BARTEC SP9EX1 Smartphone Cam version Intrinsically Safe Camera

Zone 0/21 ATEX camera system for hazardous area inspection and reporting, designed for sites where mobile phones are restricted.

Key highlights

  • Zone 0/21: Certified for use in Zones 0 and 1 hazardous gas environments
  • No SIM: Suitable for sites with strict no phone policies
  • Low light: Clear imaging in poorly lit industrial areas
  • PIXAVI upgrade: Modern successor to the BARTEC PIXAVI Cam
  • Built for inspection: Supports reporting, compliance and asset documentation

The BARTEC SP9EX1 Smartphone Cam version (also referred to as SP9 Ex1) is designed for safe image and video capture in Zone 0 and 1 hazardous areas, enabling reliable inspection, maintenance and compliance reporting across industrial environments.

Developed as the successor to the widely used BARTEC PIXAVI Cam, this next-generation ATEX camera system provides a clear upgrade path for operators requiring improved imaging performance and modern workflow capability in hazardous locations.

A key advantage of the SP9EX1 Cam Version is that it is supplied without SIM or telephony functionality. This makes it ideal for sites where mobile phones are restricted or prohibited, allowing engineers and inspectors to carry a fully compliant imaging device without introducing communication-related risks.

Engineered for use in oil and gas, offshore, marine, chemical and heavy industrial applications, the device delivers high-resolution image capture and 4K video capability, with strong low light performance to ensure clear, usable results in poorly lit process environments.

Built on a modern Android platform, the SP9EX1 Cam version supports inspection and reporting applications, enabling efficient data capture, transfer and documentation. This helps reduce manual reporting effort and improves operational efficiency across site teams.

Key Features

  • Zone 0/21 ATEX and IECEx certified: Approved for safe use in Zone 0 and 1 hazardous gas environments where compliance is critical.
  • No SIM or telephony functionality: Suitable for sites with strict no mobile phone policies, while still supporting compliant image capture and reporting.
  • Successor to the BARTEC PIXAVI Cam: Provides an upgrade path for existing users with enhanced performance and a modern platform.
  • Strong low light imaging performance: Delivers clearer visual documentation in poorly lit industrial areas such as offshore and enclosed process environments.
  • High-resolution image and 4K video capture: Supports accurate inspection, maintenance and compliance records.
  • Android-based platform: Enables use with inspection and reporting applications to support more efficient digital workflows.
  • Rugged industrial construction: Built for demanding oil and gas, marine, chemical and heavy industrial applications.
