the cabinet door at 105°. The cabinet is also designed
with pre-mounted DIN rails to make it easy to connect
components.
Vandal-resistant to withstand adversities
The polycarbonate cabinet is IP66-rated for protection

windblown dust, salt spray, rain, hose-directed water,
and damage from external ice formation. It provides
also IK10-rated material for protection against impact
and vandalism. The surveillance cabinets support
vibration rating 4M4 and 4M3 (AXIS T98A18-VE).
Separated compartments to enhance
security
For better installation and improve cost efficiency, the
inner compartment with a DIN rail can be split into two
sections: one to fit mains power units and a second
for low-voltage units that do not require installation
by a certified electrician. An optional electrical safety
kit is available, which includes surge protection, a fuse
and an alarm-door switch to detect cabinet intrusion
or damage.
