Ring of Fire

Ring of Fire is built for extremely cold climates like the Arctic and mountainous regions. Each product can protect your camera and equipment from temperatures plummeting to -60°F (-51°C) and provides 65 watts of de-icing power.

The Dotworkz environmental housing brings unsurpassed protection to surveillance cameras from harsh outdoor environments, vandalism and physical damage. The Dotworkz Ring of Fire interior heated system will prevent cameras from freezing in climates down to -60°F (-51°C).

Unlike traditional heated enclosures that normally fog up or ice over, the Ring of Fire features patented de-icing/defrosting circuitry that removes snow and ice that would obstruct the camera’s view. Plus, the Ring of Fire housing seals out all moisture, preventing lens condensation and fogging.

By keeping cameras within their safe operating temperatures, the Ring of Fire extends camera life, allows full mobility of PTZ functions, and reduces cold weather maintenance. In addition, the thermostatically controlled heating system with self-contained power supply can be customized for specialized environmental and equipment needs.

All housings are fully sealed and rated at IP68 (D Series) and IP66 (S-Type) providing protection from dust and water. We chose Polycarbonate Thermal Plastic for its non-conductive thermal properties and its unsurpassed strength providing the ultimate isolated protection against vandalism and temperature changes. Think of this enclosure like an ice chest for soft drinks at a BBQ. It keeps the heat out and protects the contents inside only our products are about 100 times stronger.

Polycarbonate Thermal Plastic also blocks the majority of heat trying to enter the enclosure. The insulated reflective padding has a 2 part temperature defense system that slows the remaining heat trying to enter (as seen on the COOLDOME™, Tornado, and Heater & Blower models) providing greater protection against temperature change from within the enclosure allowing your equipment to operate at its desired temperature with no dictation from the weather outside the enclosure.

Dotworkz offers three main temperature regulation options. Active cooling (COOLDOME™) removes heat generated by equipment, extending camera life in hot climates such as Las Vegas, Phoenix, and New York in the summer. Heater/Blower systems (Heater & Blower, Ring of Fire) use thermostatic control for ultimate climate regulation. Heater & Blower is ideal for typical city climates like Chicago and Miami, while Ring of Fire excels in frigid areas like Anchorage, North Dakota, and even the poles. Passive cooling (BASH) uses thermal conductive material to transfer heat without extra power, efficiently cooling equipment from the outside air.

Providing consistent climate control assures peak performance of cameras in harsh weather conditions. The Ring of Fire is an essential solution for cameras installed at ski resorts, government facilities, northern border crossings, cell towers and other outdoor applications in cold regions.
