Explosion Protected Cameras : An Overview
Axis explosion-protected cameras are designed for hazardous environments where flammable gases, vapors, dust, or fibers may be present. They fall into two main categories:
-
Zone 1 / Division 1: Highest-risk areas where explosive atmospheres may be present continuously or frequently. These cameras are built with heavy-duty housings that prevent sparks or heat from escaping.
-
Zone 2 / Division 2: Lower-risk areas where hazardous substances are only present in abnormal conditions, such as storage spaces. These models use low-energy electronics to ensure they cannot ignite combustible materials.
All Axis explosion-protected cameras undergo strict testing and global certification to ensure safe operation in these environments. They provide excellent image quality, advanced analytics, and reliable performance even in extreme temperatures. Many models include Smoke Alert Analytics, thermal monitoring, and temperature alarms, making them valuable tools for safety, process monitoring, and risk reduction.
