The new RHINO CCTV housing kits provide protection for the camera and cable using an all-new cable-managed bracket. Finished with an attractive metallic silver coating the RHINO looks far more expensive than it actually costs!
With the RHINO's integrated cable managed bracket you can bring the CCTV cables directly into the housing without them being exposed to vandals or the elements. The bracket facilitates either the cable coming directly into it through the wall or rising up to it.
Fully adjustable, it's easy to mount the new RHINO housing to look in any direction so that you can get the exact shot of the scene you want. Using an engineer friendly one-hand locking mechanism it means you can securely lock the bracket into position using just one hand for safer installation at height. The locking allen key is provided with the kit.
The RHINO's attractive silver finish means it looks great on both traditional and contemporary buildings, being a deterrent but not an eyesore. If you are going to fit an expensive CCTV camera that is never going to be seen, you still need to make sure that the housing looks good and the RHINO certainly does.
Using a dual-voltage heater that's suitable for both 12V DC operation and 24V AC operation the RHINO can be used flexibly in a multitude of CCTV installations with different power supplies.
Unlike some heated housings, the RHINO doesn't use a resistor to heat it up and instead uses a special "switching-thermistor". The thermistor has the added advantage that its resistance changes with its own temperature. This means its output heat is actually variable to suit the outside air temperature. When its very cold the thermistor has a low resistance permitting maximum heat output. Similarly, when the thermistor gets hot its resistance reduces and the heat output is lowered.
In addition to the thermistor the RHINO also contains a thermostat to switch on the heater only when needed. This prevents the CCTV camera being overheated in the warm summer months.
The RHINO standard comes with a rear-hinged lid that shares its design with our original CCT426 housing. It has good engineer access and a locking clasp is provided at the rear of the housing to lock it with a small padlock (sold separately).
SUMMARY - When you buy a product that looks and works far better than you would expect for the price you paid for it you know you have bought well, that sums the RHINO up.
