WHAT ARE NITS?

The unit of measurement that describes how bright a television, smartphone, computer monitor, laptop screen, or another type of display is. The higher the number of nits, the brighter the display.

 

WHY AN OUTDOOR RATED MONITOR FOR OUTSIDE?

Outdoor digital displays have to be able to withstand direct sunlight, extreme temperatures, heavy humidity, rain, snow, dust, dirt, wind, and vandalism.

 

WHAT DOES AN IP67 RATING MEAN?

IP stands for "Ingress Protection" and it's a guide how protected a product - such as a transducer - is from a solid or liquid entering the product.

Following the letters "IP" are typically 2 digits which indicate the level of protection of the product. The first digit indicates the level of protection a product has from a solid - i.e. a finger, screwdriver, or even dust. The second digit indicates the level of protection a product has from liquid intrusion in certain volumes, pressures, or temperature.

The "6" indicates the sensor is completely protected against solid objects from entering the sensor, including dust, while the "7" indicates the sensor can be completely submerged in 1 meter of water for up to 30 minutes before the moisture penetrates the housing.

Please refer to the chart below as a quick reference for understanding IP ratings.

WHY ARE OUTDOOR MONITORS MORE EXPENSIVE THAN INDOOR UNITS?

Outdoor televisions tend to be more expensive than indoor televisions because they are a lot more durable, bright, weatherproof/weather resistant and vandal proof components add extra cost to the monitors,
