Special Protection Cameras Secure High-Risk, Cameras Secure High-Risk,

Chinese camera manufacturers are providing customized robust housing designs for applications requiring explosion-proof, vandal-proof and waterproof products.


Waterproof or weather-proof protection is generally used for outdoor speed domes and IR cameras. Indoor fixed IR domes usually have vandal-proof capabilities to enhance security.
