ProEnc weatherproof projector housing solutions.
ProEnc are the leading manufacturer of weatherproof projector housing which are used throughout the world in hostile environments to protect the hardware from damage from the weather and even theft.
Outdoor hazards for projectors.
Once of the main challenges home owners and audio visual installers have to overcome when putting a home cinema in the outdoors. Some locations have very cold weather; on the other hand they can be very hot too. Some locations are dusty for example when located near a beach. So all these natural hazards have to be overcome to ensure the home owner enjoys their new outdoor home cinema.
Now you have also to consider the human hazards, such as theft or vandalism, in most instances when a thief cannot steal the item, they will vandalise it, so no one can have it – this is the mentality of the thief.
So a solution is needed that will protect the projector from both the human and natural hazards and now ProEnc offer the only weatherproof projector housing that’s secure on the market.
Who deploys projectors outdoors?
As the cost of projectors fall, anyone can now deploy a projector outdoors; it was previously looked at with TV’s, now any home owner can have a massive screen by using their external garage wall as a screen or backdrop and a projector. No more will you have to huddle around the TV to see the picture, with the screen being as large as you want it using a projector.
So the answer to the question is, anyone can deploy a projector in their backyard.
ProEnc’s weatherproof projector housing.
Using ProEnc’s experience manufacturing outdoor housings to protect electronic devices, they decided to design and manufacture a solution that would protect projectors in all weathers and from all possible attacks. They consulted with several audio visual installers for their input and came up with a design that is unique as well as secure.
Dust protection.
The cooling and heating system are thermostatically controlled, and the cooling units have filters fitted as standard to eliminate dust ingress into the weatherproof projector housing. These filters can be washed in warm soapy water then left to dry, once dry they are ready to use again.
If dust entered the housing and got into the projector it could cause the projector’s motherboards to fail with a costly repair or replacement option!
Weatherproof protection.
The housings are NEMA 4X and IP65, so water ingress is reduced dramatically, keeping the hardware dry and in the right environment. The thermostatic heating and cooling system protect the internal hardware in temperatures as low as -40F and as high as 140F. The stats can be set for the specific location they are deployed in as we all know, 1 solution is not right for every application.
The ProEnc heating system prevents moisture or condensation build up in the housing, as any condensation would be attracted to the warm motherboard circuits and corrode the connections with the end result of the projector failing. We’ve heard of competitors telling customers they do not need these optional extras, this is why ProEnc includes them in the standard product! They are essential for protecting your hardware investment.
Security is the last thing to look at!
All ProEnc weatherproof projector housing solutions are made from steel and are locked with high security locks, not cam locks that are easily opened, these cam locks are used on every other housing out there and are the main security issue.
