Dotworkz HD12

Core Chassis

IPI 66 Dust-Tight, Impact-Tough Broadcast Camera Enclosure

Dotworkz HD12 Core Chassis — Future-Proof Broadcast Camera Enclosure

Give your PTZ or long-lens box cam studio-grade armor without paying for weather-sealed bodies. The HD12 Core Chassis is an IP66 water-tight, impact-rated housing built for arenas, sound stages, convention halls, and other mild-climate venues.

(Built for studios, arenas, houses of worship, and any mild-climate venue where debris and bumps—not heat or cold—are the main threat.)

Why Crews Pick the Core Chassis

  • Lower Cost vs. Weather-Sealed Cameras

    Skip expensive factory-sealed bodies. Drop your preferred standard PTZ or long-lens box cam into the HD12 Core and get better protection for a fraction of the hardware price.

  • Future-Proof & Upgrade-Ready

    Interior rails, generous lens clearance, and oversized cable glands make camera swaps painless. When technology jumps—from 1080p to 4K, SDI to IP—just unlock the hatch, slide the new rig in, and you’re live again in minutes.

  • Broadcast-Size Interior

    Fits full-frame PTZs or box cams plus wireless TX, power bricks, or SDI/Fiber converters—no cramming or cable kinks.

  • Dust & Impact Armor

    IP66-sealed, high-impact thermoplastic shell shakes off forklift dings, rigging knocks, and airborne dust—keeping optics spotless and feeds uninterrupted.

  • Zero Climate Overhead

    Ships without heaters or coolers, trimming weight, power draw, and budget while still delivering rock-solid protection in mild environments.

  • Fast, Tool-Free Access

    Quick-latch front hatch lets techs swap cameras or cables in seconds—no tiny screws to drop, no show-day delays.

  • Expandable Protection

    Need weather hardening later? Bolt on Dotworkz Heater-Blower or CoolDome™ kits later—no new housing required.

Can't believe the temperature difference!
This cooldome as you call it is truly incredible. We installed this housing in a spot that hit 120 degrees F. We checked the temp inside the camera housing and it was only 80 degrees F. This PTZ camera housing is so freaking cool. I couldn't believe the temperature difference until I saw it. Simply amazing.

Works great!
It does a fantastic job cleaning the lenses. Super easy to use and surprisingly very lightweight. I use this on several jobs inside and out and it's so nice not to have bring a ladder, bucket, and what not. The cleaning kit and cleaning solution is all I need now. So nice.

Best and Easiest Dome Cleaning Tool Ever!!
I was a little skeptical at first but this kit is so easy to setup and use that I bought 3 more. I've saved my staff so much time using these DomeWizard kits. My staff especially loves that they don't have to use the cherry picker anymore. I highly recommend this kit.

Technical help on purchase
The pinout for the power cable I ordered seemed confusing. When I called technical support, I was put in touch with the engineer who designed the cable, and he was quickly able to give me the proper information.
