Heat characteristics of cctv

Recommended Posts

Hi, For normal bullet cameras like dahua or hikvision.. do they have fan inside the enclosure? If none.. won't the integrated circuits rise in temperature enough to melt the circuits or even burn the camera? Any experience in this?

 

I have this small pinhole camera that is 1080p and the metal case is quite hot. This means the IC inside is very hot.. won't it burn? How many Celsius before the processor melt?

The metal case is hot because it is used as a heatsink to draw heat off the internal electronics. You would be surprised just how hot modern electronics can run

I'd hide the pinhole camera above the ceiling of a warehouse where the atmosphere is hot.. about 40-45 Celsius. Provided the metal case can't remove the heat enough, and the electronics temperature rise.. what approx temperature before it melts the circuit boards? Anyone experience this happen before?

Check the specification s on the camera you are planning to use, it should give you the temperature range it can work at.

 

Like, Hikvision's pinhole camera -> "-30 °C ~ 60 °C"
