ACTi PMAX-0201 Outdoor Housing with Heater and Fan
Overview
The PMAX-0201 is an IP66-rated outdoor enclosure designed to protect surveillance cameras in harsh environmental conditions. Built for installations where seasonal temperature swings, moisture, and direct weather exposure would degrade or disable an unhoused camera system. The integrated heater and fan maintain optimal operating temperature across winter cold and summer heat, ensuring the camera stays within its rated thermal envelope without interruption. This is the right choice when you need robust environmental protection without building a custom shelter or running separate conditioning infrastructure.
Compatibility
Designed for integration with ACTi camera systems and ONVIF-compliant third-party devices. Supports PoE (802.3af) powered cameras, eliminating the need for separate power supplies at the installation site — power and environmental conditioning arrive through a single cable run. Accommodates 20MP+ resolution camera systems, making it suitable for high-resolution outdoor deployments where image detail and all-weather reliability are both critical.
Installation Notes
IP66 rating means the housing resists direct rain and dust ingress, but is not rated for full submersion. Verify mounting surface load capacity before installation; the unit weighs 5.5 lbs when assembled. PoE power budget must account for both the camera and the heater/fan draw — confirm your PoE switch or injector has sufficient wattage headroom. The housing is manufactured in Taiwan and designed for outdoor wall or pole mounting in standard surveillance deployments.
