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.
