Does anyone have experience with and recommendations for a good quality, explosion-protected panoramic camera? I need it to be IP and preferably PoE. Most manufacturers I've seen in my search so far who offer explosion-protected cameras, don't offer a panoramic. The most reputable looking option out of a couple of brands I've seen online so far is the Oncam Grandeye Evolution ExD, but I know nothing about it other than reading the specs below. http://www.oncamgrandeye.com/storage/downloads/1424083289_2015.02.16_Evolution_ExD_Camera_EU.pdf
Suggestions For Explosion-Protected 360 Camera?
When you say 'explosion protected', do you mean the camera is 'protected from an external explosion' or the camera will not cause an external explosion?
I believe the intent is that the camera would not spark an explosion. The customer deals in natural gas. They are currently using this "explosion protected" PTZ camera: http://www.axis.com/us/en/products/xp40-q1765
They want something similar in a 360 camera.
IPVM posted an article about this type of application using the term "explosion proof": https://ipvm.com/reports/hazardous-explosion-proof-surveillance
Hi Brian, I'm the President of Oncam Americas...I'll be happy to give you more details about the ExD - jedulbehram@oncamgrandeye.com
