anyone have a mfg of a outdoor houseing with heater/blower that is easy to install and works well with a good price... i havent been happy with the ones ive used this year

Have always been happy with the Pelco housings....Check out the EH3508.

I've tried others, but always came back to the Pelco housing. They have a good heater/blower and scratch resistant viewport. Very easy to use with hinged lid and a good weather seal around the hinged lid.

just started to use the HA-619HB with BR-208 from http://www.avssys.net Price wise they are cheap and the overall look is more modern. calm type cover, cable is enclosed completley and the camera "cradle" drops into position which allows you to swap out camera's or work on the unit without screwdrivers.........nice feature when your on a ladder.

Have a look at these. we use both the first one we pay $99 for

Im with Rapid, ive used others including GE's but im going back to Pelco now .. ive also used OEMs in the past but they dont match the quality and weather resistance of names like GE and Pelco ..
