Short Box Camera Housing For Arecont 10MP Camera

I looked into this once for Arecont cameras. First things first, the HSG1 is discontinued. The HSG2 replaced it, and it's smaller, about 12.5".

Second, none of the usual OEM housing makers have anything. There are some options online, but whether you're ok with that I don't know.

I once used Videolarm dome housings for a couple Arecont box cameras, but that turns into a larger package than you want, I think.

I wouldn't say too big, just bigger than I want it to be. It's also pretty darn expensive for such a basic need. What about the assertion that the window of the housing is optimized for up to 10MP cameras? I know lenses need a finer degree of engineering the higher the pixel count goes, but the window of the housing, too?

Undisclosed A... With 8 long years of deep involvement with literally thousands of Arecont cameras and installs (which even John won't dispute as hyperbole), the best and cheapest route to what you're looking for is here: IP66 Compact Pro

Videoloarm's old 8" housing was great. I sold out their inventory as a rep in 07' and they never brought it back so when I went to Arecont, I had to find better and cheaper routes than HSG1 (it was actually far worse pre-HSG1). The one above is made by two or three different Chinese manufacturer's and is easy enough to find with the right word combos into Google.

NOTE TO ALL DISTRIBUTORS READING THIS... Stock housings like this and your dealers will love you for it!

Thanks guys, I appreciate the info! I was trying to stay the traditional distributor route, but if they don't carry what I want, I gotta go elsewhere. And thankful for the feedback from someone who has actually used the housing with Arecont cameras.
