Mounting SND-5080 outside, under eave

[deridere 0]

Hi All,

 

Your opinion will be much appreciated on the following:

 

Can I mount Samsung SND-5080 dome directly under eave. This is not outdoor camera, and in the specs it says :

 

Operating Temperature-Humidity : -10°C ~ +50°C (+14°F~ +122°F) / 20% ~80% RH

 

Installation is in Kent, South East, UK- so no extreme cold or hot weather, but it rains a lot.

 

Do you think this is a bad idea, or any tips on helping with weather proofing this dome?

Indoor dome cameras are not designed for external/outdoor use.

 

External dome cameras usually have ingress protection (proper seals), fan/blower and heater assembly.

 

Here is internal pic of IP66 rated Samsung SNV-5084.

Thanks for confirming that.

 

So would any IP66 rated camera OK for mounting under eaves?

 

Is this one good: http://security.panasonic.com/pss/security/products/hd/wv-sf138/spec.html

For exterior/outdoor cameras, ingress protection IP66 is recommended.

 

Not a big fan of Panasonic cameras, good WDR, but overpriced and not reliable...

 

 

Have you set a budget for this camera?

 

What is the lighting conditions for the location of this eaves mounted camera?

Will this camera be facing the sun most of the day?

What is night-time lighting like?

Do you have street lighting nearby, or motion activated lamps?

Hi, Budget is quite limited, but I've got access to special pricing as I'm A/V installer, and one of my dealers has released a clearance list of damaged packaging products. I'm trying to use some of these as are half the price. (WV-SF138E for £170 ($260), and Bosch NDN-832V09-P for £270($410))

 

 

Thinking more about positioning, I might be able to mount the camera on the west side of the house, so its not exposed to direct sun glare, or you might be able to provide some tips.

 

Camera mounting location is looking directly South, so exposed to sun most of the day, on the a few sunny days a year. Street lighting is about 130ft (40) meters away, but motion lighting is available.

 

If i get a dome camera, i'll mount it to the eaves, if not ill mount to the wall. I also got access to Lilin portfolio. Anyone used these before- Lilin LR7022 £150 /$230?
