Post subject: Camera & enclosure for desert conditions
|
Hello all!
I'm currently searching for solutions installing CCTV systems in the desert.
It means the system will have to cope extreme temperatures, wind and sand.
Anybody please has some hints for product selection regarding the enclosures and cameras (for instance, if I need wipers: it must not damage the glass...)
Many thanks in advance!
Patrice

If I were designing a system for extreme outdoors, especially wind-blown rain, dust, sand, etc. I would incorporate "positive air pressure" somehow. A little Positive Air Pressure would keep most dust, etc. out of any housings. I have installed a few types of Machinery Housings where I used just a few PSI of clean , filtered air, to keep out dust from a Powdered Silicon Manufacturing facility. Then again, you would need to either store this compressed air, or pipe it somehow. Better yet, would be a few PSI of Dry Nitrogen in a sealed housing.

First steps: Is the system battery or ac line powered? is it overt or covert? Can the system be accessed for maintenance and at what intervals?

I'm a big fan of Mobotix cameras which can withstand harsh environments.

Hello
There will be ac line power. It will operate outdoor in the desert (I guess it means "overt").
I would prefer a maintenance free system.
Kind regards,
Patrice
