Hi Greg, if you have a metal bodied camera, usually they're magnesium or other alloy, you can fashion an outboard Peltier and/or cooler. You just need to get a look at the inside of the camera to see if you have a good heat conduction path from the tripod socket to the sensor plate. The Nikon D800 and D810 are good candidates for it, but for instance the Nikon D600 is not. I think the canon EOS R SERIES use magnesium alloy bodies partly so you might be in luck. I like to look at disassemble videos or pictures from sites like fixmycamera or similar.

One important caveat would be not to cool too much,
certainly not lower than the dew point of the air in the camera otherwise condensation may result.

Best
