What Are Explosion-Protected Cameras?

Explosion-protected cameras are certified to operate in hazardous areas without becoming an ignition source. Internal electronics are housed in flameproof enclosures that contain any internal sparking or heat. They are mandatory in classified zones where flammable atmospheres may be present—standard cameras are illegal in these areas.

Australian Hazardous Area Applications

Common deployment areas include petroleum refineries and tank farms, LPG storage, paint and solvent storage, lithium-battery storage warehouses, grain silos and flour mills, mining operations (coal and metalliferous), chemical processing plants and pharmaceutical manufacturing. AS/NZS 60079 classifies these as Zone 0/1/2 (gas) or Zone 20/21/22 (dust).

Frequently Asked Questions about Axis Explosion-Protected

What's the difference between ATEX, IECEx and AS/NZS 60079?

ATEX is the EU directive, IECEx is the international standard, and AS/NZS 60079 is the Australian/New Zealand adoption. Most certified products carry all three. AS/NZS 60079 is mandatory for hazardous areas in Australia.

Do I need a licensed installer for explosion-protected cameras?

Yes, installation in hazardous areas requires personnel competent under AS/NZS 60079.17 with EEHA (Electrical Equipment in Hazardous Areas) certification. Improper installation voids certification and creates safety risk.

Which zones do Axis Ex cameras cover?

Axis explosion-protected cameras are certified for Zone 1 and Zone 2 (gas atmospheres) and Zone 21 and Zone 22 (combustible dust atmospheres). Zone 0 applications require specialised equipment.

What's the temperature range for Ex cameras?

Axis Ex cameras operate from -60°C to +60°C ambient temperature, with internal heaters for cold environments and sunshields for hot environments. Specialised arctic and tropical variants extend these ranges further.

Are explosion-protected cameras expensive?

Yes, typically 3-5x the cost of equivalent standard cameras due to certified construction, special materials and limited production volumes. They are non-negotiable for hazardous-area applications where standard cameras are illegal.
