Abstract
An enclosure for an outdoor smart camera includes an environmentally sealed main housing with a core formed by a hollow heatsink. The heatsink runs through the interior of the housing with openings on either end of the heatsink to allow airflow. Heat emitting electronics inside the sealed main housing are mounted directly to the heatsink to conduct the heat passively through the heatsink to the external environment. The heatsink and main housing can be cut to any desired length to adjust the size of the enclosure and accommodate variable size and quantity of internal components. Mounting slots are included for mounting the enclosure easily to poles and other structures.
