Axis announces explosion-protected cameras, for sensitive industrial use
April 2017 by Emmanuelle Lamandé
Axis Communications has announced three new
explosion-protected cameras for use in sensitive industrial areas: XF40-Q2901
Explosion-Protected Temperature Alarm Camera, XF60-Q2901 Explosion-Protected
Temperature Alarm Camera, and XP40-Q1942 Explosion-Protected PT Thermal Network Camera.
Typical industrial applications for the fixed XF40-Q2901/XF60-Q2901
Explosion-Protected Temperature Alarm Cameras include control and detection of
temperatures of equipment and leaks in pipes, fire detection, and monitoring of
equipment and perimeter protection. Moreover, they help visually inspecting and
verifying functions and processes are running correctly, and even providing remote
assistance with planned maintenance.
Typical applications for the pan/tilt XP40-Q1942 Explosion-Protected PT Thermal
Network Camera include detection of people in restricted areas and safety of
personnel in hazardous areas. In addition, XP40-Q1942 supports Electronic image
stabilization and Zipstream technologies by Axis. The first greatly improves video
quality in situations where a camera is subject to vibrations, providing smooth and
comfortable live viewing. The second lowers the bandwidth and storage requirements
and yet maintaining an outstanding thermal imaging.
Axis explosion-protected thermal cameras and temperature alarm cameras offer
worldwide certifications, meaning that the cameras are compliant with specific
country regulations across the globe.
The new explosion-protected cameras will be available through Axis’ distribution
channels in May 2017.
