SVEX-8M25Z-Z High-Resolution Explosion Proof Bullet Camera for Hazardous Environments

The SVEX-8M25Z-Z High-Resolution Explosion Proof Bullet Camera is a next-generation surveillance solution designed to operate safely and reliably in hazardous environments where explosive gases or combustible dust are present. Certified with ATEX and IECEx approvals and built from durable stainless steel, this bullet-style IP camera provides crystal-clear 4K resolution, robust night vision, and intelligent video analytics—making it ideal for critical infrastructure and industrial applications.

Certified Safety in Explosive Zones

With an Ex db IIC T6 Gb / Ex tb IIIC T80°C Db explosion-proof rating, this camera is fully certified for use in Gas Zones 1 and 2 and Dust Zones 21 and 22, where flammable substances may exist. It is constructed from 316L stainless steel—with optional electro-polished or corrosion-resistant finishes—offering superior protection against harsh marine and industrial environments. The enclosure meets IP66, IP68 (2m/2h), and IP69 ratings, ensuring full resistance to dust, high-pressure water, and submersion.

Ultra HD Surveillance with Smart Imaging

At the core of this camera is a 1/2.8″ progressive scan CMOS sensor delivering up to 8MP (3840 × 2160) resolution. Combined with true WDR, 3D DNR, smart IR, and intelligent exposure controls like HLC, BLC, and defog, this camera captures crisp, well-balanced video under any lighting conditions. Its 2.7–13.5mm motorized zoom lens provides a horizontal field of view from 98.1° to 30.9°, with infrared night vision reaching up to 60 meters (328 feet).

DORI Distances for precision surveillance:

  • Detect: up to 280m

  • Recognize: up to 56m

  • Identify: up to 28m

Advanced Video Analytics and Smart Functions

This high-resolution explosion proof bullet camera goes beyond basic monitoring with embedded AI-powered smart functions, including:

  • Multi-object detection (face, human, vehicle)

  • Intrusion detection, loitering, line crossing, and wrong-way detection

  • ROI and privacy masking zones (up to 8 ROI, 4 privacy zones)

  • People counting for activity and foot traffic insights

These features allow for event-based alerts and target-specific surveillance, significantly enhancing situational awareness in complex industrial zones.

Flexible Streaming and Secure Networking

Supports triple-stream video at up to 30fps in 4K, with advanced encoding (CBR/VBR) and bitrate control ranging from 100 kbps to 16 Mbps. Network protocols include IPv4/IPv6, HTTPS, SNMP, TLS/SSL, and more. The camera supports ONVIF, SDK, and CGI for seamless integration into third-party VMS platforms. Up to 10 users can access the feed concurrently, and local storage is available via Micro SD card (up to 256GB).

Ideal Applications

The camera is purpose-built for environments such as:

  • Oil & gas fields and refineries

  • Chemical and petrochemical plants

  • Offshore platforms and marine facilities

  • Explosives or fireworks factories

  • Grain silos, mills, and combustible dust areas

Wherever high-definition monitoring and explosion-proof reliability are required, the SVEX-8M25Z-Z high-resolution explosion proof bullet camera is the trusted choice.

Why 8MP Matters in Hazardous Areas

High-resolution cameras in hazardous locations reduce the total number of certified units required to achieve equivalent coverage — lowering both capital cost and installation complexity. A single SVEX-8M25Z-Z can cover an area that might otherwise require two or three lower-resolution explosion-proof cameras, reducing conduit runs, junction boxes, and power infrastructure in classified zones.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is the SVEX-8M25Z-Z ATEX certified?

Yes. ATEX/IECEx certified for Zone 1, Ex d IIC T4 Gb, and UL/cUL listed for Class I Division 1, Groups B, C, D. At 8MP it delivers 4K-equivalent detail for high-resolution hazardous area surveillance.

What resolution does this explosion-proof camera provide?

8MP (3840×2160) at up to 15fps – 4K equivalent. Enables post-event digital zoom for license plate recognition, personnel identification, and equipment inspection without deploying additional cameras.

What is the optical zoom range?

25x motorized optical zoom (4.9mm to 122mm), enabling detailed coverage at extended distances across refinery process units, chemical perimeters, and LNG terminal loading areas.

How does 8MP reduce total hazardous area camera count?

High-resolution cameras can cover larger areas from fewer positions, reducing the total number of explosion-proof units needed. Fewer certified cameras means fewer conduit entries, junction boxes, and power connections in classified zones – a meaningful installation cost reduction.
