5MP AI, compact explosion-proof cameras integrating security, efficiency, and advanced analytics

Hanwha Vision, the global vision solution provider, has introduced a new compact and lightweight model for its T series explosion-proof cameras. Traditionally, explosion-proof cameras are heavy and bulky due to their robust construction, leading to challenges during installation processes. The TNO-C8083E features a remarkable 57% size reduction and a 32% weight reduction compared to the conventional camera, making it ideal for installation in complex and confined spaces that are challenging for larger cameras. This innovative design simplifies installation processes, as the lightweight nature of the TNO-C8083E minimizes the need for heavy lifting equipment and multiple personnel, thereby reducing total cost of ownership (TCO) and potential risks during high-location installations.

The TNO-C8083E is Hanwha Vision’s new compact 5MP AI-enabled explosion-proof bullet camera, marking it as the first AI model in our explosion-proof lineup. This powerful AI technology enables real time detection or classification of people and vehicles, enhancing video analytics accuracy by distinguishing objects from background elements such as trees and shadows. Additionally, the TNO-C8083E excels in generating metadata during operations, identifying object types (e.g., person, vehicle) to significantly improve forensic search capabilities. By streamlining post-event analysis, this camera saves time and resources, optimizing operational efficiency across diverse industries.

Despite its compact design, the TNO-C8083E maintains a wide range of explosion-proof certifications, including IECEx, ATEX, KCs (Korea), and JPEx (Japan), ensuring safe operation in hazardous locations. In addition to simplifying installation, the compact design of the T series supports a wide range of applications, including chemical plants, oil and gas refineries, pharmaceutical manufacturing facilities, mining operations, and power plants. In hazardous environments like power plants and oil & gas refineries, even routine operations carry the risk of explosions due to flammable materials or gases. Explosion-proof cameras, like the TNO-C8083E, play a vital role in ensuring safety and smooth operations by providing critical visual monitoring for security, process control, and fire prevention.

These cameras can be installed without glue or bonding, utilizing an explosion-proof cable gland that allows for flexibility across various environments. This adaptability ensures convenient installation without compromising safety. The TNO-C8083E features a unique cable gland design that simplifies the installation process. In environments requiring explosion-proof measures, an additional pipe can be used, further highlighting the flexibility and practicality of the TNO-C8083E in diverse and challenging conditions.*
