Where do we need IP65 CCTV cabinet box with UPS for surveillance system?
Many of the CCTV cabinet box with UPS for surveillance systems designed by Edgeware for customers have IP65 level ingress protection. In fact, looking around the world, there are many special areas that require IP65 CCTV cabinet box. Some special environments make it impossible for general civil systems to work stably for a long time. For example, some cities in the Middle East and West Africa are close to desert areas, and many cities are in high temperature and high humidity environments for a long time. As a supplier, we cannot understand these areas based on the needs of general projects, and we need to customize solutions for these customers that are suitable for their scenarios.
CCTV cabinet box with IP65 Ingress Protection required for special environments
The above picture shows a Middle Eastern city close to the desert. These cities may appear in the desert areas of West Africa or other desertified areas around the world. When we need to deploy CCTV networks or outdoor IOT solutions in these cities, we need to make some special considerations. The biggest challenges in these areas are as follows:
- High ambient temperature
The ambient temperature in these areas is very high, so when deploying CCTV cabinet boxes and UPS for surveillance systems, special attention should be paid to heat dissipation. At this time, traditional solutions include forced fan cooling and air conditioning cooling. However, fan cooling inevitably uses CCTV cabinet boxes with IP55 ingress protection. The following figure is a typical FAN cooling method.
It is conceivable that if this type of cooling solution is deployed in a dusty area, the CCTV cabinet box and UPS for surveillance systems will be surrounded by sand. How can we expect the long-term reliability of the entire system?
So, let’s change our thinking. Is it feasible to use air conditioning to cool the CCTV cabinet box?
Using air conditioner cooling to handle the heat dissipation of CCTV cabinet box and UPS for surveillance systems will make the entire CCTV cabinet box IP65 ingress protection, but the dust will affect the stable operation of the air conditioner in the outside world, and the entire air conditioning system will have problems after a while. Therefore, air conditioner cooling for CCTV cabinet box in cities in desert areas is not feasible.
The above picture is a typical tropical seaside city, which is generally located in Southeast Asia, Central and South America. The typical characteristics of these cities are high humidity and high temperature all year round. What’s more, when these cities are located on the seaside, the salinity in the air is very high. At this time, if you want to deploy CCTV cabinet boxes with UPS for surveillance systems, you can’t use the general solution. The main problems faced by these areas are:
High ambient temperature
Because of the high temperature environment, we use typical fan cooling, which will cause high humidity air to enter the CCTV cabinet boxes due to the problem of high ambient humidity, thereby damaging the UPS for surveillance systems and other supporting equipment.
High ambient humidity
Because of the high ambient humidity, there are even special requirements for the material of CCTV cabinet boxes. If general galvanized steel is used to deploy in these areas, it won’t take long for the entire CCTV cabinet boxes to be corroded.
The picture above shows the scenario of one of our Central American customers. It shows the impact of long-term high heat and high humidity on the outdoor cabinet shell and internal equipment.

Typical Problem of Outdoor Power Solution Based on IP55 Outdoor Cabinet
Edgeware helps you design solutions for special scenarios
Edge Span series is an all-in-one CCTV cabinet box designed specifically for outdoor edge network scenarios. Edge Span is a highly integrated system with power , battery , network ,and edge control all in one. The system can achieve standardized one-stop outdoor deployment instead of traditional outdoor cabinet style deployment. The main features of Edge Span series are as follows:
- IP65/NEMA4
The system has IP65/NEMA4 level ingress protection, and can easily cope with complex outdoor environments. The entire system is cast aluminum, which is completely rust-proof.
- All in One Design for One Stop Deployment
All in one design avoids the traditional outdoor cabinet assembly-style purchasing and installation mode and achieves standardized one-stop rapid deployment.
- Natural Heat Dissipation
The system does not contain mechanical parts such as fans, and dissipates heat completely through natural heat dissipation, allowing the system to work outdoors for a long time without maintenance.
- Comprehensive Surge Protection
In response to outdoor lightning challenges, the system has lightning protection designs for all device inputs and outputs, thus ensuring that the entire system can work stably and long-term outdoors.
- Power, Network, and Control Unified System
The revolutionary design integrates power, network, and control into a standard whole to facilitate quick outdoor deployment. There is no more tedious work such as site assembly, cabling, and debugging.
- Programmable Edge Core
The built-in programmable core enables easy scenario-based customized development to meet customers’ deployment, control and monitoring needs in different scenarios.
Edge Span series is widely used in video surveillance, smart city, environment monitoring, industrial control and other scenarios.
