Oncam Grandeye launches the world’s first ExD-certified 360-Degree surveillance camera range

Tue, 27 Nov 2012 08:00:00 GMT
Oncam Grandeye, the award-winning industry leader in 360-degree technology that enables cameras with total situational awareness, today announced its launch of the world’s first explosion-proof camera system for 360-degree surveillance.

The Evolution ExD camera range has been designed specifically for operation in potentially explosive locations, as well as harsh and hazardous environmental conditions, such as on an oil rig or gas production facility.

For example, traditional surveillance cameras have been used on oil rigs for years, but they have never had 360-degree cameras enabling total situational awareness in hazardous areas. The challenge in providing the very best 360-degree imaging, has always been the design of the dome and Oncam Grandeye have taken the extra steps to ensure the dome matches the lens perfectly.

There are always risks associated with electrical devices because gases and sparks emitted on the rigs can trigger an...
