SVEX-HIR1-S Explosion-Proof PTZ Camera with IR Lighting

SVEX-HIR1-S Explosion-Proof PTZ Camera with IR Lighting for Hazardous Areas

Explosion-proof ptz camera for Hazardous Locations

The SVEX-HIR1-S Explosion-Proof PTZ Camera with IR Lighting is a rugged, industrial-grade surveillance solution designed for high-risk and hazardous environments. With a powerful 2MP sensor, up to 30x optical zoom, 360° PTZ functionality, and integrated infrared lighting for night vision up to 100 meters, this camera delivers precision monitoring under the most extreme conditions. Its stainless steel IP68-rated housing and built-in wiper make it ideal for oil & gas, chemical plants, and other explosive or corrosive environments where safety and visibility are critical.

Engineered for Hazardous Environments

Built for performance in explosive gas and dust atmospheres, the SVEX-HIR1-S features a corrosion-resistant 304 or 316L stainless steel enclosure. Designed to withstand outdoor industrial environments, it offers certified resistance to water, dust, high-pressure spray, and corrosion.

Key environmental features:

• Ingress Protection: IP68-rated

• Ambient Temperature: -25°C to +60°C

• Air Pressure: 80kPa to 106kPa

• Relative Humidity: ≤95% (non-condensing)

• Power Options: AC100V~240V or AC24V

• Power Consumption: 50W standard, 70W with integrated thermostat for cold-weather operation

• Mounting Options: Wall or pole mount

• Weight: 24.5 kg

• Size: 502 x 292 x 443 mm

The camera includes an integrated wiper to maintain visibility in rain, dust, and marine conditions, minimizing the need for manual maintenance.

Precision PTZ Control and Intelligent Positioning

The SVEX-HIR1-S features full 360° continuous pan and -90° to +90° tilt, offering total coverage of the monitored area. Smooth and responsive PTZ controls ensure fast subject tracking and scene changes.

PTZ performance features:

• Horizontal Speed: 0.1° to 45°/s

• Cruise Scan: Supported

• Auto Scan: Supported

• Preset Positions: 64, 128, 255, or 300

• Auto Resume: Returns to preset after power recovery

• Keep Watch: Lock onto a scene or area

• Integrated Cable for simplified installation

These capabilities allow the camera to monitor wide industrial zones, track moving targets, or follow pre-programmed surveillance tours.

2MP Imaging with 20X/30X Optical Zoom

The camera uses a 1/2.8″ interline-transfer CCD image sensor to deliver crisp 2MP resolution in both live view and recording. With optical zoom options of 20x (4.7–94mm) or 30x (4.5–135mm), operators can observe wide areas or zoom in for high-detail inspection without sacrificing image clarity.

Advanced imaging features:

• Minimum Illumination:

  • Color: 0.05 Lux

  • B/W: 0.01 Lux

• Signal-to-Noise Ratio (S/N): >52dB (AGC Off)

• Day/Night Modes: Auto / Color / Black & White

• ICR Filter: Ensures true day/night switching

• Gain Control: Off / Lower / Higher

• White Balance Modes: Auto, Manual, ATW, Indoor, Outdoor, Sodium, Fluorescent

• 3D Digital Noise Reduction (3D DNR)

• BLC (Backlight Compensation): On/Off

• Image Settings: Adjustable brightness, contrast, saturation, sharpness, and mirror

This flexibility allows operators to fine-tune performance for challenging light environments, whether inside dim refineries or under direct sunlight on offshore platforms.

100m Infrared Lighting for Night Surveillance

Equipped with powerful integrated IR lighting, the SVEX-HIR1-S enables effective surveillance even in total darkness.

IR lighting features:

• IR Range: Up to 100 meters

• Auto Light Control: Syncs with day/night mode

• Wavelength: Optimized for low-power, high-penetration night vision

• Lighting Control: Enabled via platform or preset triggers
