Stainless steel cameras have been introduced by Oncam which says they are resistant to high pressure water jets, dust and vandalism. They offer a 360-degree video stream and are available in 5MP and 12MP versions.

The company says the Revolution IP cameras are designed for users who need resilience and must comply with strict regulations, such as those in food processing, industrial and chemical plants, vehicle wash stations and ports.

Powered by an Ethernet connection or 12V DC, Oncam says that, unlike PTZ (pan-tilt-zoom) cameras, the Revolution models are silent with no motors or gears and can replace two or more conventional fixed cameras.

Both can be fitted to ceilings – at a minimum height of 2m – or walls and, Occam suggests, can also be mounted on a flat surface for uses such as inspecting systems or viewing the undersides of vehicles. Pendant mounting is also available.

The fisheye lens produces a spherical image which, the company says, can be converted by dewarping software into a flat view. In addition, software can also convert the image into a double 180-degree panoramic view.

Oncam says the cameras can be networked with other cameras, as well as other technologies, and images can also be viewed via the company’s free mobile app, OnVu360.
