I know as I stated above we tested a lot of different video cameras. They were tested in heat, steam, and dust to monitor some of the equipment at the plant. Most cameras died within three months! A few made it to 6 months, but, the panasonic that was used here a year later and was still running. That convinced me that for my money I would stick with the panasonic ones. The camera was taken down so as to fix a more permanent lense to monitor the things needed. To date 8 monitors were installed all under these conditions with one having rain water dripping on it from a leaky roof. All cameras that are there are all panasonic. So that I will leave up to you to decide on, good luck!
