Geovision GV-HOUSING103 IR Housing Box

Geovision GV-HOUSING103 IR Housing Box

Overview

The GV-HOUSING103 is a weatherproof IR-equipped housing enclosure designed to protect and extend the operational range of IP PTZ camera systems in outdoor surveillance deployments. The integrated infrared illumination enables continuous 24/7 monitoring beyond daylight hours, eliminating the need for separate external IR lighting — a significant cost and complexity reduction in multi-camera outdoor installations. This housing is purpose-built for outdoor perimeter security, parking facilities, loading docks, and other low-light environments where mechanical protection and night vision capability are non-negotiable.

Compatibility

The GV-HOUSING103 integrates with Geovision IP PTZ camera systems and operates within Geovision surveillance deployments running GV-Center V2 Standard, GV-Center V2 Pro, or GV-Center V2 AI management platforms. It supports ONVIF-compliant PTZ controllers, enabling integration into multi-vendor VMS environments where PTZ control via standard protocols is required. Verify specific camera model compatibility using the Geovision GV-Selector tool before procurement, as housing accommodation varies by PTZ form factor and optical turret design.

Installation Notes

Mount the housing to building facades, poles, or vertical infrastructure using standard outdoor mounting hardware rated for your wind load zone and structural material. Ensure electrical connections to PoE infrastructure comply with 802.3af delivery standards (standard PoE, 13W typical). Route network cabling through conduit to prevent UV degradation and moisture intrusion at termination points. Verify weatherproof connector sealing and gasket integrity before final installation — poor cable entry is the primary cause of optical fogging and IR performance loss in field deployments. Confirm local electrical codes require grounding of the metal enclosure to facility ground.
