OT: Security camera for elec. classified area

Ken Moore · May 31, 2006

Hi folks,

I need to place a security camera in a Class I, Div. II, Groups C & D area. I suspect I will be purchasing a standard camera and placing it in a rated enclosure. A quick search on google did not turn up any rated enclosures, so I'm hoping someone on the forum has done something like this already, and can point me to a website or vendor.

Thanks

Ken

http://www.bebcoeps.com/ for a purge for a regular box or get a NEMA 7 box - Killark http://www.hubbell-killark.com/
as the camera will surelty not be non-incendive.

In either case a window kit can be had.

After refining my search parameters, I've located something that might work:

Honeywell Video Systems has an explosion proof camera.

$8k for the Almex, $18K for the Honeywell ...

If you don't need it all that fancy, the Bebco purge and/or the Killark XP encl. should be less than $4k total.

We have used PELCO enclosures in the past with cameras placed in classified locations. See the link for more info...

Use a small pinhole board mounted type camera and install it in one of these meter enclosures:

Try IV&C. They have rated enclosures.

Could always use a regular video camera in a nema 3r raintight enclosure and use either a barrier device on the power side or air purge the nema 3r enclosure, if you use a air purge box make sure you use dry air(dehy).

How about a $515 explosion proof camera? http://123securityproducts.com/excainhoexex.html

Hope this helps.

Hey Ron,
That 515 price is the cheapest I've found, I'll have to see if the camera is able to see what I need to see.

Thanks!
