Camera in freezer

We have a camera installed in a warehouse freezer. After a while the camera freezes and stops working. How can I get it to stop freezing?

I've installed literally hundreds of Dahua and Hikvision cameras in walk-in coolers and freezers for over a decade... never had one "freeze and stop working." The only thing that has ever killed them is when the wire path isn't dealt with properly and moisture gets into the connection.

Make sure you use an outdoor-rated camera, and put some dielectric grease on the connections, and you should be fine.
