How extreme & rugged can an IP camera be? Meet MIC!

Mother nature doesn't give us a break from rain, snow, wind, cold, or heat. Don't forget about that camera you plan on installing outside.  Oh, and by the way, is it mounted on a bridge? Don't forget vibration challenges. But wait, it can get even worse, what if it's mounted on the deck of a ship?

Cameras need to deliver a usable image for security and observation, and also withstand the elements and other environmental situations.

Extreme cameras with exceptional environmental and imaging capabilities carry such certifications as IEC 60068-2-2:1995 and IAW MIL-STD-167-1A for high frequency, low amplitude vibration and resonant frequency. Also, extreme shock certification IEC 60068-2-27:1987 and the medium weight hammer shock IAW MIL-S-901D (NAVY) certification. NEMA 6P ratings ensure water submersion capability.

These videos depict just a few of the tests that challenge  the various technologies and environmental ruggedness of the MIC series cameras as well as the more common fixed domes you see every day in offices and retail spaces.

...and now MIC has a little personality to go with his big technology...

Testing also takes place for cameras used in more common applications. Impact testing for more common indoor/outdoor models:
