What precautions should be taken when installing explosion-proof cameras?
Today, explosion-proofSurveillance cameras have become irreplaceable security equipment in special industrial production environments. In chemical plants, gas stations, port terminals, fireworks and firecracker factories, military factories, coal mines, offshore drilling platforms, etc., no matter whether the security system in the region is perfect or not, no matter whether the objective environment has clear requirements for the depth of security work requirements, in short, explosion-proof cameras are absolutely indispensable equipment in every area that requires explosion-proof monitoring.
However, the greater the demand, the greater the demand, but sometimes it is easy for people to overlook some of its installation requirements and skills. Therefore, today we will briefly talk about the precautions when installing explosion-proof cameras.
What are the precautions for installing explosion-proof cameras
The location selection for explosion-proof camera installation is very important
In many previous articles, we have introduced many precautions for selection. However, if we do not pay enough attention to some installation details, it can easily cause the performance of explosion-proof cameras to be compromised.
For example, when we install an explosion-proof camera, we'd better avoid some locations with more complicated light-receiving positions while meeting the needs. Otherwise, if our fixed-focus explosion-proof camera always faces the strong light of some vehicles, then we are destined to make the necessary choice between higher wide dynamic effects or blurry images. It will also end up causing us some extra expenses that could have been avoided.
Of course, in addition to avoiding the impact of light, some small advantages other than the camera capabilities of explosion-proof cameras can also be fully utilized in our installation choices.
For some white light explosion-proof cameras that use white light for night vision monitoring, if we place them in some darker but more sensitive management areas, in addition to their white light achieving some limited illumination, more often than not, their obvious lighting equipment will also play a deterrent effect on the surroundings, and this deterrent is sometimes more effective than ordinary patrols.
However, for some devices with weak light adaptability or no infrared function, we need to place them in a brighter environment. In addition to making up for the shortcomings in light processing, it can also well avoid the adverse effects of strong through-reflective light on the device.
Explosion-proof camera The installation posture determines the working effect
In addition to the location of the installation, the posture selection of the explosion-proof camera also determines the focus of the explosion-proof camera's working performance to a certain extent.
For example, if we choose to install an explosion-proof camera at a horizontal angle, its advantage is that it can clearly see the details of some people or objects. As the flexibility of the current PTZ continues to improve, it can also more broadly capture some details that are difficult to discover with other fixed-point explosion-proof cameras, improving the monitor's grasp of details. However, this type of installation method is a very big sacrifice for the concealment of the explosion-proof camera. In addition, it is also more susceptible to the impact of peripheral light on the imaging quality of the explosion-proof camera. Therefore, for such an installation, the light adaptability of the explosion-proof camera cannot be ignored.
For many surveillance environments, the overhead angle is the most commonly used working posture for explosion-proof cameras. Concealment, good macroscopic observation effect, and not easily disturbed by light are the biggest features of this installation method. However, its disadvantage lies in the sacrifice of details. And in order to achieve the best shooting effect, its installation height must also be strictly controlled. However, for some gas stations or coal mines, this installation method may achieve many unexpected results.
In addition to these two installation postures, looking up is also a reference solution. However, this method has high requirements for the light adaptability of the explosion-proof camera, and it also has strict restrictions on protection. Therefore, there are very few such installation modes, so we will not go into details.
In fact, in many cases, our grasp of some details can more or less affect the performance of the equipment. And when we pay attention to these details and use them flexibly, some performance deficiencies may be made up for in a simpler and more economical way.
