Explosion proof bullet camera housings are engineered to protect bullet-style surveillance cameras in hazardous environments with flammable gases, vapors, or dust. Certified to meet ATEX and IECEx standards for guaranteed safety and compliance in volatile industrial zones.
Constructed from durable, corrosion-resistant materials and certified to ATEX, IECEx, and other global safety standards, these explosion-proof bullet camera housings ensure safe operation without compromising camera functionality. Ideal for oil refineries, chemical plants, and industrial zones, they provide robust protection against explosive atmospheres while maintaining clear, long-range visibility.
Selecting the correct explosion proof bullet camera housing involves more than just matching the physical dimensions. Follow this four-step checklist to ensure you spec the right model for your project:
Wiring infrastructure in hazardous zones is heavily regulated. Most of our explosion proof bullet camera housings can support both standard PoE (Power over Ethernet) and traditional AC/DC power supplies, depending on the internal climate control requirements.
For long-distance runs typical in massive industrial plants, many integrators utilize explosion proof junction boxes paired with media converters to run fiber optic cabling directly to the camera zone. Ensure you are factoring in the power draw of the housing’s internal heater and blower (which often require dedicated 24VAC or 12VDC power) alongside the PoE requirements of your specific IP camera.
Our explosion proof bullet camera housings are deployed across a wide range of critical infrastructure and high-risk verticals:
Yes, explosion-proof housings and weatherproof housings each serve different purposes:
If your installation site is classified as a hazardous area with explosive risks, explosion-proof housings are required. Weatherproof housings are only meant for general outdoor sites where explosive conditions are not a concern.
While our enclosures are designed to accommodate a wide range of standard IP bullet and box cameras, you must verify the internal dimensions carefully. It is crucial to account for the physical space required for the camera body, the lens extension, the wiring radius, and any integrated heater or blower components. Always check the specific model’s maximum internal clearance chart before finalizing your camera pairing.
Yes. To maintain the strict integrity of the explosion proof seal, these housings are secured with specialized, heavy-duty tamper-proof fasteners. Routine maintenance or camera adjustments should only be performed by certified technicians using the correct tools. Furthermore, the power must be completely disconnected and the atmosphere verified as safe before opening the explosion proof bullet camera housing in a hazardous zone.
The sunshield on an explosion proof bullet camera housing plays a critical role in both image quality and thermal management. By physically blocking direct sunlight, it significantly reduces the amount of solar heat radiating into the enclosure, helping the internal cooling fan operate more efficiently. It also acts as a physical visor, preventing sun glare and lens flares from blinding the camera sensor during sunrise or sunset.
Yes. For environments dealing with heavy mud, chemical sprays, or constant settling dust, you can select specialized explosion proof bullet camera housings equipped with motorized wipers. These models often pair with a pressurized washer fluid tank to keep the viewing window completely clear without requiring a technician to enter a hazardous zone to manually clean the glass.
We offer a variety of heavy-duty stainless steel mounts to go along with our explosion proof bullet camera housings, including standard wall brackets, pole mount adapters, and parapet mounts, ensuring secure installation on virtually any industrial structural surface.
Yes! If you have a specific bullet camera model that needs explosion-proof protection, we can create a custom housing for it, even if it’s from another brand. We ensure the housing fits your camera’s exact dimensions, includes any special features you may need (such as a heater, cooler, sunshade, or wiper), and meets all the safety standards for hazardous areas classified as Class I, Div 1/2.
