In this Engineers' Insight, Jerry Moss examines the cabinets and components designed to guard outdoor systems against vandals and thieves.
| Protecting outdoor electronics against vandals Electronics used in outdoor locations have to contend with harsh weather conditions, including direct sunlight, rain, ice, and even earthquakes. But that’s not the whole story. A significant threat is posed by humans with less than honourable intentions, including vandals and thieves. This applies to infrastructure as well as systems that are used by the general public, such as kiosks, ticket machines and lifts.
In the last Engineers' Insight of the year Jerry Moss examines the cabinets and electronic components designed not only to withstand the harsh environmental conditions faced by outdoor infrastructure systems, but also dissuade vandals and guard against thieves.
