james.wilson Posted May 1, 2013 Posted May 1, 2013 I must admit i don't use internal stuff outside that needs silicone etc to allow it to be used outside... securitywarehouse Security Supplies from Security Warehouse Trade Members please contact us for your TSI vetted trade discount.
breff Posted May 1, 2013 Posted May 1, 2013 I chisel the wall out, fit a 20mm self seal gland as usually the hole in the back is threaded, squirt silicon in the gland, squirt silicon over the screw heads, run a bead of silicon all around the camera base/wall except about an inch on the bottom The opinions I express are mine and are usually correct! (Except when I'm wrong)(which I'm not)
norman Posted May 1, 2013 Posted May 1, 2013 If it needs silicone it's not suitable. Nothing is foolproof to a sufficiently talented fool.
Alarm Protection Posted May 1, 2013 Posted May 1, 2013 I agree norm but even if it doesn't need silicone up here we will run it round the camera as the wind and rain can batter a camera for hours. Especially on the east coast side. !
Oxo Posted May 1, 2013 Posted May 1, 2013 Screw it to the wall in its plaggy bag. Who cares if it mists up

Anyone who doesn't silicon 3 sides of IP rated plastic JBs (no not the bottom Norm) and vandal cameras hasn't fitted enough to understand why we do it!

reidy Posted May 1, 2013 Posted May 1, 2013 We tend to use eyeball cameras and cable managed bases (adata le rings), you absolutely have to seal those Hey Ho, Lets Go
alterEGO Posted May 1, 2013 Posted May 1, 2013 With the weather in this country silicone is always worth while, cameras are alot better these days but old habbits and all that.
