Anyone have experience of leaving Dome PTZ on 24/7 tour?

Any reliability problems.?

Any manufactures say this should not be done?

all

Not set up many like this but

4 x 360 vision domes work fine on tour 24/7

2 x Dynamic domes fine

and 1 COP dome worked for about 2 weeks and burnt out! and was replaced with a higher end dome and is working fine.

I would advise that you use a decent dome for the job.

I have installed many VCL/Honeywell Orbiter Golds

Never had any problems yet.

But like Scottish Engineer says. High end domes

Unofficially, Pelco says that dome (ie, mechanical) life is effectively halved on their Spectra I/II/III's. Unsure about spectra IV's or mini.

Tried once getting this in writing from them but to no avail.

Weve got 2 Spectra II or III's on tour, they have been for the last 4 years and the only problem we find is when theres a power cut one of em (mounted on a tree of all places) it sometimes doesnt self test properly and stays out of focus. As for the tree bit all I'll say is I didnt do it and I once nearly dropped it as its a bugger to get to

As I said I didnt do it if I had my way the tree would be down lol
