Well I thought of that. Bosch Gen 3 cameras had a pressurized model we used,
but I haven't gotten a good answer from the rep on a Gen 4 equivalent model.
I was going for at least one VG4-524-ETE1R model. I was not worried about
"needing" explosion proof housing since I don't think it would be an issue
(with the Aiphone LED and maglocks and strikes etc already there) in the
area of deployment. However if there was an accidental release of something
nasty from the refining area, without a pressurized dome the gas could enter
the sensitive areas of the camera dome and cause problems.
