The difference between explosion-proof surveillance cameras and riot surveillance cameras

Many customers cannot distinguish between “explosion-proof” and “anti-riot”, and even apply riot-prevention products to areas with high flammability. This method has a high risk factor and even causes serious damage to personal and property. Riot protection is anti-violence, vandalism, or impact resistance. This type of product has a relatively rigid shell and does not have the performance and certification of explosion-proof electrical appliances. These are two completely different products.

Explosion-proof surveillance cameras are also known as high security cameras, anti-impact cameras, anti-strike cameras, and vandal-proof cameras. As the name implies, a riot camera is a camera that can still ensure the normal operation of components under the attack of external violence. Its characteristic is that its outer shell has a strong impact resistance.

Explosion-proof cameras are explosion-proof monitoring products. They are the cross product of the explosion-proof industry and the monitoring industry. Because the conventional camera products cannot be used in high-risk flammable and explosive sites, products with explosion-proof functions and relevant certificates issued by national authorities are required. Can be called an explosion-proof camera.

For explosion-proof surveillance cameras, it is a work that cannot be accomplished by a small company. It can be called an explosion-proof camera only if it meets the national standards. Unlike riot cameras, explosion-proof cameras require higher monitoring technology. Whether it is an analog camera or a network digital camera, high-definition is also the future trend of explosion-proof cameras.

In the surveillance of night vision, the anti-riot camera pays more attention to the external protection capabilities, so the image effect is the same as an ordinary surveillance camera; explosion-proof cameras are applied in different fields due to the particularity of the application field.

A mine example, taking into account the special nature of underground mining, it is very sensitive to stability; cold light explosion-proof camera is the first choice.

Explosion-proof cameras emphasize the integrity of the camera, in addition to monitoring the probe, explosion-proof protective cover, explosion-proof head, explosion-proof codec, etc. are all key. Common surveillance cameras use aluminum material housings, while explosion-proof equipment uses special steel housings, and there is a clear difference in natural load capacity.

With the continuous deepening of industrialized security monitoring projects, both explosion-proof cameras and riot cameras have their unique market share. The annual growth rate of security surveillance cameras is 20% to 30%, although this type of equipment accounts for 1/5 of the entire market.

However, with the increase of the base number, the explosion-proof camera market will also have a significant increase.

The anti-riot camera is just enough effort on the shell, and its internal movement structure is not much different from ordinary high-speed ball. So apart from the outer shell, the camera movement is really not important?

Currently explosion-proof products manufacturers have strengthened the attention of the internal structure of the anti-riot camera, perhaps using an integrated movement can better complete the anti-riot function.

Since the explosion-proof camera is installed in a place where the combustible gas is toxic or harmful, the surrounding environment of the monitoring facility should be observed during the initial installation of the equipment. Use portable combustible gas alarms for on-site inspections;

Use explosion-proof ventilators to set up temporary local strong ventilation; use rigorous fire during installation and wiring, and cables must also be insulated.

From a literal point of view, the impact resistance of riot cameras is better than that of explosion-proof cameras. In fact, such an understanding is wrong. The impact resistance of riot cameras is lower than that of the latter.

At present, there is an explosion-proof camera with interchangeable lens on the market, which can reduce costs and can be more easily maintained. Perhaps for both "explosion-proof" devices, it is a reference direction.
