Huisun Mini PTZ V1 - Housing to Protect from Sun?

[patrocle]

So i been having some problems with my Huisun camera, camera goes offline/no signal, or will cycle, or will have fuzzy colors,goes out and comes back on,etc...

But i notice from last night while sun went down the camera comeback on and is still on at this moment! The sun started to hit the camera at this time (8:30 am) and the sun will stay till about 7 pm pointing to the camera, so

i am guessing that the camera will get very hot and will start doing the above problems.

Now i am trying to find a Housing for it to protect it with an other layer from the sun. Anyone know if one exists to buy? but just for the cam only and the not for the bracket.

Found this on Amazon and to use that but with out the front glass.



What you think?

 

[Q™]

How do you pan and tilt with the that housing over the Huisun Mini PTZ?

Is the cam using internal poe? I had similar symptoms with Longse s500 cam. Since then I took poe out of enclosure and have not had any issues.

I was going to use the top and sides, some how , so i don't touch the pan and tilt.

I have the cam outside and the Ethernet cable all way in my office to the tp-link 8 port poe+ .

So, you are powering this using internal POE, I would suggest to disconnect it immediately and wait until you external adapter arrives. It may still survive:

You need to wrap that ethernet connection asap if you haven't yet...if not im surprised it survived this long

The power supply should be ok since it's 2Amp, but all you need really is that slitter. Make sure to waterproof it though.

It was wrapped with electrical tape , but i took it down to check the plug.

Is there any special covers that can easily fit within? as last time i look you have to cut the cables and put the plug inside and then re-connect the cat5,6/etc plug back.

So put that slitter at the cam ?
And yes i had some electrical tape over that plug so rain or sun not to hit it.

Yes no other additions needed your cam will continue to be powered by your poe+ switch. Splitter just splits data and 12v

Ok Got it.
Ordered that splitter and waiting for it to come, will update when it comes.

Appreciate your advice and help!

I take it you guys would recommend that anyone using POE needs to get one of those splitters just to be on the safe side?

Is anyone at Huisun (like the ones that have been repairing these for free) offering to send a splitter for no charge as a preventative measure?

One could always make an "African roof" out of white roof flashing tin. Basically a second skin suspended a quarter of an inch or so away from the camera body. Some Land Rovers have a vented second roof for hot climates like Africa.

I am certainly not taking any chances and added splitter to all my mini ptz cams. It's clear it's a time ticking bomb using internal POE and if we had a moderator who cared he would have made a sticky by now.

We dont care...

Coax seal

+1 Roger that (stuff) good buddy.

I've been applying red electrical tape first and then covering the electrical tape with coax seal. This method has two (2) advantages IMO. First, the red tape allows me to clearly ascertain what is sufficiently covered with Coax Seal and what is not. Second, When I remove the coax seal everything which has been sealed isn't all gummed up with Coax Seal residue (especially an issue in hot weather).
