316L stainless steel enclosures make cameras ideally suited for food and pharmaceutical processing

Industrial Video & Control (IVC) announced today a line of low-profile, stainless steel, IP cameras designed for challenging environments. The cameras can withstand water and chemical washdown processes often necessary with equipment used in food and pharmaceutical processing environments. The cameras deliver high-quality video and excellent performance in varying lighting conditions, at a low price point.

IVC’s MZ-HD34-1 and MZ-HD34-2 cameras enable manufacturers to carefully monitor operations and worker activity in areas that might be regularly sanitised.

The products” 316L stainless steel, IP68-rated enclosures are designed to withstand repeated exposure to potentially harsh cleaning products, ensuring continuous operation and process integrity. The cameras’ small profile makes them easy to deploy in small, tight spaces.

Both cameras include a 3X motorised zoom lens and support multiple streams and resolutions in MJPEG or H.264 codecs. The cameras are powered over Ethernet for easy installation on an IP network. The MZ-HD34-1 is housed in a fixed stainless steel dome while the MZ-HD34-2 is housed in a fixed, stainless steel bullet enclosure.

The cameras are fully supported by IVC video management software products.  IVC software can be used to integrate video and camera controls into SCADA HMI screens to give operators a clearer and more immediate picture of what’s happening with critical processes.

The software can automatically link event and historical process data to recorded video so personnel can easily track video of operations, and also can be used to record activity on operator workstations for troubleshooting, training, and process improvement.

IVC’s MZ-HD34-1 and MZ-HD34-2 cameras are shipping now.
