Vivotek AE-23A-WBS Outdoor Weatherproof Camera Housing
The Vivotek AE-23A-WBS is a heavy-duty outdoor camera housing engineered to protect Vivotek box cameras in demanding environmental conditions. Built from cast aluminum with IP68 waterproof and IK10 impact-resistant ratings, this enclosure delivers reliable performance across extreme temperature ranges and harsh weather. The integrated climate control system—featuring a demisting window heater and thermostat-controlled fan—maintains lens clarity in all seasons, while the included adjustable sunshield reduces glare and UV exposure for consistently sharp images.

Power Management: 24V AC/DC input (26–28VDC required for Snap-in IR modules). Dual outputs support both camera power and auxiliary equipment, with 80W total budget accommodating high-power IR illuminators.
Night Vision: Optional IR illuminators offer flexible coverage from 40m to 350m, scaled to installation distance and lighting requirements.
Applications
Ideal for outdoor perimeter security, parking lots, loading docks, and industrial facilities requiring reliable 24/7 surveillance. The robust construction and thermal management suit cold climates, coastal environments, and high-temperature zones where standard enclosures fail.
