Moog is debuting its new EXO explosion-proof HD camera system this week at ISC West 2014. Designing camera systems and housings to withstand extreme environments is nothing new for Moog. The company has been developing explosion-proof video surveillance products for the last 15 years; however, for the first time ever at this week’s ISC West show in Las Vegas, the company will be unveiling a first of its kind explosion-proof, high-definition camera system. According to Christopher Lindenau, director of global sales and marketing, sensor and surveillance systems at Moog, the new EXO network camera system is the first solution designed by the company to meet Underwriters Laboratories’ standards for Class I and II, Division 1 hazardous environments. “UL uses a division method when they’re classifying the risk associated with a hazardous environment. A hazardous environment could be an oil and gas facility, it could be a fertilizer plant, it could be petroleum refinement facility, the list goes on and on,” explained Lindenau. “Typically, people who have these environments or manage security for them, they know full well that they’re operating in a very hazardous environment, so these are the types of systems they search out.” Although Moog has had a Class I, Division 2 product, Lindenau said that until now, they’ve had to turn away customers seeking a solution to meet the more stringent demands of UL’s Division 1 standard.   “Our previous generation product really could not be installed inside of these extremely hazardous regions within the facility.
