The Advanced Marine Protection (Marine-X) from Redvision was developed specifically for an application requiring multiple cameras to be deployed on a Nigerian off-shore oil rig. The challenging weather conditions ranged from extreme heat to gale force, driving sea storms. The physical requirements of the camera were hugely challenging, above all, the key requirement was reliability and endurance in a salt water environment.
High performance Marine finish
The Extra Marine finish X-SERIES and accessories have a corrosion resistant hard anodize plated finish. All steel accessories are treated with bright zinc protective finish. Stage one: the raw die-cast housing is treated with a protective barrier primer designed to give enhanced corrosion resistance of aluminum and mild steel. Stage two: Dual paint (undercoat & top coat) from Interpon is applied. Interpon gloss finish is an ultra-durable gloss coating conforming to EN 12206 & EN 13438 (High Durability Systems).
The Extra Marine X-SERIES is white to reflect sunlight (other colors available). The combination of using ultra durable white paint finish and the dome top cover, which acts as a sunshield, helps to reduce extremes of temperature in direct sunlight. Conversely, if using the dome cover this also provides a level of insulation in cold environments and additional protection to the mechanism in marine applications. All pan, tilt and wiper mechanisms are made from marine-grade stainless steel for increased corrosion resistance, toughness and durability.
Marine-X PTZ and dome cameras have also been deployed in coastal town centers, sea ports, marinas and shipping vessels both in the UK and overseas.
