Atex Certified hazardous area explosion proof CCTV Camera

Taking effect in 2006 the ATEX regulations are aimed at protecting employees from explosion risk in hazardous areas. Split into two directives, ATEX95 regulates equipment intended for use in potentially explosive environments.
To meet these specifications, A new CCTV camera has been manufacured to Zone 1 ATEX certification. We have two type available that can be supplied housed in an intrinsically safe enclosure, allowing them to be located in hazardous environments. This can dramatically reduce dangers posed to employees, whilst remote access cuts down on unnecessary site visits to difficult to reach areas. Cameras are also available with optional lighting, meaning even the darkest area or chamber can be viewed at any time.

The ATEX housed intrinsically safe IP camera is ideal for areas where image resolution is key. Using the dual lens camera optics, 3 Megapixel image sensor and the optional inbuilt lighting unit even the darkest area can be monitored. A choice of lenses are available, ranging from telephoto, monitoring selected areas, to wide angle, giving a wider overview. Black and white monitoring for night viewing is also available (1 Megapixel only). The camera utilises power over Ethernet for ease of installation and operation
