Frequently Asked Questions

What makes IP69K rating superior to IP68 for heavy-duty applications?

IP69K is the highest ingress protection rating, providing maximum protection against high-pressure water jets up to 1450 PSI and temperatures up to 80°C, making it ideal for steam cleaning operations and high-pressure wash-down environments. While IP68 protects against water submersion, IP69K additionally withstands high-pressure cleaning typical in commercial vehicle, construction equipment, and food processing vehicle applications where regular high-pressure washing is required.

How does the 145° diagonal viewing angle benefit wide-angle applications?

The FHD20's expansive 145° diagonal viewing angle with 125° horizontal coverage provides significantly broader field of view compared to standard cameras, capturing adjacent lanes, loading dock approaches, equipment positioning, and peripheral obstacles that standard 110° cameras cannot see. This wide-view angle is particularly beneficial for reversing large commercial vehicles, monitoring blind spots on construction equipment, or providing comprehensive perimeter visibility on agricultural machinery.

Can this camera handle extreme Australian weather conditions?

Yes, the FHD20 features IP69K protection and operates across -20°C to 70°C temperature range, handling extreme Australian conditions including intense summer heat, tropical humidity, dust storms, heavy rain, high-pressure washing, and freezing temperatures in alpine regions. The heavy-duty construction ensures reliable operation in demanding commercial and industrial applications where standard cameras would fail.

Why is the integrated microphone important for commercial applications?

The built-in microphone enables audio monitoring alongside visual observation, allowing operators to hear warning calls from ground personnel during loading operations, reversing beepers from nearby equipment, verbal directions from spotters, hydraulic system sounds indicating mechanical issues, or environmental warnings like approaching vehicles that visual monitoring alone cannot detect, providing complete situational awareness critical for workplace safety.

What is the advantage of 18 infrared LEDs versus standard cameras?

The FHD20's 18 infrared LED array provides significantly more powerful night vision illumination compared to cameras with 4-8 LEDs, delivering clear visibility across wider areas during night-time operations, underground mining environments, covered loading docks, or unlit work sites. The increased LED count ensures even illumination distribution without dark spots or hotspot glare typical of lower LED count cameras.
