All cameras meet strict safety and certification standards for use in hazardous locations.
In hazardous areas where flammable gases, vapors, or dust are present, using electrical equipment can be dangerous, as even a tiny spark can trigger an explosion. Without proper precautions, a camera can become the origin of an explosion. Explosion-proof cameras are intrinsically safe, meaning they are specifically designed to prevent becoming an ignition source. They are encased in protective housings that prevent any sparks, heat, or electrical malfunctions from escaping and igniting flammable materials in the surrounding environment.
Explosion-proof cameras work by containing ignition hazards and stopping them from spreading to the external atmosphere. If the camera or its electrical components generate sparks, excessive heat, or flames, the specialized housing keeps these hazards sealed inside. This ensures that they cannot come into contact with flammable substances in the surrounding area, reducing the risk of igniting an explosion.
Any hazardous location with flammable gases, vapors, or combustible dust may need explosion-proof cameras, including:
Explosion-proof cameras have several key features to ensure safe operation in hazardous zones:
Yes. Explosion-proof housings are protective enclosures that surround regular cameras, making them safe to use in hazardous areas. Explosion-proof cameras are cameras that come with the explosion-proof housing already included. Essentially, an explosion-proof camera includes both the camera and housing, while explosion-proof housings are standalone cases that require a regular camera to be placed inside.
If your location contains flammable gases, vapors, combustible dust, or fibers, it is considered a hazardous area. Explosion-proof cameras are necessary in these environments to prevent a fire or explosion from happening. The specific requirements that electrical equipment must meet will depend on your site’s classification, such as the ATEX zone or local standards like OSHA or NEC.
Yes, explosion-proof cameras should be certified to meet safety standards for hazardous areas, such as ATEX (for Europe), UL (for the U.S.), or IECEx. These certifications ensure that the camera and its housing have undergone rigorous testing and meet the necessary safety requirements.
Yes! If you have a specific camera model that needs explosion-proof protection, we can create a custom housing for it, even if it’s from another brand. This means you don’t have to purchase and install an entirely new camera. Or, if you’ve been unable to find an explosion-proof camera with all the features you need, you don’t have to settle. Instead, you can use your preferred camera and make it explosion-proof. We ensure the housing fits your camera’s exact dimensions, includes any special features you might need (like a heater, cooler, sunshade, or wiper), and complies with all safety standards for hazardous areas classified as Class I, Div 1/2.
