Pelco EXPE2-2X30-SPT-IRM1F 2MP PTZ IR Camera

Overview

The EXPE2-2X30-SPT-IRM1F is a 2MP pan-tilt-zoom infrared camera purpose-built for explosion-proof and hazardous-location surveillance where darkness and corrosive environments are permanent conditions. The unit delivers up to 200m IR illumination (850nm) in total darkness without auxiliary lighting, paired with a 4.3–129mm varifocal lens (30x optical zoom) and remote focus/zoom control for continuous detail capture across expansive perimeters. H.265 and H.264 compression with smart bitrate optimization reduce storage overhead in multi-camera deployments. WDR (Wide Dynamic Range) handles mixed lighting—critical when scenes transition from sun-blasted dock doors to shaded loading bays. NEMA TS2 (Type 4X and 6P) certification plus IP66/IP67 protection guarantee function in corrosive marine and industrial settings, extreme temperature swings (-40°C to +70°C), and high-pressure wash-down environments. This is the camera for refinery perimeters, offshore platforms, chemical plants, and any site where standard commercial PTZ units corrode or fail certification.

Compatibility

The EXPE2-2X30-SPT-IRM1F integrates with third-party VMS platforms via ONVIF compliance (Profile S, T, G, and M). Standard RJ45 (CAT5E cabling) supports conventional network deployments; the built-in SFP slot enables fiber-optic connectivity for electrically noisy industrial sites or long-distance runs exceeding standard copper limits. Hazardous-location certifications (UL, CSA, ATEX, IECEx, EACEx, KCs, UKEx, INMETRO) meet regional explosion-proof and dust-ignition-proof mandates. Lloyd's Register Marine Type Approval qualifies the unit for maritime and shipping sector deployments. Any VMS supporting ONVIF and basic PTZ protocol (pan, tilt, zoom, focus) can command the camera; no proprietary software required.

Installation Notes

Mounting options include wall, ceiling, pole, corner, and rack configurations—select the orientation that minimizes corrosion exposure and maximizes zoom coverage of the protected zone. The 77 lbs form factor (453mm × 232mm × 398mm) requires secure mechanical fastening; verify structural load capacity before installation. Stainless-steel (AISI 316L) construction with micro-shot, electro-polished surfaces resists salt spray and chemical residue—do not use standard steel brackets or fasteners. Operating temperature range (-40°C to +70°C) exceeds typical commercial equipment; verify site conditions are within spec before commissioning. The integrated fiber SFP slot is an optional convenience; standard copper RJ45 is the default connectivity path.
