Analysis of the Reasons for Impeding the Rapid Development of Explosion Protection

With the gradual improvement of people's safety awareness, the field of application of explosion-proof cameras should theoretically become wider and wider. However, in fact, the amount of explosion-proof cameras is not very large. What is the reason for this?

Explosion-proof camera costs relatively high

The price of an explosion-proof camera is a lot higher than that of an ordinary camera with the same parameters. Domestic engineering companies and users do not have a high degree of acceptance of these high-priced products. They still need time to cultivate and change their consumer attitudes and awareness, which greatly restricts the popularity of explosion-proof cameras. The author has learned that in the past two or three years, many former manufacturers of ordinary cameras have entered the field of explosion-proof cameras. Most of them have carried out product management in accordance with the mandatory requirements of explosion-proof cameras, but some companies have also used the name of “explosion-proof”. , Without the production and testing capabilities of explosion-proof equipment, lower product standards, thereby impacting the market at low cost. Because some engineering companies or Party A did not know enough about explosion-proof cameras, and some companies confused the concept of propaganda, making some projects purchase substandard products, and even caused severe consequences, whether it is for explosion-proof camera manufacturers. Engineering parties are incalculable losses. According to the cost of the explosion-proof camera, the problem of high price cannot be solved in a short time. When the explosion-proof camera is purchased, the price must be higher than that of the three. However, the premise is that the product is a product that passes the safety certification. Therefore, the engineering company is required to purchase the explosion-proof product. When you can not just look at the price, buy fake and shoddy security products, bring security risks to industrial production.

2. Insufficient awareness of the need for "explosion protection" by contractors and users

Explosion-proof camera is a special camera developed for the application of industrial television in the flammable and explosive field environment. Explosion-proof cameras are now widely used in petroleum, chemical, coal and scientific research, military and other countries, many industrial enterprises or research departments and other fields. In the various processes of experiment, production, processing, transportation and storage, it is often possible to leak and spill out a wide variety of flammable and explosive gases, liquids and various dusts and fibers. After these substances are mixed with air, It will become a mixture that is prone to exploding danger, and the places around it have also become explosion hazards of varying degrees. So it is necessary to use explosion-proof cameras. The use of ordinary surveillance cameras for these special production sites not only does not play a role in protection and monitoring, but may also cause explosions and endanger production safety. Therefore, the existence of explosion-proof cameras is still necessary in those special production centers. Therefore, manufacturers of explosion-proof equipment are required to explain the necessity of installing explosion-proof cameras at special production sites when engineers and users inquire about the specific conditions of explosion-proof cameras, and to guide contractors and users to purchase suitable explosion-proof products.

3. Explosion-proof cameras have a specific use environment

Explosion-proof cameras are generally not used in civilian monitoring systems. The general monitoring cameras of civil monitoring systems can meet their needs. Civilians can use cameras without explosion-proof performance. Explosion-proof cameras are generally used in relatively special production facilities. Now, for example, petroleum, chemical, etc. , mines, military, medicine, oil depots, ships, drilling platforms, gas stations, fireworks production, food processing and storage, etc. are widely used. A large part of this particular environment limits the widespread deployment of explosion-proof cameras. In the short term, explosion-proof cameras still cannot be used in a large number of applications in ordinary production facilities. It requires a process that is gradually accepted by the public. It is believed that with the continuous improvement of public security awareness, explosion-proof cameras In the near future, you can certainly make a big splash and enter millions of households.

4. The surrounding facilities are not explosion-proof

Even if an explosion-proof camera is not equipped with explosion-proof back-end equipment or professional construction, it will not be able to exert its explosion-proof effect. For example, the use of explosion-proof gimbals, or transmission wire exposure, etc., may present potential safety hazards. Therefore, it is required that when purchasing an explosion-proof camera, an engineering company can consult the explosion-proof manufacturer and purchase a set of explosion-proof monitoring equipment at the manufacturer's place. The true meaning is to meet the requirements of explosion-proof, and the explosion-proof camera is used for monitoring and explosion-proof, rather than causing an explosion accident or The explosion occurred when the accident occurred.

Summary: Although the above four factors will affect the popularity of explosion-proof cameras in the general industry, but in a number of specific places such as oil, chemicals, mines, military, pharmaceuticals, oil depots, ships, drilling platforms, gas stations, fireworks production, food There is still a large market for processing.
