Hikvision DS-1331HZ-C Outdoor Camera Housing with Built-In Fan IP67

Product SKU: DS-1331HZ-C

Product Overview

The Hikvision DS-1331HZ-C is an IP67 outdoor camera housing designed to protect compatible CCTV cameras while providing automatic fan-assisted temperature control for higher-temperature environments. Its aluminium-alloy body uses a glass viewing window, stainless-steel dual latches and a side-opening cover that simplifies camera installation and maintenance. The built-in fan automatically switches on at approximately 45°C ±5°C and off at approximately 35°C ±5°C, helping maintain stable conditions inside the housing across its stated -20°C to 60°C operating range. Powered from 12 VDC, the housing measures 455.3 × 169.2 × 110 mm and weighs approximately 1.9 kg. The DS-1331HZ-C is particularly useful where a suitable CCTV camera needs additional weather protection and active cooling in an exposed outdoor installation.

Key Capabilities

Best For

• Outdoor CCTV Installations: Suitable where a compatible camera requires an IP67-rated protective enclosure.
• Higher-Temperature Sites: The built-in fan and automatic temperature control help manage heat inside the housing.
• Commercial and Industrial Properties: Useful where conventional cameras need an additional weather-protected enclosure around the imaging equipment.
• Wall, Pole or Pendant Installations: Hikvision documentation shows compatible mounting options for several common installation styles.

Why Choose the DS-1331HZ-C

The DS-1331HZ-C is a practical choice when an otherwise suitable CCTV camera needs additional outdoor protection and active cooling. Unlike a basic passive enclosure, this model includes an automatically controlled fan that responds to rising internal temperature, helping maintain more stable operating conditions in warmer environments. Its IP67 rating, aluminium-alloy body, glass window and stainless-steel dual-latch arrangement provide a purpose-built protective enclosure rather than relying on a generic box. Available through Security Wholesalers, the DS-1331HZ-C is best specified after checking the physical size and electrical requirements of the camera being installed, as the housing itself does not determine camera compatibility.

Ideal Use Cases

Choosing the Right Model

• Choose this model if: Your compatible CCTV camera requires an IP67 outdoor enclosure with built-in fan cooling for operation in higher-temperature conditions.
• Choose a heated housing if: The installation must operate below the DS-1331HZ-C’s stated -20°C minimum or specifically requires an integrated heater.
• Choose the mounting bracket separately if: The housing needs wall, horizontal pole or pendant installation, as the required bracket depends on the mounting method.
• Check camera size before purchase if: You are fitting an existing camera into the housing, because physical fit and connector clearance must be confirmed separately.

FAQs

1. 1. What is the Hikvision DS-1331HZ-C used for?
      The Hikvision DS-1331HZ-C is an outdoor protective housing for compatible CCTV cameras. It provides an IP67-rated aluminium-alloy enclosure with a glass viewing window and an internal fan controlled by an automatic temperature system. It is intended for installations where a suitable camera needs additional environmental protection and cooling in higher-temperature outdoor conditions.
   2. Does the DS-1331HZ-C have a built-in fan?
      Yes. The DS-1331HZ-C includes a built-in fan and automatic temperature control. Hikvision specifies the fan to switch on at approximately 45°C ±5°C and switch off at approximately 35°C ±5°C. The fan consumes 4 W and is intended to help maintain stable operation when the housing is used in higher-temperature environments.
   3. What weather protection does the DS-1331HZ-C provide?
      The DS-1331HZ-C is rated IP67. It uses a stainless-steel dual-latch design and a glass front window within an aluminium-alloy body. This makes the housing suitable for compatible outdoor CCTV installations when it is installed correctly and the complete camera, cabling and mounting arrangement are protected in accordance with the site requirements.
   4. What power supply does the DS-1331HZ-C require?
      The DS-1331HZ-C operates from 12 VDC and Hikvision specifies a matching 12 VDC 2 A power pack. The built-in fan has a stated power consumption of 4 W. When selecting the housing through Security Wholesalers, the required power supply and the electrical requirements of the camera installed inside the housing should be planned as part of the complete system.
   5. What temperature range is the DS-1331HZ-C designed for?
      The DS-1331HZ-C has a stated working temperature range of -20°C to 60°C with humidity of 95% or less, non-condensing. Its fan is designed for higher-temperature operation, switching on at approximately 45°C ±5°C and off at approximately 35°C ±5°C. This model does not list a built-in heater, so cold-environment requirements should be checked separately.
   6. What are the dimensions and weight of the DS-1331HZ-C?
      The DS-1331HZ-C is specified at 455.3 mm × 169.2 mm × 110 mm and weighs approximately 1.9 kg. These measurements refer to the housing itself. The installation should also allow enough room for the selected mounting bracket, cabling and the compatible camera placed inside the housing.
   7. Which mounting brackets can be used with the DS-1331HZ-C?
      Hikvision documentation shows the DS-1331HZ-C with the DS-1293ZJ wall mount, DS-1214ZJ horizontal pole mount and DS-1269ZJ pendant mount. The required bracket depends on the installation method. Confirm the complete mounting combination, supporting structure and camera dimensions before installation rather than assuming that any generic CCTV bracket will fit.
