The published Pelco documentation identifies EXC266204T as the 6 MP ExSite Enhanced 2 compact model with a 4.9–8 mm lens, 6× zoom, analytics, WDR, IP66/67/68/69 protection, and a 4 m armored cable.
Imaging Performance
The EXC266204T provides a 6-megapixel image sensor designed to deliver detailed surveillance imagery for industrial and security applications. The 4.9–8 mm lens provides a variable field of view, allowing the camera to be adapted to different installation distances and monitoring requirements.
The integrated 6× optical zoom allows operators to adjust the viewing angle and obtain greater detail from areas of interest without relying exclusively on digital enlargement.
Wide Dynamic Range
The camera incorporates Wide Dynamic Range (WDR) technology to improve image quality in scenes containing significant differences between bright and dark areas. This is particularly useful in industrial installations where strong lighting, sunlight, shadows, or high-contrast environments can otherwise reduce the visibility of important details.
SureVision Technology
Pelco’s SureVision technology is incorporated into the camera to enhance image quality and provide improved video performance under challenging lighting conditions. This makes the EXC266204T suitable for professional surveillance applications where consistent image quality is important.
Video Analytics
The EXC266204T supports integrated Pelco Smart Analytics, enabling supported analytics functions to be performed at the camera level. Available analytics capabilities in the ExSite Enhanced 2 platform include functions such as Leave Area, Object Stops in Area, Direction Violated, and Sabotage Detection.
These capabilities can help security operators detect specific events and reduce the amount of video that needs to be actively monitored by personnel.
Pelco Smart Compression
The camera supports Pelco Smart Compression, which is designed to reduce bandwidth and storage requirements while maintaining useful image quality. This feature can be particularly beneficial in large-scale surveillance systems where multiple high-resolution cameras are transmitting video continuously.
Hazardous-Area Design
One of the primary characteristics of the EXC266204T is its explosion-proof construction. The camera is designed for use in hazardous locations where explosive gases, vapors, or combustible dust may be present.
The published certification information identifies the EXC266204T under the Ex db IIB T6…T5 Gb gas protection marking and Ex tb IIIC T85°C…T100°C Db dust protection marking for the applicable certification configurations.
This makes the camera suitable for specialized surveillance applications in industries such as oil and gas, petrochemical processing, chemical manufacturing, energy production, and other hazardous industrial environments.
Hazardous Location Certifications
The EXC266204T is listed with hazardous-location certifications including:
- ATEX
- IECEx
- UKEx
- INMETRO
- EAC
- TS Mark
The published Pelco specification identifies DEMKO 17 ATEX 1823X and IECEx ULD 17.0002X among the certification references associated with this model family.
Certification Marking
The applicable hazardous-area marking is specified as:
Ex db IIB T6…T5 Gb
Ex tb IIIC T85°C…T100°C Db
The exact permitted temperature classification depends on the applicable operating conditions and certification configuration.
Environmental Protection
The ExSite 2 compact platform is designed for demanding outdoor and industrial conditions. The model family provides IP66, IP67, IP68, and IP69 environmental protection, helping protect the camera against dust, water ingress, and high-pressure water exposure.
This level of protection makes the camera suitable for installations where equipment may be exposed to rain, dust, industrial contaminants, and other harsh environmental conditions.
Operating Temperature
The published certification information specifies an ambient operating range of approximately:
-40°C to +65°C or +70°C, depending on the applicable certification and operating configuration.
Cable-entry temperature limits are specified up to +83.2°C at an ambient temperature of ≤ +65°C and +88.2°C at an ambient temperature of ≤ +70°C.
