Extreme dust environment

[Bart 0]

Hi,

 

I am to install a few cameras in a mine area. Due to the grinding of the stones, the area is constantly dusty.

I am considering adding some dome cleaners (wipers), but I am afraid the result will be the same after a few days of use.

Could anyone recommend some solutions?

 

Also, it is not possible to arrange a daily cleaning by human personnel.

 

Thanks in advance,

Bart

I've had great success with the Bosch MIC-500. Plenty of accessories available for it. It is on the pricey side though.

These people have a variety of enclosures for difficult environments:

ETA: Sorry, I thought they had washer enclosures, but I don't see them now. Here are some:

They sell enclosures for hazardous areas, typically for explosion resistance or chemical issues. Google explosion proof camera housing. There's always a few companies selling these at trade shows.
