Features
The 2MEP16-IP5M32X is a high-performance, explosion-proof PTZ network camera engineered for continuous, high-definition surveillance in hazardous and volatile environments. Combining advanced physical durability with precision imaging technologies, this system delivers actionable intelligence where standard security hardware cannot survive.
Certifications & Hazardous Zone Compliance
Built to mitigate risks in volatile atmospheres, this PTZ camera features rigorous ATEX and IECEx certifications. It is explicitly rated for Gas Zones 1 and 2 under the Ex db IIC T6 Gb classification, as well as Dust Zones 21 and 22 under the Ex tb IIIC T80°C Db classification. For specialized installations, an optional optical fiber variant is available with distinct “op pr” (optical radiation) safety markings, including II 2 G Ex db op pr IIC T6 Gb and II 2 D Ex tb op pr IIIC T80°C Db.
Heavy-Duty, Weatherproof Construction
The chassis is manufactured from high-grade Stainless Steel 304 or 316L, which protects the internal components against extreme corrosive elements and impacts. The housing meets dual IP66 and IP68 standards, providing total dust protection and water submersion seals up to 2 meters for 2 hours. It operates reliably in temperature extremes ranging from -40°C to +60°C (-40°F to +140°F) and atmospheric pressures between 80 and 110 kPa. To prolong the lifetime of the hardware in marine or chemical environments, users can choose an optional electropolished or corrosion-resistant paint finish.
Precision Optical Performance
Equipped with a 1/2.8″ 4-Megapixel STARVIS™ CMOS image sensor, the camera delivers a maximum resolution of 2560(H)×1440(V) at up to 25/30 frames per second. The powerful 4.9 mm to 156 mm varifocal lens provides a 32x optical zoom, facilitating crystal-clear long-distance identification without losing image fidelity. Starlight technology maintains color imagery down to 0.005 Lux and black-and-white visibility down to 0.0005 Lux, making it ideal for poorly illuminated industrial yards. Furthermore, 120 dB True Wide Dynamic Range (WDR) balances extreme backlighting, glare, and sharp shadows to ensure clear details in direct sunlight.
High-Speed PTZ Capabilities
The pan-tilt-zoom mechanism provides a complete 0° to 360° endless panning field and a 0° to 90° tilt range with an automatic 180° flip function. Manual control speeds smoothly adjust from 0.1°/s to 350°/s on the pan axis and 0.1°/s to 250°/s on the tilt axis. When executing automated commands, the high-speed presets reach up to 500°/s, allowing the camera to cycle through up to 300 predefined memory locations, tours, patterns, or automated scans instantly.
Advanced AI & Edge Analytics
The integrated processing core runs advanced edge intelligence to maximize threat detection efficiency while reducing network overhead. Through SMD Plus and perimeter protection features, the camera automatically filters out false alarms triggered by animals, rustling leaves, wind, or sudden light changes, ensuring alerts are restricted to human or motor vehicle activity. An auto-tracking system intelligently locks onto and tracks moving objects within the frame to keep them in view. Finally, Smart H.265+ compression optimizes stream delivery by reducing bandwidth and storage consumption by up to 70% compared to baseline H.265 encoding.
Applications
The 2MEP16-IP5M32X is designed for deployment in industries handling combustible gases, chemical vapors, or fine organic dusts. This includes petrochemical and energy facilities like oil extraction platforms, natural gas production fields, and refineries. It is equally suited for manufacturing and defense locations, such as chemical processing plants and fireworks production factories, as well as agricultural environments like grain elevators and processing silos. Logistics centers, petrol stations, and hazardous material storage yards can also utilize this system for long-distance outdoor video surveillance.
