Essential Industries Requiring Ex-Proof Camera Surveillance

Improved safety in all aspects of human existence has been the target of intensive research in recent times. Several policies have been put into place to safeguard modern industry operations. These efforts are remarkably enhanced with advancements in technology, communication, software, and cloud architecture. Surveillance with Advanced CCTV Camera Systems suits a range of applications in these complex times. Whether it is traffic or transport, oil and gas industries, handling materials, or providing building security, camera systems are customised to deliver the best surveillance, safety, and security measures in any industry.

Every factory that operates in an explosive environment with flammable air and combustible dust particles needs critical monitoring. A good range of CCTV solutions helps in digital monitoring of all nooks and corners of a factory. In addition, it helps ensure a secured work environment for workers in the factory, warehouse, and material management sectors. The well-structured Explosion-proof cameras are designed as per the ATEX certification standards with a protective steel case encasement. This helps in keeping the device safe from sparks and radiation and gives longevity to the device. The devices primarily used for ex-proof industries are Analog Ex Cameras, Robust Cameras, Network Ex Cameras, Connection systems, enclosures, ex cables, etc.

Choose the safety system where the entire device body is resistant to the temperature and pressure and can work optimally even below -60 degrees celsius. The IP structure network monitoring will provide necessary signals, both audio and visuals, and help in data processing that can be transmitted over a great distance.

2. Depots of Fuel and Refineries: Safety requirements must be seamless in such industries because of their highly explosive nature. The control and coordination from a central location is necessary for adhering to the safety regulations, reducing the requirement for the operator to manually maintain the safety standards, and increasing industrial productivity.

‍3. Pharmaceutical & Chemical Industries: The chemical industry has transformed completely over the years after the introduction of automation in its tech sector. Cameras work the best in certain parts of this industry where human monitoring is impossible because of extremity in pressure-temperature and highly acidic, corrosive, and sulphurous surroundings.

Pharmaceutical & Chemical Industries

The chemical industries especially have certain zones where workers cannot reach or can work only to a limited extent. Conventional monitoring often leads to a lack of situational awareness in these zones, resulting in several gaps in response time during crises. Hence, several remote zones in pharmaceutical and chemical businesses require the latest tech solutions to achieve peak efficiency in their operations.  

‍4. Mechanical Engineering: Sensors and CCTV monitoring have been an essential part of the mechanical engineering industry for years. Primarily, two monitoring systems are used in these industries - industrial photo processing and video surveillance. Advanced surveillance cameras are essential in monitoring these sectors.

Importance of investing in ex-proof cameras for your industry

Explosion-proof surveillance solutions are necessary to keep your business safe and substantially reduce your insurance expenses. Unfortunately, many industries still continue to experience serious accidents and fatalities due to explosions, owing to the lack of such safety solutions. Global experts recommend that there is no time like the present to take the necessary steps to mitigate the risks for such fatal incidents in your workplace.

Self-awareness and precautions go a long way in having a safe and successful business. Instead of waiting for a fatality to occur before making an investment in safety infrastructure, we advise you to reevaluate the safety standards of your workplace today. By providing your workers with an opportunity for a safe work environment, our safety solutions also increase your factory productivity manifold. Installing and investing in this safety solution will help you prevent several fatal and major accidents that can pose threats to your business and employees.

Every factory that operates in an explosive environment with flammable air and combustible dust particles needs critical monitoring. A good range of CCTV solutions helps in digital monitoring of every sector and zone of a workplace. In addition, it helps ensure a secured work environment for workers in the factory, warehouse, and material management sectors. The well-structured explosion-proof cameras are designed as per the ATEX certification standards with a protective steel case encasement. This helps in keeping the device safe from sparks and radiation and gives longevity to the device. Here’s a list of benefits that make ex-proof cameras an indispensable asset for modern industries:

Monitoring Precious Machinery

‍Instrumental for security at thousands of work sites globally, surveillance cameras help manage complex machinery and elaborate production systems in factories. Some of these industry setups are so extensive that keeping a human watch is almost impossible. Setting up ex-proof cameras in sensitive locations and monitoring the work closely from a control room enables constant surveillance.

‍Prioritising Workers’ Safety

‍Ex-proof cameras help monitor the workforce and their every day operations. A bird’s eye view of the area or the assembly plants helps detect dysfunctions or system issues before it leads to a serious accident. A constant survey helps keep workers and materials, machines, and schedules in good shape to promote high productivity.

Keeping a Safe Distance

‍Measuring the levels of gases and chemicals in industries requires gauges and metres. Some locations in remote forest or desert areas and out at sea can be beyond easy reach. In such a case, constant monitoring of certain metres can be extremely challenging. Beside keeping the workers at a safe distance, the ex-proof cameras provide real-time data about the metres and target zones of surveillance. While such cameras have a significantly larger initial cost compared to conventional cameras, their protective design, enhanced safety, and lower maintenance also enable higher ROI over years for the company.

Safe Surveillance of Toxic Materials‍

Along with the safety of costly and dangerous equipment is the problem of keeping toxic materials safe. The toxic stuff needs to be handled with protective equipment and kept under constant watch. Military establishments and arms and ammunition production facilities are some examples of such hazardous industries. Specialised cameras certified to withstand all types of volatile conditions can be safely installed to monitor the areas. Such ex-proof cameras avoid direct contact of the electric wiring of the camera with hazardous substances, which could have potentially led to an explosion. Furthermore, such cameras are necessary for sensitive locations like the entrance and perimeters that need 24x7 security and surveillance.

24x7 Remote Surveillance

‍Like home security systems, the cameras that work via the internet can be remote-controlled from faraway locations. With the power of wireless technology, managers can control the camera systems and monitor to check operational efficiency from remote locations. Through such remote surveillance, any potential mishap can be foreseen from afar, enabling swift organisation and remedial action to prevent escalation of the situation. Whether it is a fire or burglary, the concerned authorities can be easily contacted through various media to take early action.
