What is an explosion-proof dome camera?

Introduction

Explosion-proof dome cameras are critical in environments where safety and surveillance are paramount. These devices are designed to withstand extreme conditions, providing reliable security solutions in hazardous areas.

What is an Explosion-Proof Dome Camera?

An explosion-proof dome camera is a type of surveillance camera designed to operate safely in environments that are prone to hazardous conditions, such as oil refineries, chemical plants, and gas processing facilities. These cameras are encased in a durable housing that can withstand explosions and prevent external sparks from igniting volatile gases or dust.

Technical Specifications

Explosion-proof dome cameras typically feature robust specifications to ensure optimal performance in dangerous settings. Some common specifications include:

• Materials: Stainless steel or other corrosion-resistant materials.
• Temperature Range: Operational range from -40°C to +60°C.
• Certification: ATEX, IECEx, and UL certifications for use in explosive environments.
• Ingress Protection: IP66 or IP68 rating for dust and water resistance.
• Video Resolution: Up to 4K resolution for clear image capture.
• Lens Options: Varifocal lenses ranging from 2.8mm to 12mm.
