The Videolarm ACH13WM/ACH13HBWM is IP Network Ready outdoor, environmental camera housing for IP box cameras up to 10.5” long and 3.6” wide. This housing is also unique in the fact that it can be equipped with a 24VAC or 12vdc heater/blower. The heater automatically activates at 50° F and deactivates at 80° F while the blower activates at 110° F and deactivates at 80° F, keeping your camera safe from the harshest weather. Protect your camera even further with the ACH13WM’s sunshield. For easy installation, Videolarm created the ACH13WM with a flip-top opening and can be mounted to a flat wall or round pole for your application.
