Technical Highlights
The OHPVTA1 kit combines physical security with electronic monitoring. Wire the tamper output directly to the camera's alarm input or to your VMS platform for real-time alert notification. The keyed fastening system ensures that only authorized personnel with the supplied tool can access the housing interior, preventing tampering and maintaining chain-of-custody in sensitive environments.
Installation and Integration
Engineered for seamless integration with Pelco surveillance systems, this accessory supports professional installation workflows and enterprise-grade deployment standards. Keep the tamper key secured and accessible only to professional service personnel. Before ordering, confirm your specific Pelco housing model compatibility, as not all housing families support the OHPVTA1 interface.
