SVEX-HQ30-Z Explosion Proof PTZ Dome Camera Housing for Hazardous Environments
The SVEX-HQ30-Z Explosion Proof PTZ Dome Camera Housing is a highly durable, stainless-steel enclosure engineered to protect PTZ surveillance systems in volatile environments where explosive gases or combustible dust may be present. Fully compliant with ATEX and IECEx standards, this explosion-proof housing combines wide-area coverage with mechanical resilience, making it the ideal protective solution for oil refineries, chemical processing plants, and other high-risk industrial zones that demand dependable surveillance.
Certified Safety in Explosive Zones
The SVEX-HQ30-Z is certified to Ex d IIC T6 Gb / Ex tD A21 IP68 T80°C explosion-proof standards. Designed for use in Zone 1 and Zone 2 (gas environments) and Zone 21 and 22 (dust environments), this PTZ housing is built to handle environments where flammable vapors, gases, and dusts pose a risk of ignition. Its IP68 ingress protection rating ensures that it is fully sealed against dust and capable of withstanding prolonged immersion in water, offering total environmental isolation for mission-critical equipment.
The enclosure is available in 304 or 316L stainless steel, providing exceptional resistance to corrosion, salt, and chemical exposure. Optional surface finishes, such as electro-polishing or corrosion-resistant coatings, further extend the unit’s longevity in marine, offshore, and chemical-processing environments.
Precision PTZ Control for Broad Surveillance Coverage
The SVEX-HQ30-Z enables dynamic pan-tilt-zoom operation, offering a full 360° horizontal rotation and vertical tilt range of -90° to 0°, allowing for continuous, uninterrupted surveillance. The camera’s high-speed motors allow horizontal movement speeds from 0.1° to 300°/s and vertical speeds up to 250°/s, making it ideal for tracking fast-moving targets or scanning wide areas.
PTZ control features include:
- 64 to 300 programmable presets
- Cruise scan and auto pattern functions
- Auto resume and watch mode
- Pelco-D and Pelco-P protocols via RS-485
- Baud rate support from 2400 to 19200bps
With advanced automation and customizable presets, operators can set scheduled patrols or instantly reposition the camera to predefined areas, enabling comprehensive situational awareness with minimal operator input.
Electrical Performance and Environmental Tolerance
Designed for consistent operation in harsh environments, the SVEX-HQ30-Z supports multiple power input options, AC85V to AC265V, DC24V, or AC24V, accommodating global industrial standards. Its low power consumption of 25W (or 35W with thermostat) ensures energy efficiency while maintaining performance. An optional 6000V TVS surge protector defends against voltage spikes caused by lightning or electrical faults.
Built to operate in challenging climates, the unit supports:
- Ambient Temperatures from -25°C to +60°C (-13°F to 140°F)
- Relative Humidity up to 95% (non-condensing)
- Atmospheric Pressure between 80kPa and 106kPa
These specifications make it ideal for everything from arid deserts to humid coastal refineries.
Durable Build and Installation Flexibility
The SVEX-HQ30-Z features a sealed, integrated cable design to simplify wiring and reduce exposure to moisture and dust. The housing supports wall or pole mounting for maximum deployment flexibility, and its compact form factor (250mm x 250mm x 352mm) fits well in tight or elevated spaces. With a robust net weight of 11.5 kg, it maintains stability in high-vibration or wind-exposed settings. The unit is easy to integrate with analog camera systems and supports standard video output for legacy and hybrid deployments.
Ideal Applications
The SVEX-HQ30-Z is engineered to deliver flexible, wide-area surveillance protection in the world’s most dangerous industrial environments. Ideal deployment locations include:
- Oil & gas refineries and chemical plants
- Marine vessels and offshore rigs
- Explosives and hazardous material storage areas
- Combustible dust handling zones (grain silos, mills)
- Industrial tank farms, loading zones, and pipelines
- Mining sites and metallurgical facilities
Wherever rotational coverage, mechanical protection, and explosion-proof certification are essential, the SVEX-HQ30-Z Explosion Proof PTZ Dome Camera Housing offers unmatched performance, flexibility, and safety assurance.
