Outdoor digital signage need not be in an obvious outside location, this is why an outdoor monitor enclosure is sometimes overlooked.
When people see they words outdoor digital signage, the instant thought that comes to the other persons mind is outdoors in a shopping mall, airport or train station, but sometimes humans mean other places rather than in the home, one example is in a cave.
Sounds mad but one successful organization has fitted digital outdoor signage in a cave in Spain, this is employed by schools on educational visits and the outdoor digital signage is interactive in some parts, depicting stick men and dinosaurs. But the real issue was that standard hardware could not deal with the harsh conditions in the cave, the constant damp atmosphere, this hindered the project for some time.
Then they found that by putting the outdoor digital signage into a monitor enclosure everything would be safe and secure.
What makes an LCD enclosure the ideal solution is that it is created from metal and the unit will accommodate a media player or small PC and the LCD or plasma panel. The inner temperature of the TV casing is maintained through a set of cooling and heating units that are thermostatically controlled, providing the equipment inside the steel case with the fortification essential from the harsh environment as well as any potential vandalism.
Just one thing to bear in mind if you are thinking of placing an outdoor digital signage system in a cave, is that due to the low light levels, you can definitely use general LCD and plasma televisions without any loss of quality. This is another good reason why an out of doors electronic marketing solution should be deployed in caves that are used for education and visitor centres.
The electronic signage solution can show educational information then interspersed with ads for the souvenir shop or the eaterie, it can also be used to communicate facts to a school party should someone go missing.
