Cold weather problems and your cameras

​How do you find cameras that perform in cold weather environments?

There are a number of things you can do. 1 is research your cameras online most cameras only are listed to about -15 f. If you live in Alaska, the Northwest or Siberia that is not going to cut it. You may find some cameras that will go as low as -40 f but they are few and far between. The best bet you have  is step number 2 which is putting your camera in an enclosure with a heater (click here for an example). This will help your camera stay at an ambient temperature year round. Be sure the heater itself is rated to operate in those cold weather conditions also and make sure you use an external power supply to power it. pulling from the cameras power will usually not have enough power. Check out the article below for more info. If you have any more questions leave your information and we will reach out to you with the answers.
