Selecting the right explosion proof camera style depends entirely on your facility’s architecture and security goals. Even though all styles offer the same rigorous containment of internal sparks, their physical designs serve completely different operational purposes.
| Camera Style | Visual Coverage | Ideal Environment | Key Advantage |
|---|---|---|---|
| Bullet | Fixed, directional, long-range | Pipeline corridors, fencelines, outdoor loading docks | Built-in sunshield reduces glare; obvious physical deterrent |
| Dome | Fixed, wide-angle, discreet | Low ceilings, pharmaceutical cleanrooms, indoor processing | Smooth profile is easy to sanitize; vandal-resistant bubble |
| Fisheye | Fixed, 360-degree panoramic, blind-spot-free | Confined indoor spaces, processing rooms, pump stations | Eliminates blind spots entirely; replaces multiple fixed cameras |
| PTZ | Active 360-degree panning, active zoom | Massive outdoor facilities, active wellheads, high-mast poles | Allows active tracking of personnel or zooming in on gauges |
Our explosion proof bullet cameras are deployed across a wide range of critical infrastructure and high-risk verticals:
While domes are great for confined indoor spaces, bullet cameras excel in expansive, harsh environments where you need a fixed, unrelenting eye on a specific target.
Under the National Electrical Code (NEC) Article 500, all wiring in Class I/II hazardous areas must use conduit sealing fittings (EYS/EYD), explosion proof conduit bodies, and intrinsically safe or explosion-proof junction boxes. Texas requires a licensed contractor; 2M Technology holds Security License B15309 and partners with licensed electrical contractors for all classified-area camera projects. For site-specific explosion proof bullet cameras selection assistance, contact 2M Technology at (214) 988-4302 — we match explosion proof cameras to your hazardous area classification report and provide installation by licensed contractors.
Purchasing an integrated explosion proof bullet camera saves significant installation time and guarantees total system compliance. When you buy a separate housing and camera, the integrator is responsible for ensuring the camera fits, managing the internal heat load, and correctly wiring the components without compromising the explosion proof seal. An integrated camera arrives fully assembled, pre-wired, and globally certified as one complete device.
Our explosion proof bullet cameras typically support PoE (Power over Ethernet) or standard 12VDC/24VAC power inputs. However, because they are installed in hazardous zones, the network cable or power lines must be run through certified explosion proof conduit with poured seals to prevent volatile gases from traveling through the wiring back to your network switch.
Absolutely. Our explosion proof bullet cameras are constructed with 304 or 316L stainless steel housings, providing exceptional resistance to severe saltwater corrosion. They also carry IP68 weather ratings, meaning they are completely dust-tight and protected against continuous submersion in water.
A sunshield is highly recommended for virtually any exterior installation. It acts as a vital visor that blocks direct sunlight, preventing intense glare and lens flares from blinding the camera sensor during sunrise and sunset. More importantly, it provides a layer of thermal protection by reducing the amount of solar heat radiating directly onto the heavy stainless steel body, ensuring the internal electronics remain cool and operate efficiently in blistering environments.
A motorized wiper is an essential upgrade if your facility deals with heavy mud, constant offshore saltwater spray, or thick settling dust found in grain elevators or mining operations. Instead of risking a technician’s safety by sending them into a hazardous zone to manually clean the lens, operators can trigger the silicone wiper remotely to instantly clear the tempered glass. For the ultimate self-cleaning setup, you can pair the wiper with a pressurized washer fluid tank to wash away debris and prevent abrasive dust from scratching the lens over time.
We offer a variety of heavy-duty stainless steel mounts to go along with our explosion proof bullet cameras, 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.
