Ex285T Thermal Ex Camera

The EX285T is an EX-proof camera station designed for night-time surveillance in marine/EX environments. The key function is to detect oil spills on water surface, as well as personnel and vessel detection in total darkness. The sensor is a long-wave infrared thermal imaging device (7-14 micron), able to detect a person at up to 500m distance. (Detects an object 2,5x2,5 square meters at up to 1000m). No cooling unit is required for the sensor, and thus the lifetime is estimated to 20 000 hours. The camera station is delivered complete and fully tested with camera, lens and telemetry control for HERNIS 400, 250 and 200 control systems..

 

Camera Dome Camera Station Ex270

HERNIS’ EX Series are highly advanced process and surveillance camera stations that are certified to meet worldwide explosion proof environments. In the EX270 we have succeeded in eliminating the problem of distorted optional rendering, traditionally a challenge with EX dome camera stations. Our research and engineering was focused on correct optical rendering which resulted in a dome that allows for an astounding 36x zoom without mentionable image distortion. The customized dome is hardcoated for Electro-Magnetic Compatibility (EMC). In practice this means that any extra safety measures during cleaning in Ex zones are now rendered superfluous. The hard coating further adds scratch resistance. The dome offers endless panoramic rotation and 180deg tilt with vertical image flip. Speed; 116 degrees per second. Envision the dome being ceiling mounted in a hallway. You want to follow an object moving towards the camera, then moving past it. Without the image flip the object would appear upside down after having passed the camera. The HERNIS dome will however automatically flip the image for you once the object has passed for a natural viewing angle. The design optimises position accuracy and in poor light conditions the camera will automatically turn to black and white for optimal image quality. Autofocus further increases the user experience. The EX270 may be used with any HERNIS CCTV control system and can be mounted standing or hanging depending on the viewport required. A single cable is sufficient to transmit data, power and video, routed directly to the control cabinet, eliminating the need for additional junction box equipment.

EX291 SubSea Fixed Camera Station
  • The EX291 subsea camera station is certified for use in hazardous areas and designed for operation in splash zones and on depths down to 30 m (IP68 3 bar). It is DNV Type Approved, meaning it has been tested for operation in the most demanding locations withstanding physical environmental challenges like vibration, humidity, extreme temperature variations and corrosion. Like all HERNIS CCTV equipment the EX291 subsea is purpose built. The subsea camera station is delivered complete with vulcanised multicable eliminating water intrusion and handling the transmission of both data, power and video. Built-in electronics simplify the installation and minimise the need for maintenance. Internal heating eliminates any risk of icing or malfunction due to low temperatures, whereas the high quality stainless steel exterior is meticulously electro polished to ensure maximum resilience drawing carbon to the surface and reflecting direct sunlight to avoid heat absorption. Low power consumption combined with a reflective surface has resulted in the lowest surface temperature classification possible, i.e. T6. The EX291 subsea camera station is supplied with scratch resistant tempered glass. The EX291 can be used in combination with EX291L (Light) for added visibility.
