When a client reached out to us with the need to implement an advanced video surveillance system, we knew a standard industrial PC wouldn’t be enough.
The project was anything but simple: it required reliable, rugged solutions with precise technical specifications to ensure top performance in a demanding environment like video surveillance.
On top of that, the industrial PCs needed specific features, which meant they had to be customized based on the company’s unique requirements.
And let’s be honest: not all industrial PC suppliers are equipped to deliver tailor-made solutions… far from it.
Most of them will show you the usual catalog, full of standard industrial PCs — all looking the same and offering the exact same specs.
But that’s not what our client needed (by the way, this is a long-standing client who has trusted us for years).
No — our client needed custom, made-to-measure industrial PCs, built around their specific needs.
And that’s exactly what we delivered.
The solution: Custom Kimera Rack PCs
To meet the client’s needs, we built 11 Kimera Rack industrial PCs, each custom-configured with specific features:
- Dual LAN ports, to ensure a stable and redundant connection for video data transmission;
- COM ports and dual serial ports on selected models, to allow integration with specific security system devices;
- High reliability and durability, essential for continuous, uninterrupted operation.
The model selected for our client is the Kimera Rack RK15 – 831 industrial PC, customized with the specifications mentioned above.
You can see it here, along with the other 10 units.

Thanks to this configuration, the client received rackmount industrial PCs perfectly suited to implementing a high-performance and secure video surveillance infrastructure.
But what features must an industrial PC have to be suitable for video surveillance?
Industrial Rackmount PC for Video Surveillance: What Features Should It Have?
To be suitable for an environment like video surveillance, an industrial PC must have the following essential features:
- It must be a rackmount industrial PC: this is because it is intended to be installed within rack cabinets.
- It must have a robust structure, typically made of metal, compatible with existing infrastructure.
- It must be resistant to dust, vibrations, and extreme temperatures.
- It must have an optimized ventilation system to effectively dissipate heat in tight spaces.
- 24/7 operation: it must be designed to operate continuously, even in harsh environments.
- Advanced connectivity: multiple LAN ports for network redundancy and serial connections to integrate external devices.
- High processing power: to handle real-time video streams and ensure rapid image analysis.
- Low maintenance: it must be built with durable components to minimize technical interventions.
Thanks to the customization of the Kimera Rack, our client received an optimized solution for their video surveillance system.
This project demonstrates how a tailor-made configuration can make a difference in fields where reliability and performance are essential.
Not to mention, we managed to deliver all 11 PCs to our client within a month!
