Why Ordinary Cameras Fail in Hazardous Environments
Imagine working on an offshore rig where a single spark can ignite a flammable atmosphere. Now imagine relying on a standard CCTV camera that isnât built for those conditions. Risky, right? Thatâs exactly why explosion proof cameras exist.
Ordinary cameras do fine in malls, offices, and retail outlets. But drop them into a petrochemical plant security setup or refinery safety system, and theyâll fail.
Why?
They lack ATEX complianceârequired for UK hazardous areas under HSE and ATEX cameras for DSEAR compliance
They canât handle saltwater corrosion, refinery heat, or mining dust.
They demand frequent maintenance, which is costly in Zone 1 and Zone 2 CCTV camera areas.
Now enter SharpEagleâs explosion proof CCTV:
Rugged stainless-steel body (assist protection).
Certified to prevent ignition sources.
Crystal-clear imaging even in poor visibility.
Designed for oil and gas safety cameras and offshore rig monitoring.
Closing Note: Hazardous zones donât forgive mistakes. Intrinsically safe cameras arenât just about complianceâtheyâre about protecting lives.
