From airports, train stations and ferry ports, they are all using electronic advertising for passenger information and advertising, now the education facilities are getting in on the act.

Digital outdoor signage.
When a flat panel television is utilized in some form of advertising intent connected to a laptop or computer that supplies the data, this is the explanation of digital signage. The idea is that the dynamic advertising connect to the customer and influences their buying selection.Typically in this application the hardware is postioned on a wall high up so normal digital signage enclosures can be utilised in this application these are locked with typical cam locks and have a viewing window of 1/4” (6 mm thick).

Head height digital signage
As the name says, it is all about being head and at eye level, comparable to the general outdoor digital signage that is ordinarily based higher up on walls, this eliminates the buyers straining their neck looking up at the advertisings.

These digital signage cases are designed from thicker metal, the viewing screen should be designed out of thicker material (usually 3/8” or 10 mm thick), and the access doors are equipped with high security locks to keep anyone with out authority entering the housing and either taking or braking the digital signage hardware. These extra security measures are crucial if the hardware is to be guarded 24×7, due to the units being at an without difficulty accessed height.

As well as the digital signage cases being more robust, even the internal flat TV mount inside has special anti theft bolts to stop anyone from thieving it, as a special tool is needed to un tighten the bolts that secure the arms in place on the frame.

Outdoor TV in your backyard.
These protective cases have the same high security as the digital signage enclosures at eye level due to the being vacant for most of the day while the home owners are at work, whilst we are at work or on vacation, giving any opportunist thief an chance to come and steal your much valued outdoor TV.

Transportation hubs.
These different kinds of casings are used in many places from airports on airside, to inside the airport terminal, they are also used in train and bus stations, but usually these are positioned high up out of everyone’s reach, so the first solution is the most affordable.

Campus digital signage.
Most schools, colleges and universities have data to showcase and get to every student on the campus, this is why a digital signage network is crucial in education, but imagine how much deterioration would arise if these flat panel displays where not guarded from the odd thrown item, as we all know boys will be boys.

Now here is where the second solution would be best integrated as this would definitely provide security on the investment whilst the displays are in full view of the students at eye level.

Factory and beach applications.
Here any digital signage enclosures have to be constructed out of stainless steel material, as the raw material originally more high-priced than the regular digital signage enclosures but will last in high salt areas and when there is water present in the immediate vicinity.

Over the past 20 years the author has developed a range of outdoor digital signage protective enclosures and founded LCD Enclosure Global who are the leading manufacturer of LCD monitor enclosures, they also offer anti vandal LCD enclosures that provides all the protection and security needed for outdoor use.
