AXIS Explosion-protected cameras

    A hazardous area is an area where flammable liquids, vapors, gases or combustible dusts will occasionally occur in quantities sufficient to cause a fire or explosion. Such areas can, for example, be found in oil refineries, gas pipelines and refueling stations, but also in hospital operating rooms, woodworking areas and places where grain is handled and stored, as well as chemical plants.

What is an explosion-protected camera?

Explosion-protected cameras are heavy-duty enclosures containing networked IP cameras. The explosion-protected camera housing prevents any inside sparks or explosions from escaping and igniting vapors, gases, dust or fibers in the surrounding air. The electropolished SS 316L stainless steel housings are manufactured and certified for hazardous areas by Eaton MEDC Ltd., and equipped with customized Axis network cameras. Depending on the country, different certification may apply as shown in the map. For a full list of certification, please download the camera specific datasheet.
