The camera you bolt to something that moves
Most hazardous-area cameras are installed once and forgotten. This one is designed to be mounted on a vehicle or a temporary rig — 3 kg, a U-bracket, a single cable entry — so it can be moved between jobs without a lifting plan.
Built for relocation
At 3 kg it is the lightest unit in the range, and the published mounting is a U-shaped bracket that takes the housing from both sides. That is the pattern used on trucks, terminal tractors and portable lighting masts: bolt the bracket, drop the camera in, run one cable.
The optics are modest on purpose — 2 or 4 MP with 4, 6, 8 or 12 mm lens options and 30 m IR. A vehicle camera watches what is next to the vehicle, not the far end of a deck, so reach is not the requirement.
Where it is used
Tankers and terminals where a vehicle enters a classified zone and the driver needs to see the coupling; yards where a temporary camera is set up for a specific operation and taken down afterwards; survey and inspection work where the camera has to travel with the team rather than be installed permanently.
IP68 and the same Ex d IIC T6 Gb / Ex tD A21 marking as the fixed units mean it can be used in the same zones — the difference is the mounting, not the protection.
What to plan
Power and data on a moving platform: the camera needs a supply and a signal path that survive vibration, usually a single armoured run to a junction box on the vehicle. And the bracket is a mechanical interface to a vehicle that may already be certified — check with the vehicle's own certification before drilling.
Because it is light and the bracket is standard, this is also the unit that gets borrowed. Mark it, record its serial in the maintenance system, and treat the cable as part of the kit.

Specify it against these four points
- 3 kg with U-bracket — the lightest mounting in the range
- 2 or 4 MP, 4 / 6 / 8 / 12 mm lens, 30 m IR for near-field work
- IP68 and the same marking as the fixed cameras
- Check the vehicle's own certification before drilling the bracket
Buyer questions
Vehicle cameras
Can it be used as a temporary camera on deck?+−
That is the use case: light enough to move, bracket standard, one cable entry. For a permanent deck position a fixed or bullet camera is cheaper per unit.
Is a vehicle camera different from a fixed camera inside?+−
The published specification differs mainly in weight and mounting. Both are IP68 with the same marking — the vehicle unit is simply built to be carried rather than installed once.
What cable does it need?+−
A single G3/4 cable entry, as with the rest of the range. On a vehicle the run should be armoured and terminated in a junction box so the camera can be removed without disturbing the harness.
Does it need a wiper?+−
No wiper is listed for this model. On a vehicle the window is usually within reach for cleaning, which is why the wiper variants are the deck-mounted ones.
