The challenge of reliably and economically providing electrical current to video security cameras is now easier with the Videolarm Outdoor Rugged Power Boxes, the PB24 Series. Outdoor rated with UL approved power supply, the PB24 Series features vandal resistant construction and includes a swinging door to simplify servicing and installation.
Incorporating a vandal-resistant design, the rugged cast aluminum NEMA 4 box enclosure meets IP 66 standards to prevent the induction of minute particles. The PB24 Outdoor Power Box series mounts directly to Videolarm’s Fusion Dome (FDW housings), Vandal-Resistant housings (RHW housings), and Environmental Housing with WM1500 bracket.
Videolarm Power Boxes are available in seven models:

Complete with 128-bit encryption for secure data transmission, the wireless Power Boxes have a line-of-site transmissions distance of up to eight miles.

"Videolarm Power Boxes deliver strong performance along with versatility to meet any surveillance challenge – from the very basic to the most sophisticated functionality, with the freedom of wireless connectivity," said Ray Pagano, Videolarm president. "This is serious equipment that is expressly designed to be easy to install, manage and maintain and available at a price point that is approachable for surveillance scopes of all sizes and complexities."
Pagano added, "A key benefit of the IP Reset devices is the significant savings it provides. Service calls are virtually eliminated which saves money, and time that was previously spent resetting cameras can be refocused to other tasks. Additionally, downtime and lost surveillance video can now be a thing of the past, a desired goal for any organization."
