Frequently Asked Questions For Explosion Proof Cameras

Do certain brands produce better explosion proof cameras?

While the quality of the cameras provided by different security camera brands is often up for debate, there are brands that offer a better variety. Not many brands offer explosion proof cameras, or even explosion proof housing. Most brands simply offer a single explosion proof housing for a specific camera type, like a bullet camera, but other brands may offer dozens of not only explosion proof housing but explosion proof cameras. When looking for a specific camera feature such as explosion proof housing be sure to do your research or contact our camera specialists at Camera Security Now so we can help you find the perfect camera.

What are IP and IK ratings?

To put it simply an IP rating tells you how protected your camera is against the weather and an IK raitng tells you how resistant your camera is to impacts. For example, an IP 68 camera is the highest IP rating a camera can get, this means the camera is completely protected from dust and can survive long-term immersion in water which makes it resiliant to the elements. On the other hand, the highest IK rating is IK 10. This rating means your camera can survive a 20 joule impact and an 11 pound object falling on it from a height of 15 inches.

Does explosion proof housing hinder the video quality?

Putting a camera inside of an explosion proof housing will not reduce the quality of your video at all. Your camera can still record high quality video thanks to technology called Wide Dynamic Range (WDR), this technology allows cameras to capture quality video even through the glass barrier on an explosion proof housing. The camera does this by giving itself a wider dynamic range by utilizing dynamic contrast and capture capabilites to give you a clear picture no matter what.
