INSTALLATION AND OPERATION

MODEL 

 WEATHERPROOF MAXIMUM SECURITY HOUSING

1. INTRODUCTION

The information in this instruction manual covers the instal-
lation, operation, and maintenance of model 

Weatherproof Maximum Security Housing.

This unit should be installed only by a qualified techni-
cian using approved materials and wiring practices in
accordance with national, state, and local electrical
codes. Failure to comply with these instructions may
result in personal injury and/or damage to the equip-
ment. Read these instructions through completely before
attempting installation.

The 

 housing provides a tamper-resistant means

of concealing a video camera on either a ceiling, wall, or
pole and is intended for use in high-risk areas where
surveillance equipment is vulnerable to physical damage
or criminal violence. The housing is designed for small
solid-state cameras with fixed-focal-length lenses.

The housing is constructed entirely of welded lo-gauge
steel and is protected by cast-iron-gray vinyl paint. It is
virtually impenetrable and completely closed and sealed
against moisture. A thermostatically-controlled heater and
defogger option (Model 

 is available for

outdoor applications. The camera window is 
thick (0.95 cm) Lexan

A hinged bottom section (the

cover) is provided with a specially-keyed double-acting
lock for an uncomplicated but secure locking system.

The housing may be mounted directly to a solid ceiling,
or it may be mounted to a wall or pole using the 
Mounting Adapter. The housing is designed with an
axially adjustable camera platform so that the camera
can be adjusted easily and the lens focused from below
the ceiling.

Provision is made for routing electrical connections,
including AC power lines and video cables, into the
housing. There are two holes in the top of the housing
for this purpose. Since the cables pass directly into the
ceiling or mounting adapter, they are not exposed at any
point to vandalism.
