Dräger MetCam Gas Camera
Product Overview
The Dräger MetCam is an explosion-proof gas camera able to continuously monitor large areas for potential hazards such as methane leaks and fugitive emissions. The MetCam automatically determines the source of the leak and quantifies the intensity using advanced algorithms. It also transmits alarms via analog 4–20mA/HART or RS485 Modbus. Visualization is via Ethernet or Wi-Fi.
Unlike with point detectors, the gas source doesn’t need to be in the immediate area of the camera. When the source is within the field of view of the camera, the MetCam is able to detect leaks and provide timely warnings. This gives facilities time to react, increasing the safety and efficiency of the facility as a whole.
The camera independently recognizes if the optics are dirty or covered, and alerts you accordingly. This reduces false alarms and ensures that your system is ready for use.
