Vivotek AE-239-WBS Outdoor Vandal-Proof Camera Housing

Vivotek AE-239-WBS Outdoor Vandal-Proof Camera Housing

The Vivotek AE-239-WBS is a rugged outdoor camera housing engineered for demanding surveillance environments. Built from cast aluminum with IP68 waterproof and IK10 vandal-proof ratings, this enclosure protects Vivotek box cameras against dust, water immersion, and physical impact. The integrated PoE power input, combined with climate control systems, delivers reliable operation across extreme temperature ranges from -20°C to 65°C.

Key Features

• IP68 waterproof and IK10 vandal-proof cast aluminum construction
• PoE 802.3 input with dual power outputs (PoE + 12V DC)
• Integrated window heater (10W) with automatic temperature control
• Thermostat-controlled cooling fan for thermal management
• 30W maximum power budget for flexible camera configurations
• Compatible with all Vivotek box cameras
• Multiple mounting options: wall, ceiling, corner, and standing
• Includes wall bracket, sunshield, and installation hardware

Technical Highlights

The AE-239-WBS automates climate control with intelligent heater and fan operation. The window heater activates at temperatures ≤30°C (86°F) to prevent lens condensation, while the fan engages at ≥40°C (104°F) to dissipate heat. This dual-system approach eliminates manual intervention and ensures consistent image clarity in fog, rain, and extreme cold.

Power delivery is streamlined through PoE input (50-57VDC per IEEE 802.3), reducing installation complexity and cable runs. The 14W combined draw for heating and cooling allows adequate headroom within the 30W power budget for mid-to-high-resolution Vivotek cameras.

Applications

Ideal for perimeter security, parking facilities, industrial sites, and exposed outdoor areas where cameras face vandalism, dust, moisture, and thermal stress. The IK10 rating withstands impact equivalent to 20 joules, protecting against deliberate damage. IP68 submersion resistance ensures operation in wet environments including light snow and heavy rain.
