Enhanced Hazard-Zone Safety
Explosion-proof cameras deliver continuous monitoring in hazardous UK areas, helping improve visibility, detect incidents early, and reduce the risk of unnoticed safety threats.
SharpEagle Explosion-Proof Class 1 Division 1 Cameras support safe, continuous monitoring in hazardous UK environments where flammable gases, vapours, or harsh conditions may be present. Ideal for Aberdeen oil facilities, Grangemouth refineries, Teesside plants, Liverpool ports, and Manchester industrial sites.
Improve surveillance, safety, and compliance with SharpEagle Class 1 Division 1 Cameras built for demanding UK hazardous locations.
Ensure reliable monitoring, enhanced visibility, and uninterrupted security operations with ATEX-certified explosion-proof camera systems built for high-risk industrial zones.
We assess classified zones, environmental hazards, and surveillance requirements across UK sites in Aberdeen, Grangemouth, Teesside, Liverpool, and Manchester to define accurate camera placement and certification needs.
Camera models, viewing angles, lens options, and technical specifications are selected according to facility size, monitoring objectives, hazardous area classification, and compliance expectations.
Deployment is carried out with precision to integrate smoothly with existing security systems while keeping operational disturbance and downtime to a minimum.
Routine inspections, firmware updates, troubleshooting support, and technical assistance help maintain consistent camera performance, system reliability, and long-term site safety.
Certified surveillance solutions structured to support secure monitoring, operational control, and regulated hazardous-area safety environments.
Explosion-proof cameras deliver continuous monitoring in hazardous UK areas, helping improve visibility, detect incidents early, and reduce the risk of unnoticed safety threats.
Engineered to withstand heat, impact, vibration, corrosion, and harsh industrial conditions, these cameras operate reliably where standard CCTV systems may fail.
High-clarity imaging provides real-time visibility of critical operations, helping safety teams, security personnel, and site managers make faster, more informed decisions.
ATEX, IECEx, and Class 1 Division 1 certifications support compliance requirements for hazardous industries operating across oil, gas, chemical, marine, and manufacturing sectors.
Quick answers to the most common questions
Zone 1 is an area where an explosive atmosphere is likely during normal operation, such as pump stations, tank farms and loading gantries. Zone 2 is an area where that atmosphere is unlikely and would only be brief if it happened. A camera rated for a higher-risk zone can be used in a lower one, but not the reverse. If your drawings mark a spot Zone 1 at a Teesside plant, it needs a Zone 1 camera, full stop. Send us your area classification and we'll match the rating.
It comes down to your zone rating, the gas group and temperature class for your atmosphere, the field of view you need to cover, and whether you want a fixed watch on one asset or a PTZ camera sweeping a wider area. Fixed cameras suit a single valve skid or gate; PTZ suits a large yard or jetty. Share your area classification and site layout, and we'll spec the exact model, whether it's for a compact unit near Ellesmere Port or a sprawling terminal on the Humber.
Any operation with flammable gas, vapour or combustible dust in the air. That covers North Sea oil and gas out of Aberdeen and Sullom Voe, refineries and petrochemicals at Grangemouth and Fawley, the chemical cluster on Teesside, fuel and tank storage around Liverpool and Immingham, and manufacturing sites across Greater Manchester handling solvents or fine powders. If part of your site is zoned for explosion risk, that's where our cameras belong.
Send us your zone classification, the number of cameras, and whether you need fixed or PTZ, and we'll return a specced quote for your site. We supply and support installations across the UK, including Aberdeen, Grangemouth, Teesside, Liverpool and Manchester, and we act as a full safety partner rather than just a supplier. Inquire now and our team will scope the right explosion-proof camera setup for your operation.
It's the same hazard, labelled two different ways. The Class and Division system is North American, while the UK and most of the world use the IECEx Zone system, which is what DSEAR and your site's area classification are built on. So a Class 1 Division 1 area is your Zone 1. The reason you'll still see "Class 1 Division 1" on UK enquiries is that a lot of operators, from Aberdeen platforms to Teesside chemical plants, work to project specs written by US owners or EPC contractors. Our cameras are certified to both, so you're covered either way and never have to re-spec because the paperwork uses a different label.
