Covert Camera Housings

Recommended Posts


I would be inclined to do some building/ rigging. I've never really seen anything off the shelf before...

 

Can you talk more about the application or is it top secret?

I need outdoor rated covert housings for urban environments to hold cameras and computers. That is all I can say.

 

I know I can build them but I don't have time and I want to just concentrate on the electronics so I am looking to see it there are any suppliers.

Have you done this before?

 

If you haven't your in for a big surprise.

You will burn up stuff like there is no tomorrow. Ask me how I know.

PC mother boards, hard drives, and power supplies will burn up every July.

Most cameras have a 120 degree limit.

 

If you put a PC outside it will need an environmental enclosure like these:

By the time you add the heat and AC package to them your looking at about 5 to 8G's per enclosure.

Thanks for the link but I need enclosures with windows

 

Yes I have. We have cameras out in the field with routers and 3g/4g connectivity in heated/cooled housings without any issues. I am building the same thing just in a different box.

I think you should check with ddbunlimited.com as they will not be as price described above. They do custom work in four weeks or less. They may even have the identical item your looking for in stock.

 

Do you need heat and air or just fans?

Supercircuits does a covert camera like that, not sure about the quality though. Could use the set up and put your own camera in.
