Axis protects high-risk environments with new explosion-proof cameras

Built with stainless steel housings 316 Ⅰ, these new network video surveillance devices deliver full HDTV resolution images in hazardous environments, such as the oil and gas sectors, as well as areas with adverse climate changes, such as maritime areas and naval applications, or with a lot of dust, as in the textile and paper industry.

We've joined forces with Oxalis Group to create something unique".
