MCE – MRC 3G Low Power Remote Camera
Meteor Communications Product Development with AGL Automation www.aglautomation.com (UK based sister company to Extech)
The MCE-MRC-EX is powered by MeteorCloud™ – A ‘one stop’ end user application for complete data visualisation, outstation device control and reporting activities MCE-MRC-EX
Our Remote monitoring Cameras deliver high quality real time images from Hazardous Area Locations where data connections are not readily available.
These cameras are used in locations to check the status of a location or process to save sending personnel to visually inspect for example to check for blockages/choke points in water utilities locations. Due to the GSM communication path there’s no additional infrastructure (such as Wi-Fi for webcams and wiring/monitors etc for CCTV) necessary.
The GSM antenna can be remote or enclosure mounted therefore allowing extreme flexibility and even for deployment underground or other areas without GSM coverage. This Ex version is housed in 316L stainless steel enclosure.
Features Include:
• 3G / GPRS / GSM
• Direct Mount or remote mount Antenna (Simple Apparatus for Ex certification)
• Robust IP67 Enclosure
• Low Power
• 2 MegaPixel Sensor
• GPIO Connections
• Web enabled
• Internal Data storage
• Simple setup
• GPS Option

- World’s first 5G smartphone for ATEX and IECEx zone 1/21
i.safe MOBILE has launched the world’s first 5G smartphone for ATEX and IECEx zone 1/21. The intrinsically safe mobile device, which was also developed for use in 5G campus networks, offers companies great flexibility thanks to its wide range of possible applications, especially in the automation sector.
- Functional and compatible intrinsically safe loop approvals
With all the focus on IS loop approval, it is easy to forget to check that the loop will function correctly to see whether the field device has sufficient power (voltage & current) to operate over the full process range.
- Mobile devices in hazardous areas
The intention of this paper is to outline the basic requirements for designing and manufacturing an IS mobile device. What are the risks and what do the standards say? This will explain why IS mobile devices are more expensive than standard rugged devices.
