Larson Electronics Explosion Proof Network IP Camera - 4.0MP Resolution, Built-in Infrared - 20FPS - IP66 Rated - N4X - Beam Clamp Mount EXPCMR-IP-POE-4MP-IR-BCM

The EXPCMR-IP-POE-4MP-IR-BCM Network Explosion Proof Camera w/ Beam Clamp Mount from Larson Electronics is a remote inspection camera specifically designed for observation in hazardous locations. This explosion proof, dust/ignition proof, weather proof and tamper resistant camera provides the operator with a live feed from inside tanks, reactors, vessels or other hazardous locations. Equipped with built-in infrared, this remote inspection camera saves both time and money as well as contributing to workplace safety. The EXPCMR-IP-POE-4MP-IR-BCM is equipped with a beam clamp mounting system that allows for easy installation on beams.

Camera Features: The EXPCMR-IP-POE-4MP-IR-BCM Network Explosion Proof Camera features a built-in 1/3" progressive-scan CMOS image sensor that delivers up to 4.0MP resolution at 20 fps. The wide angle fixed lens with 83¡ field of view is designed to cover large areas and work spaces. This explosion proof camera provides a crisp and clear image for everything within the 83¡ focal area. Total distance is dependent on mounting height and angle.

The explosion proof unit comes with built-in infrared lights. For additional infrared illumination, an external infrared light can be used with the explosion proof device (not included). For 12-24 V DC applications, we recommend the Larson Electronics 12-watt explosion surface-mount infrared LED light (EXHL-TRN-LE3-IR-1224). As an alternative, we also offer the EXHL-TRN-LE3-IR-1227 for 120-240V AC applications

This remote inspection camera utilizes 120dB true Wide Dynamic Range, 3D Digital Noise Reduction and a true day/night IR-Cut Filter Removal to produce clear images in variable and low light conditions. The camera automatically switches from full color to IR mode when visible light falls below a certain level.

Wiring: Link-up with the camera is achieved via a customer provided RJ45 Ethernet cable which is ran back to the customer provided DVR system mounted outside the hazardous location. Camera power is delivered via the same Ethernet cable using Power over Ethernet (PoE) technology. This not only increases flexibility in deployment, but also provides time and cost savings as well.

Our explosion proof cameras with Power over Ethernet (PoE) features enable data transfers and power to be passed through a single Ethernet cable that is usually a Cat 3/Cat 5 cable or better. There are several types of PoE, which come with their own respective standard and maximum power to port capabilities. The IEEE 802.3af PoE standard, with a voltage range of 44.0 - 57.0V, offers 15.4W of DC power for each port. The IEEE 802.3at PoE standard, with a voltage range of 50.0 Ð 57.0V, provides up to 30W of DC power per port, which is ideal for surveillance cameras, antennas and network access points. The IEEE 802.3bt PoE standard, with a voltage range of 50.0 Ð 57.0V, provides 60W of DC power for each port. In order to utilize PoE properly, the components, such as the receiving unit and sending device, must be PoE compliant.

Recording: To record the stream from this camera, a NVR (network video recorder) is required. Larson Electronics provides a line of explosion proof, hazardous location, and non-classified NVR`s to work in conjunction with this explosion proof camera. This camera is live-view capable without any NVR system via remote access to the camera. Three streams are available, one main stream for recording and two sub streams for live viewing or additional resources. Each steam can be configured to different resolutions and frame rates.

Mounting: The EXPCMR-IP-POE-4MP-IR-BCM is equipped with a beam clamp mounting system that allows it to be mounted on beams.

Applications: Vessel, tank and reactor monitoring, remote observation of external facilities, monitoring of cleaning, spray patterns, mixing, foaming, reaction, and level.
