Marshall Compact Weatherproof Camera Housing with Fan & Heater
Experience unmatched protection for your surveillance setup with the Marshall Compact Weatherproof Camera Housing with Fan & Heater. Engineered for harsh outdoor environments, this rugged enclosure combines industrial-grade durability with smart thermal management to keep cameras operating reliably in extreme temperatures and challenging conditions. The compact design fits Marshall’s own line of Compact cameras, delivering a seamless blend of protection and performance without compromising image quality or accessibility. From rain-soaked rooftops to dusty industrial yards, this housing stands up to the elements while preserving the clarity and reliability your security system demands.
- Maximum weather protection with IP68 rating. The enclosure is designed for dust-tight, water-resistant performance, providing a robust barrier against rain, snow, and ground-level moisture. With IP68 weatherproofing, you can deploy it in exposed outdoor locations with confidence, knowing that your camera gear remains shielded from the elements. This means less downtime for maintenance and more consistent video capture, day or night, in even the harshest conditions. The housing seals and gaskets are engineered to maintain performance over years of use, reducing the need for frequent replacements and repairs.
- Vandal-resistant build for added security (IK10). Built to deter tampering and abuse, the enclosure carries IK10 vandal-proof compliance, making it an ideal choice for high-traffic or unsecured sites. The die-cast aluminum body adds rigidity and resilience, resisting impact while maintaining a lightweight profile for easier installation. This combination ensures your camera remains protected from deliberate damage and environmental hazards alike, preserving critical surveillance coverage where it matters most.
- Advanced thermal management with integrated heater and fan. The built-in heater and fan deliver reliable thermal control to prevent condensation and fog on the lens, ensuring crisp, clear imagery in cold weather and extreme temperatures. The heater is designed to keep the camera within optimal operating ranges, while the fan promotes consistent airflow to prevent overheating or moisture buildup in hot weather. This proactive climate management is essential for maintaining long-term performance and extending the life of sensitive camera electronics.
- Sun-hood included for glare reduction and enhanced image quality. An attachable sun-hood helps minimize glare from bright sunlight, reflections, and direct solar exposure. By shielding the lens and housing from harsh light, the sun-hood supports better daytime imaging, reduces backlighting issues, and helps technicians position the camera for optimal framing. The sun-hood also adds an extra layer of protection against environmental debris, keeping the lens aperture clean and effective in variable weather.
- Versatile, ready-to-install design compatible with Marshall Compact cameras. This weatherproof enclosure is purpose-built to accommodate the Marshall Compact camera series, providing a secure housing solution that preserves access to essential controls and interfaces. The die-cast aluminum construction, integrated mounting arm, and thoughtfully engineered cable entries make installation straightforward for installers and DIY enthusiasts alike. Once mounted, you can rely on a durable, maintenance-friendly housing that supports dependable, continuous surveillance without constant adjustments or replacements.

How to Install Marshall Compact Weatherproof Camera Housing with Fan & Heater
Installing this weatherproof enclosure is designed to be straightforward, even for multiple-site deployments. Follow these general steps to ensure a secure, weather-ready setup that preserves camera performance and longevity:
- Plan the installation location, ensuring a solid mounting surface and an accessible power source for the heater and fan. Verify that the site offers a clear field of view for the camera and that cabling routes will remain weatherproof after enclosure assembly.
- Mount the enclosure using the provided mounting arm and hardware. Align the enclosure so the camera lens has an unobstructed view and the sun-hood, if used, is oriented to reduce glare while preserving effective weather protection.
- Route all cables through the weatherproof gland or feed-throughs, sealing penetrations to maintain IP68 protection. Connect the camera data and power lines to the appropriate interfaces inside the housing, following the camera manufacturer’s wiring guidelines and local electrical codes.
- Install the Marshall Compact camera inside the housing, securing it firmly to the mounting points. Verify that all connectors are accessible and that any required adjustments to the lens or focal length can be achieved without removing the camera from the enclosure.
- Attach the sun-hood if desired, close the enclosure, and perform a functional test. Power up the unit and confirm that the built-in heater and fan operate as intended, and check for proper lens clarity and image focus. Finally, run a field test to ensure the camera delivers the expected coverage and that the enclosure maintains stable temperature and moisture control in the ambient environment.
