What is an industrial surveillance camera?
An industrial surveillance camera is specifically designed for demanding industrial environments where a reliable and durable monitoring solution is required. In these environments, cameras are often exposed to extreme weather conditions, dust, chemicals, and other hazardous elements. Therefore, industrial cameras are typically built using robust and weather-resistant materials, such as metal housings, to protect them from external damage.
Industrial surveillance cameras play a crucial role in process monitoring and maintaining security. They enable real-time surveillance and recording, helping to detect and address issues promptly. Our comprehensive selection of surveillance cameras includes cameras, recorders, monitors, and other essential components designed to meet the specific needs of industrial applications.
How does surveillance camera resolution affect the selection?
Resolution alone is not a decisive factor when selecting a surveillance camera—it should always be considered together with the camera’s optics. The combination of optics and resolution determines how sharp the image appears on the camera’s sensor and how it can be processed.
A higher resolution can be beneficial in situations where small details, such as license plates or human figures, need to be identified. However, higher resolution also requires more storage space and bandwidth, which can impact system costs and performance.
By selecting the right combination of resolution and optics, you can ensure the optimal image quality for your needs without unnecessary additional costs. Our product range includes cameras with different resolutions and optics suitable for both wide-area monitoring and detailed object surveillance.
What features should be considered for industrial use?
When selecting an industrial surveillance camera, several key features should be considered to ensure optimal performance and durability:
- IP rating: Defines the camera’s resistance to weather and dust. Cameras with a high IP rating are suitable for demanding industrial conditions.
- Temperature resistance: The camera should be selected based on the temperature conditions of the installation site to ensure reliable operation even in extreme environments.
- ATEX Certification: If the camera is used in hazardous areas with explosion risks, it must have an ATEX certification.
- Integration capability: The camera should be compatible with existing security and automation systems to ensure seamless operation.
- Intelligent analytics and alarm functions: Automated analytics features, such as motion detection and anomaly recognition, can enhance security and reduce manual monitoring efforts.

How do surveillance camera costs and budget impact the decision?
Cost and budget are key factors when selecting an industrial camera. When assessing costs, it is essential to consider not only the initial purchase price but also operational and maintenance costs, such as storage capacity, power consumption, and servicing needs.
A high-quality camera may initially seem like a more expensive investment, but in the long run, it can be more cost-effective due to its durability and lower maintenance requirements.
A professional needs assessment and cost estimation can help optimize the surveillance system to fit within the budget while ensuring that it meets actual needs without unnecessary expenses.
