Two models are available: the window version is suitable for sensor or board cameras with S mount lenses and maximum dimensions of 70 x 150 x 40 mm (W x L x H). Alternatively, users can choose an angular enclosure with a lens tube for sensor and board cameras with C mount lenses and measurements of up to 70 x 150 x 70 mm. Featuring a modular design, the enclosures can optionally also be made in special sizes.

A large M25 cable gland allows users to feed through several cables featuring connectors with a maximum diameter of 21 mm. A detachable lid with captive screws ensures easy access and makes it easy to adjust the camera. On request, autoVimation manufactures Chameleon enclosures with customer-specific colors or prints.
