One of the worst incidents to happen to any dynamic advertising hardware is for the display to fail; this costs businesses a lot of cash to rectify and lost revenue due to the down time, so what can be done to protect the plasma screen? There are several options, the first is to protect the monitor from any potential risk of damage by vandals, then you have to think of the weather - this natural element can put an end to any external dynamic signage project overnight.
Weatherproof TV or LCD display Enclosure? Some businesses only deploy outdoor weatherproof monitors; these also have to sunlight readable, so the TV can be seen even in direct sunlight.
The only problem with these units is that they are very expensive to install and if anything happens to the panel the entire unit has to be substituted adding extra cost to a project.
A more cost effective solution is the LCD display enclosure, this is a purpose manufactured solid steel LCD enclosure, that offers both vandal and weather proof protection for the hardware housed inside.
The protective case will accommodate an LCD or plasma display along with a media player or small factor PC, ideal for either outdoor dynamic advertising or factory information systems.
Cable access is through water proof cable glands that protect to IP65 and NEMA 4X ensuring no water enters the enclosure during its operation.
These units are more flexible than a weather proof television, as they enable integrators to put electronic signage in unusual places, areas where previously ruled out due to the potential vandal risk and the extreme weather conditions they would encounter.
These flat panel enclosures now allow a display to be installed in any location from the mall car park, college campus to ferry ports, proving digital signage will be every where - so get ready for the invasion.
