Custom Explosion Proof Camera Housings
Veilux engineers custom explosion proof camera housings for Class I Division 1 and Zone 1 hazardous locations, certified to ATEX and IECEx standards. Every housing is built around the camera you already use or plan to install — including AXIS, Avigilon, Bosch, and Verkada models — so you get explosion-proof protection without giving up the camera platform your team already knows.
Built Around Your Camera, Not the Other Way Around
Standard explosion-proof enclosures force you to standardize on whatever camera fits the housing. Veilux takes the opposite approach: our engineers design the custom explosion proof camera housing around your specific camera model, mounting geometry, and cable entry requirements. That means you keep the video management software, lens options, and analytics your team already knows.
Housings are available in aluminum or 316 stainless steel, with viewport optics rated for the resolution and field of view your camera needs. Internal heaters and thermostatically controlled blowers are available for extreme temperature ranges, and every enclosure ships with certified conduit seals and cable glands sized to your wiring plan.
Why a Custom Explosion Proof Camera Housing Instead of an Off-the-Shelf Enclosure?
Off-the-shelf explosion-proof enclosures are built to fit a narrow list of pre-approved cameras. If your facility standardizes on a camera that isn’t on that list, you’re stuck choosing between switching cameras or accepting a housing that doesn’t fit correctly. A custom explosion proof camera housing removes that constraint — Veilux designs the internal mounting bracket, viewport position, and cable entry to match your camera precisely, so image quality, field of view, and IR performance aren’t compromised.
Custom explosion proof camera housings also make sense for non-standard mounting geometries — pole-mount, ceiling-recessed, or pendant configurations — and for facilities operating outside typical temperature ranges, from arctic conditions to desert heat.
Compatible With Leading Camera Brands
Veilux builds certified custom explosion proof camera housings for the camera brands facility managers already specify. See the integration guide for your camera:
- AXIS Camera Explosion-Proof Housing
- Avigilon Camera Explosion-Proof Housing
- Bosch Camera Explosion-Proof Housing
- Verkada Camera Explosion-Proof Housing

Veilux has existing certified housing designs for AXIS, Avigilon, Bosch, and Verkada cameras, and can develop a new certified enclosure for most other manufacturers on request. Contact our technical team with your camera model and we’ll confirm fit before you order.
Certifications & Compliance
Every custom explosion proof camera housing is independently certified to ATEX and IECEx standards, verified for use in explosive atmospheres found in petrochemical facilities, offshore platforms, grain handling operations, and chemical processing plants. Class I Division 1 and Zone 1 environments demand the highest level of enclosure protection, while Division 2 and Zone 2 locations may permit designs with a lower protection level.
Veilux supplies full technical documentation, certified installation drawings, wiring diagrams, and post-installation support with every custom explosion proof camera housing. For general background on hazardous-location requirements, see the OSHA hazardous location standards.
How the Custom Housing Process Works
- Consultation — tell us your camera model, area classification, and mounting environment.
- Engineering & drawings — our team designs the housing and viewport around your camera’s exact dimensions and cable entries.
- Certification documentation — you receive ATEX/IECEx compliance paperwork and a full bill of materials before you commit.
- Fabrication & testing — each housing is built and tested to the certified specification.
- Delivery & support — installation drawings and technical support are included at no additional charge.
Most projects move from initial consultation to a finished proposal in about a week, depending on how many camera models and mounting variations your site requires.
