Which camera should I choose to install for ships, sea rafts with good anti-corrosion?

Currently, the demand for surveillance on ships and rafts is very large, but how to choose the camera equipment accordingly, with good durability and reasonable price? is it? Let’s find out and analyze it in the following article.

First, let’s learn about what stainless steel is and its application in Surveillance Camera:

1. What is 316L Stainless Steel?

• T316L stainless steel roughly understood as a layer of protective armor, covering the Camera and important side components, minimizing damage to the Camera. such as: impact, fall, etc.
• 316L stainless steel is an ultra-low Carbon version of 316 stainless steel alloy, also known as marine steel, which is The 2nd most common austenitic stainless steel after 304 / A2 stainless steel
• 316 stainless steel is an austenitic steel containing chromium-nickel and 3% molybdenum.
• Low Carbon helps 316L steel minimize harmful carbide precipitation, thus 316L stainless steel has maximum corrosion resistance.
• Main component. Its main components after iron are chromium, nickel and molybdenum with small amounts of silicon, phosphorus and sulfur also present

2. Application of 316L stainless steel

Today, 316L stainless steel is widely used in the production of surveillance cameras, meeting operations in harsh conditions such as: installation of sea and islands, drilling rigs, ships operating at sea. It helps to increase the life of the Camera, against the corrosion of salt water in the sea.

3. Which camera is good for anti-corrosion ships and rafts?

Currently, Camera manufacturers all have high-class anti-corrosion product lines, you can rest assured to use it without worrying about affecting the life of the device. However, because 316L Stainless Steel, the price is quite high.

If you have a low budget, another optimal choice is to install a plastic camera. Plastic housing has good corrosion resistance to salt water in the sea and is affordable.

This is a picture of a plastic camera installed after 2 years on a fishing boat:

You can see that, although it doesn’t look very smooth, it has really resisted the corrosion of salt water very well.

Through the above article, it helps you evaluate more objectively in choosing equipment as well as using needs.
