Axis Thermometric Camera

Axis Communications announces the world's first explosion-proof camera designed for Zone/Division 2 hazardous locations Axis Communications, a leader in network video, announced the AXIS P1468-XLE Explosion Proof Bullet Camera, the world's first explosion-proof camera designed specifically for Zone and Division 2 hazardous locations. The camera is designed for Zone 2, 22 and Class I/II/III Division 2 according to international standards (ATEX, IECEx, NEC).

The AXIS P1468-XLE uses the 'Ex e' protection method, an explosion protection approach referred to as 'enhanced safety' or 'fireproof'. This method ensures that arcing and sparking do not occur and extreme temperatures are not reached during normal operation of the electrical equipment. As a result, electrical equipment using 'Ex e' protection cannot ignite gas or dust in the surrounding potentially flammable environment. The AXIS P1468-XLE uses the 'Ex e' protection method, an explosion protection approach referred to as 'enhanced safety' or 'non-flammable'. This method ensures that arcing and sparking do not occur and extreme temperatures are not reached during normal operation of electrical equipment. As a result, electrical equipment using 'Ex e' protection cannot ignite gas or dust in the surrounding potentially flammable environment.

The AXIS P1468-XLE is a rugged, shockproof and weatherproof fixed camera that delivers excellent image quality in 4K resolution in all lighting conditions through Lightfinder 2.0, Forensic WDR and OptimizedIR. Compact and lightweight, the camera is as easy to install as a standard camera. The AXIS P1468-XLE is designed in accordance with North American and European directives for equipment intended for use in potentially explosive atmospheres. By design, the camera cannot provide enough energy to ignite gas or dust in the atmosphere to cause an explosion, thus eliminating the need for any traditional explosion-proof enclosure.

Multi-tasking cameras offer many benefits in health and safety applications and operational efficiency. Early detection of smoke and fire, ensuring personal protective equipment (PPE) is worn and used, and monitoring restricted areas provide organizations with significant health and safety benefits. In operational efficiency, the camera can be used for visual verification of various processes and as part of an advanced data-driven sensory network.
