Please read the rules with regard to business advertising.

If you can prove your in the security installation trade, I will sell one direct to you otherwise I can recommend someone.

Since this is a specialist camera, price is not going to be cheap and its not going to be an "off the shelf" product either.

If it's what I think it is they do look like nice cameras but way out of my budget for a home project. Thanks anyway for the suggestion.

I'm starting to think I should just risk a normal camera and if it breaks then it'll have been an expensive experiment as it seems no one is able to tell me what happens to them below their reportage operating range. Maybe I'll be lucky as the camera will be somewhat sheltered by the house or the manufacturer was being cautious with their temperature ranges or global warming means the temperature won't go down that far after installation.

Yeah, I'll report back here when it's broken and you can all laugh at me...

The camera will be located in Finnish Lapland, near the arctic circle. Not quite Siberia but it can still get quite cold, although it rarely goes below -30C.

As a budget system I would try a small external dome, as small as you can find. When sealed correctly the internal electronics may be sufficient to keep the temperature inside the camera from freezing, but this would be operating the camera outside its specified parameters.
