Subj : Outdoor Camera Question

Hi Folks!

Having a problem with a 'security' camera  -- maybe 'surveillance' or
'monitoring' might be better.  Anyway, the cameras I'm currently using
don't like the heat of the Storage Area (essentially attic).  Both cameras
are identical models.  Both start to freeze/fail around an outdoor
temperature of 80øF or about 103øF when measured via a non-contact
thermometee about 10 feet away.  I have the red pointer on the camera's
case but of course the further away the greater the measurement area.

Currently using  SV-USBFHD06H-BL36.  The working temperature is -10øC to
70øC = 14øF to 158øF (storage -20øC - 85øC).  Admittedly my way of
measuring the temperature from ten feet away isn't all that accurate but
doesn't seem like I should be forty-fifty degrees off.  And it's with
both cameras; one consistently fails and takes longer to recover than
the other, so not just one bad camera.

So any suggestions on how to cool the cameras off?  Or reasonably-priced
replacements 'guaranteed' to work. 

Needs:
       Heat-tolerance
       IR -- longer distance (70+ feet preferably)
         and/or
       Low-lux  (current cameras are rated 0.01 lux)
       USB -- don't want to go through a 3rd party site and the current
              system is USB input.

Just thought of something: both cameras require a USB extension cable to
finish the connection.  Is it possible for the camera cable/extension
cable connection to open or otherwise fail with hundred degree heat?

TIA!
