Anti-corrosion cameras for the coast

By the beach, a regular camera rusts within months. These are built to withstand salt, humidity and sun.

The problem

Why cameras fail near the sea

Sea breeze carries salt that sticks to everything. With humidity it turns corrosive and attacks metal, even on cameras labeled "outdoor".

  1. Screws and mounts rust

    Rust loosens the camera, throws it out of alignment and eventually breaks the mount.

  2. Connectors fail

    Salt gets into the connections and the camera shuts down or drops video without warning.

  3. Warranty doesn't cover corrosion

    Almost no manufacturer covers salt damage on a regular camera.

  • C5Top-level anti-corrosion
  • NEMA 4XCorrosion resistant
  • IP68Water and dust proof
  • 316LMarine-grade steel

What to look for

What each rating means

How to read an anti-corrosion camera's spec sheet, in plain words.

Anti-corrosion polymer (PA)
Engineering plastic housing: it doesn't rust, weighs less and stays cooler in the sun.
304 / 316L stainless steel
Metal that resists salt. 316L is marine grade, the toughest.
C5 class
International rating (ISO 12944) for environments with very high corrosivity.
NEMA 4X
Protection against rain, hose-directed water and corrosion.
IP67 / IP68
Dust-tight and waterproof; IP68 even withstands immersion.

The line

Anti-corrosion cameras

Bullets, domes and PTZs for beach houses, hotels, marinas and coastal businesses.

Don't forget the junction box

It shields the camera's cables and connectors from salt. Without it, the connection is the first thing to fail.

Questions

About the anti-corrosion line

How close to the sea do I need an anti-corrosion camera?

If you're within about 5 km of the coast or can feel the salty breeze, it's worth it. On the beachfront it's a must.

What's the difference between polymer and stainless steel?

Both resist salt. Polymer is lighter and more affordable; stainless steel is sturdier and handles impacts and industrial settings.

Do they show color at night?

Models labeled ColorVu or Dual Light turn on a white light and record in color in the dark; the rest use black-and-white infrared.

Do they work with any recorder?

They are ONVIF-compatible IP cameras: they work with Hikvision recorders and most NVRs on the market.
