Are these cameras looking directly at the radiation source? If not, you should purchase a camera encased in a preferrably steel casing but aluminum will help as well. Then figure the amount of radiation and where the source is. Purchase either a steel plate (1/2 inch should be sufficient) or even a lead plate and place it between the camera and the radiation source. This should stop any normal harmful radiation from reaching the electronics of the camera. Gamma rays will go through almost anything so if you that's the type of radiation this solution will not work.

 

many types of radiation in low amounts will not harm electronics but instead may have the effect of distorting or blurring an image. If radiation is hitting the CCD element of the camera you may have this problem.

 

Microwave radiation is probably the easiest to defend against. Simply purchase a cheap microwave, remove the door and place it between the camera and the radiation source. Microwaves will reflect so be careful with this solution.

Dont forget to put the door back on when you wanna make some popcorn,did some work with pipe crawlers years ago, the nuclear/nonnuclear specialty companies market alot of robotic,radiation resistant,inspection cams but be prepared to spend some money, http://www.symphotic.com/ http://www.roperresources.com/Nuclear-Hazardous-Environments.htm#5 if your lookin to do a startup "Which OEM will manufacture these type of cameras"(check patents: http://www.uspto.gov/main/profiles/international.htm) Are you involved in the Nuclear Industry (India) Check the canadian markets for gear, they did a lot of inspection/sub contract/work there.
