Axis Communications has introduced its first explosion protected network cameras. XF40-Q1765 and XP40-Q1765 cameras both feature a 316L stainless steel housing certified for hazardous areas according to amongst others ATEX, IECEx, cLCus and Class I, II/Div 1 for OSHA.
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 pressurised washer tank.
They provide excellent image quality and colour fidelity, as well as a high level of 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.
XF40-Q1765 and XP40-Q1765 for hazardous areas complement Axis’ wide range of network cameras for use in safe areas. They are ideally suited for video surveillance monitoring of onshore, offshore, marine, and heavy industrial environments, such as the oil and gas industry, as well as dusty environments, such as paper and textile industries.
