Mounting IP Cameras Outside Of A Vehicle?
Help me out before I pull my hair out! I need an IP camera, preferably at least 1.3mp, that I can mount on the outside of a vehicle. It appears that no one supports mounting on the outside, just the inside. This thing will need to take a beating, to say the least. Anyone have any suggestions?
Why not something like a GoPro, that's designed specifically for this sort of use? I wheel with a bunch of Jeep drivers that hang these things off the top, side, front, back, and bottom of their rigs going through mud, rocks, and dense bush, and always bring back amazing video.
City Busses. So they will be expected to last several years in all temps and conditions, car washes, branches, etc. Shock and vibration up to 30G. 1 to 4 cameras per bus.

Hi there, we manufacture an external "puck" style camera that has been vibration tested to EN50155:2007 for rolling stock: the IPD6222 it's IP67 and vandal resistant, Onvif Profile S conformant and certified compliant by Milestone.
Do you have a booth at ASIS next week?
We're not exhibiting there next week but I will be there and my colleagues from LA are there too. We'd be happy to bring a camera for you to look at.
Also you may be interested in the IP NVR we've developed to go with this NVR404C currenlty capable of recording 4 cameras in realtime onto an internal drive (can be solid state).
This solution was developed with your application in mind, feel free to mail me direct; jasonhill@meritlilin.com
I dont have any personal experience in this application, but I've been considering the Mobotix S15 for vehicular implementation. I'll let you know if I ever get to it.
Why not consider some of the drive recorders that are coming up slowly? Quite popular in Asia.
I work at Seon Design. We sell a 720P outdoor rated camera and a 5 channel and 13 channel DVR for the mobile environment.
We are not at ASIS, but you can check out the specifications at Bus Camera | CHW8 Wedge | HD Stop-arm Camera | Seon.

Vivotek has a 2MP Vandal-proof Mobile Surveillance WDR Enhanced Network Camera model MD8562. It has the following rating: IK10, IP67 and EN50155.
Both Axis (M3113/3114) and Moxa (VPort P06) have vehicle rated (EN50155) IP cameras.
the MOBOTIX FlexMount S15 has Mobile-Ready (DIN EN 50155) rating, is rather Inconspicuous, has up to Two HiRes 180° Panorama lenses and can store recordings in the camera base and stream to a VMS.
"Camera with on-board image processing guarantees a minimal network load. Long-term storage on an internal SD card or externally on NAS."
Stream to a VMS, or their VMS, or NAS?
The Edge-base storage on SD in the camera not only simplifies that design it also improved the overall reliability of the system. An important question for this discuss would be what is the purpose of the recorded video, how often would it need to be reviewed or is there a need/desire to get dynamic notificiations on events.
Additionally, there are a couple of options on how the video could be accessed: wired or wireless.
If there would be multiple cameras (lenses) on the vehicle, a POE Switch would be an effective way to view video and power the units.
When cameras are used in exterior installations, heaters/blowers in the enclosure are usually a part of the BOM. In the case of the MOBOTIX S15s, there is now need for these.
A fuller understanding of the design goals/requirments would be helpful to give more effective set of answers/suggestions.
Genetec has a LPR camera that can be mounted on a vehicle, dont need to use the LPR functionnality, but the casing his ruggerize, could be expensive though.
good morning
in Circa 2020, any new vehicle mount cameras for surveillance?
Typically you want to look at a camera that is rated IP6K9K to handle the high-pressure water to prevent ingress from car washes, etc. Non-IP6K9K cameras have seen issues over time where water spray from the roadway ingresses the camera and in the winter freezes and makes its way into the camera.
We have a specific model for the exterior of a vehicle - XNV-6013M
