Resistant Waterproof Cameras. Extreme CCTV has alot of these, but at their cost, I took them all down for each hurricane! Vandal Domes (Waterproof with rubber seals) would be the most likely to survive big one, if the place they are mounted does that is.

 

Ive left my cheap bullet cameras up and they survived years ..

...there are so many other more important things to worry about during a hurricane, like... will my anemometer survive? (well, my anemometer I think is good beyond a Cat3, but I don't know about the pole...)

 

Thanks, just wanted an experienced point of reference... I'll most likely just go for something that will work 99% of the time, and worry about the 1% when it happens...
