Camera Cover for Rugged Headsets – Sealed Port Cover for Camera-Free Sites

Headset camera port cover: overview

This camera cover replaces the camera module on the rugged assisted reality headset (RealWear Navigator 520) for sites where cameras are not permitted, such as secure facilities and some cleanrooms.

It seals the open port against dust and dirt while keeping the device's IP66 rating, so the headset stays rugged without its camera.

It is reusable, so you no longer need to keep buying masking stickers to cover the lens.

Who the headset camera port cover is for

Secure facilities, labs, defence and privacy-sensitive sites with no-camera policies.

• Defence and secure sites
• Pharmaceutical and R&D facilities
• Data centres
• Sites with strict privacy rules
• Fleets moving between camera-allowed and camera-free sites

Choosing the right accessories

For the rugged headsets (Navigator 520 and Z1), choose a mount that matches your site rules: brand-specific hard hat clips give the firmest fit on MSA, Honeywell, Petzl, 3M and Japanese helmets; the universal hard hat band fits most other front-brim hard hats; the Workband 2, Tri-Band Strap and Overhead Band are for use without a hard hat or under a bump cap; and the ball cap suits outdoor, light-duty work.

For power, the Navigator 520 uses hot-swappable 2600 mAh batteries: pair spares with the single-bay charger and a Quick Charge 3.0 USB-A adapter. The lightweight headband model (Arc 3) charges over USB-C or on its desk/wall charging station, powered by a USB-C Power Delivery adapter.

For connectivity and sensing, the Mini LTE Modem adds 4G where there is no Wi-Fi, and the thermal camera module adds FLIR thermal imaging to the Navigator 520. Remember that only certified accessories keep the Navigator Z1 intrinsically safe.

Setup and use

1. Power off the headset.
2. Remove the camera module following the manufacturer's instructions and store it safely.
3. Fit the port cover and make sure it seats fully to keep the seal.
4. Reverse the process to reinstall the camera.

Care and maintenance

Wipe it with a soft, slightly damp cloth, keep it away from solvents and excessive heat, and inspect it regularly for wear. Replace it as soon as it no longer holds or protects as it should.
