Oncam, a 360-degree video product company, has added the Stainless Steel camera model to its Evolution 12 and Evolution 05 camera lines. The makers say that their Evolution Stainless Steel camera opens up new possibilities in the more extreme camera applications that require heavy wash-down or resistance to corrosion.
The camera has an IP69K rating, the highest protection rating available against weather, water and dust, plus an IK10 rating against vandalism. It can be washed with high-pressure jets of more than 1,000psi at up to 80 degrees Celsius, enabling them to withstand demanding uses, such as in food processing areas, industrial and chemical plants, vehicle wash stations, ports and marine applications. The makers add that the material and design make the camera a complement to prestige architecture.
The Stainless Steel models offer the same features of the Evolution 05 and Evolution 12 camera series, but enclosed in a stainless steel housing. This enclosure is made primarily from electropolished marine grade stainless steel 316, which is the firm says suited for use in harsh sites, thanks to resistance to corrosion caused by salt spray.
Justin Wheatley, VP Product Management at Oncam, said: “The Evolution Stainless Steel camera series brings unrivaled possibilities to environments with stringent sanitation requirements, and adds diversity to our already robust line of 5MP and 12MP cameras. The Stainless Steel cameras provide our customers with a highly attractive camera with exceptional protection from the elements, while offering the same innovative technology for which Oncam has become known.”
The Stainless Steel models debuted during the ASIS 2016 and Security Essen 2016 exhibitions in the US and Germany respectively. At the recent Safety & Security Asia 2016 event in Singapore, the Evolution 12 Stainless Steel won the Gold Award in the Surveillance Camera Category of the Merlion Awards.
