Smartec Presents a New All-Weather Thermal Housing for a Video Camera with IP67 Rating and a Side Opening Case

The new all-weather thermal housing STH-6231D-PSU2 from Smartec is the optimal solution for protecting a video camera from external influences in a wide temperature range - from -55 to +50 °C.

Due to the large usable volume of the internal space, this thermal housing can be used for a video camera of a fairly large size, taking into account the optics and additional equipment (media converter, twisted pair transmitter, etc.). The STH-6231D-PSU2 is equipped with three heaters, a power supply for the video camera and has a cast aluminum alloy body with an integrated sun visor and a convenient side opening of the upper part.

Due to its large useful volume (105x77x255 mm), the STH-6231D-PSU2 thermal housing can be recommended for installing large-sized video cameras together with additional equipment, such as twisted pair transmitters, media converters, etc. At the same time, for simple and quick access to the interior, the STH-6231D-PSU2 has a side opening of the upper part of the housing, and the ability to adjust the position of the camera on the mounting plate allows you to use the thermal housing for a video camera with different dimensions and optics. The integrated sun visor prevents direct sunlight from hitting the viewing glass and lens of the video camera and eliminates glare.

The use of a two-stage heating system for the internal space of the thermal housing with automatic switching on and off ensures stable operation of the video camera at low temperatures (down to -55 °C). The first heater switches on when the temperature drops to +10 °C and switches off at +25 °C, while the second is activated at lower temperatures (from 0 °C) and stops working at +15 °C, respectively. In addition, the thermal housing for the STH-6231D-PSU2 video camera is equipped with a viewing window heater, which prevents ice and condensation from forming on the glass. All three heaters create an optimal microclimate for the video camera inside the thermal housing.

An additional advantage of the STH-6231D-PSU2 is the presence of a standard mounting bracket, the design of which provides for full through wiring of the cable with its subsequent output into the wall or outside at the base of the bracket, which is important when using the thermal housing in adverse weather conditions. Using optional STB-CAT10 and STB-CAT11 adapters from Smartec, this thermal housing for a video camera can be easily mounted on a pole/mast, including a wide diameter. At the same time, for quick connection of a video camera with an external power supply, the STH-6231D-PSU2 has a built-in 3 A power supply with an output voltage of 12 V DC. current.
