Thermal CCTV images. Just fantastic

Thermal CCTV is the ultimate tool for central stations. It is also the ultimate tool for end users who a) want to reduce crime and b) want to reduce costs.

By using a combination of thermal CCTV and central station monitoring solutions the on site aspect of  security can be removed saving many thousands of pounds a year for the end user and allowing manned guarding to be re-deployed to more effect.

Thermal CCTV and white light deterrent all in one Predator CCTV camera

The growth in Thermal CCTV is exciting. We know this technology will only get cheaper now as more camera manufacturers bring thermal CCTV to the market place. One UK CCTV manufacturing company though are already streets ahead. 360 vision Technology have the Thermal Predator camera, a brilliant design and a camera making headlines within the industry. Now however we have thermal CCTV combined with a fantastic deterrent feature………. its called the white light Predator camera.

White light Predator camera
By combining Thermal with white light, operators are able to track potential intruders with thermal technology before capturing video and deterring the intrusion by switching to white light. It really needs to be seen to truly appreciate the potential of this product.
We can however tell you that you wont be disppointed. This is one product that once seen is never forgotten and if you specify or sell CCTV products it is must have on your portfolio.

Thermal CCTV
Thermal CCTV is here

360 vision say “Utilising the Super Bright White Light LED from the Predator Dual IR & White Light, we can now offer Thermal, White Light and Ultra low light Analogue in one, unique unit!
With Predator Thermal WL, White Light LED will illuminate to distances of 50m, turning low or zero light images into sharp and vivid full video colour images!”

FLIR thermal CCTV cameras.New version now available

FLIR thermal CCTV cameras

Thermal CCTV imaging cameras as we have mentioned before on this site are the next generation of security and surveillance applications.


FLIR Systems are launching a new version of thermal CCTV imaging cameras.

Despite the success of the old SR-Series the new camera FLIR claim is even better although they still look the same from the outside, all SR-Series come with a new thermal imaging core that will allow the end user to view even farther distances than before. This means that users can now detect targets at greater distance for the same price. Sounds like a good deal to us!


The SR-Series are using the most advanced thermal imaging technology available on the market today. The FLIR thermal CCTV camera is capable of producing crisp 320 x 240 pixels thermal images.

In the new thermal CCTV camera more pixels allow the user to see more detail and to detect smaller objects than before. Remember of course with thermal CCTV the camera provides high quality thermal imaging in any night- or daytime environmental conditions.


FLIR have produced the camera with several different lens options as follows:

– SR-124: 9 mm lens – Field of view: 24° (H) x 20° (V)

– SR-117: 13 mm lens – Field of view: 17° (H) x 14° (V)

– SR-112: 19 mm lens – Field of view: 12° (H) x 10° (V)

Or with the larger imaging cell

– SR-348: 9 mm lens – Field of view: 48° (H) x 39° (V) – SR-334: 13 mm lens – Field of view: 34° (H) x 28° (V)

– SR-324: 19 mm lens – Field of view: 24° (H) x 19° (V)

– SR-313: 35 mm lens – Field of view: 13° (H) x 10° (V)

– SR-309: 50 mm lens – Field of view: 9° (H) x 7° (V)

– SR-304: 100 mm lens – Field of view: 4.6° (H) x 3.7° (V)


The range of the FLIR thermal CCTV cameras is astonishing with the right lens in place of course the camera can detect a man sized object at a range of up to 2 KM this gives the camera enormous potential in a market place that is looking for quality and costs savings. Imagine how many analogue cam areas it would take to cove a similar distance?


About thermal imaging

Also we need to think about the other benefits of thermal CCTV camera remember thermal imaging cameras produce images of invisible infrared or “heat” radiation. Based on temperature differences between objects, so fog dust and even water is no barrier when an image is required. In contrast with other technologies, such as light amplification, thermal imaging needs no light to produce an image on which the smallest of details can be seen. It can see in total darkness, in the darkest of nights, in the far distance, and is able to detect anyone hiding in the shadows. It is has many uses including security and surveillance, maritime, automotive, fire fighting and many other applications.

So FLIR thermal CCTV are no appearing in day to day scenarios , no longer are these cameras beyond the budget of a normal business its not just the military and police that can afford them. We will be keeping our eye on the progress of this camera but consider that sales will be strong.

External security systems.Perimeter protection

External security has been on the rise for the last 25 years. A discipline that was previously only seen in high security and military installations is now common place. Used in garages, compounds, garden centres, quarries and so on,everyone wants to know before an intruder can do any damage.

So what is the best detection device? Well, a mixture of different technologies can work. PIRs external fixed beams and cameras using enhanced analytics to name a few. Geoquip guard wire and other external listening devices are also effective against the intruders.

Thermal Metal Mickey
Metal MIC

We however believe that the ultimate solution is now becoming an affordable option .Thermal CCTV is pretty much full proof technology one that gives an image that can be used day and night even in total darkness. It cant be defeated by fog and intelligent analytics integrated with the thermal CCTV camera mean nothing is missed.

Cost of course is a factor but one thermal camera can realistically see up to 750 metres meaning it far out performs even the best active beams on the market and the installation time and cabling costs are drastically reduced.

Thermal CCTV will become as common as PIRs are today over the next ten to fifteen years and as the prices become more affordable it will change the way we install external security and protect our perimeters.

The poor old intruder has finally met his match.

MIC series 412 thermal camera

So the Metal mickey has gone thermal. The new MIC series 412 thermal camera has hit the market place.

The camera is a high quality thermal solution designed to to offer the very best performance in security operations that go beyond the standard CCTV solutions

The camera has been precision engineered to provide dual optical/thermal images and has been designed to be installed in areas that offer harsh environments that require a ruggedized solution.

The metal mickey camera contains two camera modules the first produces day/ night images of the highest quality , while the second is the 412 thermal imaging module that will work in total darkness and provide information that is impossible to glean from any other solution.

The MIC 412 offers advanced viewing options such as spectral heat variance and hot and cold spot highlights.

The thermal Metal Mickey camera is compatible with all the bracketry and ancillary items within the MIC range making it easy to supply upgrade opportunities and retro fitting

In summary the main benefits include

The integrated wiper unit

The dual camera option

Robust and precision design

Brush less motor technology.

As you can imagine the solution is not cheap but there are always times when security needs will mean this camera will need to be specified in order satisfy certain scenarios.
