Samsung has carried out tests on its external dome cameras to ensure they can withstand exposure to saltwater when they are deployed as part of a port’s CCTV or are used for other security projects located close to the sea.
All the company’s SNP and SNV IP network domes, besides the SCP and SCV analogue models, have met the internationally accepted KS C 0223 Environment Test Specification, as have manufacturer’s external thermal imaging cameras and SHB-4300 housings. Peter Ainsworth, Senior Product Manager for Samsung Techwin Europe Ltd, said: “The purpose of test is to verify that electronic items are resistant to the corrosive effects of seawater. External cases, internal metal parts, screws and connectors have all been tested to verify that each of the camera domes are built to a standard which is sufficiently robust to cope with demanding coastal environmental conditions.”
The test involved placing each dome in a saltwater tank for 24 days and subjecting them to sprays of water at varying temperatures and humidity.
