Axis Cold Weather Cameras With Arctic Temperature Control
We know that all electronic equipment often struggle to perform accurately in extreme cold or heat, and surveillance cameras are no exception. Network cameras are often installed in remote locations that are exposed to harsh weather conditions. With the winter months fast approaching, we need to ensure that our surveillance equipment stays in top shape, even in the colder temperatures.
Axis has developed advanced technologies that protect IP cameras in harsh winter environments, even during power outages. Their Arctic temperature control system allows some cameras to operate with full precision in temperatures as low as -50°C.
These cold-weather cameras feature onboard heaters and fans to keep the internal parts from freezing. But in the case of a power outage, there is no internal heat to keep the parts warm. When the power is restored and the camera systems come up, the frozen parts and bearings can cause harm to the camera and lead to a breakdown.
Several Axis cameras come with a feature called Arctic Temperature Control, wherein if a camera is powering up from a deeply frozen state, the temperature sensor will suspend all mechanical activity and only start the onboard heater. Once the camera temperature has reached safe levels, the mechanical activity will be re-started. This system ensures reliable operation even during power failures.
Despite requiring additional power for heating, these cameras are fully compatible with Power over Ethernet (PoE) and PoE+ standards.
Here are some of the Arctic temperature control models by Axis:
