Pelco EXBE2-2X30QF18-SPT-ACG-1 2MP Explosion-Proof Bispectral PTZ Camera
The Pelco EXBE2-2X30QF18-SPT-ACG-1 is an ExSite Enhanced Bispectral 2 explosion-proof PTZ camera designed for hazardous-area surveillance where dual-spectrum imaging is critical. Combining a 2 MP visible imager with 30× optical zoom and a QVGA thermal channel (320×256), this unit delivers synchronized visible and thermal detection in a single certified platform. The 18 mm fixed thermal lens provides mid-range thermal coverage, while the 4.3–129 mm visible lens enables detailed identification across extended distances. Built from 316L stainless steel and certified to ATEX, IECEx, and UL standards for Zone 1 and Zone 21 environments, this camera meets the durability and safety requirements of oil, gas, chemical, and other hazardous-location applications.

- ONVIF Profile S, T, G, and M compliant
Compliance and Export Considerations
The "-1" suffix designates this model with a 9 fps thermal frame rate, ensuring compliance with ITAR and EAR export regulations. Thermal output is restricted to 9 Hz for international distribution. The camera holds ATEX, IECEx, and UL Explosion-Proof certifications and is NDAA Section 889 compliant. SPT mount with AC power input and expanded global certifications (ACG suffix) facilitate deployment across regulated markets.
Thermal and Visible Imaging Modes
Three independent detection capabilities operate in one unit: visible identification via the 2 MP imager, thermal detection for complete darkness or obscured conditions, and IR-assisted night imaging. The thermal channel excels in environments where visible light is unavailable or compromised by smoke, dust, or fog. Bispectral fusion mode aligns both streams for comprehensive situational awareness.
Recommended Applications
- Oil and gas facilities, refineries, and petrochemical plants
- Chemical processing and manufacturing sites
- Power generation and utility infrastructure
- Mining and extraction operations
- International hazardous-area projects requiring export-compliant imaging
Note: For unrestricted 30 Hz thermal operation and domestic use, specify the variant without the "-1" suffix. Verify end-user export classification before quoting. The QF18 thermal lens provides mid-range detection; consult the EXBE2 product family for alternate thermal focal lengths to match your coverage requirements.
