"With the new explosion protected network cameras we are offering plant managers in the oil, gas, chemical processing, paper and textile industries a powerful video surveillance monitoring solution for hazardous areas," says Erik Frännlid, Director of Product Management, Axis Communications.
The cameras are designed not to cause an explosion. Their housings prevent any inside spark or explosion from escaping and igniting gases or dust in the surrounding air. The cameras can also be equipped with certified, explosion protected accessories, such as wall mounts, pole top brackets and a pressurized washer tank.
They provide superb image quality and color fidelity, as well as flexible integration with other equipment, such as access control and fire alarms. They offer flexible remote accessibility, using any existing IP-based networks. XP40-Q1765 also offers continuous 360° pan-tilt.
The cameras are supported by numerous video management software such as the Axis application development partner program, and AXIS camera station. The cameras also include support for AXIS camera application platform and ONVIF for easy camera system integration and for application developers to provide the camera with intelligent capabilities.
XF40-Q1765 and XP40-Q1765 for hazardous areas complement Axis' wide range of network cameras for use in safe areas. The explosion protected network cameras and their accessories are planned to be available in Q4 2015 through Axis distribution.
