GV.Jackie 0 Posted April 14, 2011 Hi everyone, Wondering has any of you ever need to build a system with requirement of rugged design? By rugged, I mean such as below: 1. Wide operating temp. (like -40C to 70C) 2. Anti-vibration, anti-shock 3. High ESD, surge protection 4. Explode resistant etc... If you has, what's the solution you adopted? Asking this is because right now most surveillance equipment in industrial gade application are still analog, and to break into that market, you need a IP camera that can endure tough environment, and seems there is no such solution right now in the market. Most obvious example is that even with housing, IP camera usually has operating temperature range wide as only -20C to 55C. If there is one real tough IP camera hit the market, will you be interested? (if price is similar to Axis/Pelco level) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
GV.Jackie 0 Posted April 14, 2011 Let me put some more input. The reason why I started this topic is because people can find analog camera to work under extreme environment, -40C to 70C for example, but you can't find a IP camera match that spec. That's why I am wondering if people need to use IP camera in some tough environment, what's their choice? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SDM Group 0 Posted April 14, 2011 Might have luck using an IP Camera in a special housing that can meet the criteria, explosion proof etc. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Soundy 1 Posted April 14, 2011 One could also put an analog camera and an IP encoder in the appropriate housing... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
