Panduit Uses Dotworkz Housings for Camera Protection

In a recent article in Security Products Magazine, Fredrik Nilsson General Manager of Axis Communications, discussed how Panduit built a remotely-monitored global video surveillance system. Some of the cameras installed were housed in Dotworkz outdoor enclosures.

He notes in his article, "...IPVision turned to Dotworkz Dome enclosures to ensure optimum performance under conditions ranging from harsh Chicago winters to Costa Rica's tropical humidity."

Dotworkz enclosures have a wide range of operational temperatures, ranging from -60 degrees F to 150 degrees F, making them the ideal solution for surveillance projects in extreme environmental locations.

Axis Camera Study Concludes IP Camera System Worth The Cost

Last week Axis Communications released a report of its "Total Cost of Ownership" commissioned study measuring the cost savings break point between an analog cctv surveillance system and an IP Camera security system. The final verdict: 14 cameras, which is 18 cameras shy of the 32 cameras suggested in a 2007 study produced by the same research group, Lusax at Lund University in Sweden.

This report reflects the exponential growth in network-based video surveillance technology as well as the shifting change in costs for these widely popular IP video cameras.

Just some food for thought when you're deciding between a future-less cctv video system and a futureproof network camera solution.
