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 – really will be the BUZZ word this year!

Thermal CCTV but why?

Thermal CCTV
Thermal CCTV is here

Take a look at the news at the moment – there is an awful lot of political unrest around the world right now…….and that generally increases awareness for crime, violence and potential terrorism threats!

So what is so good about Thermal CCTV? Well, Thermal does not need light…….in fact, it does not need any light at all…………. So, in areas of black outs or darkness, Thermal imaging is amazing at creating crystal clear images in zero light and at distance.

Distance?

Yep, Thermal CCTV can provide movement detection of an object at over 700m………it can even recognise the type of movement (human, car etc) at over 100m……all in zero light

So, airports, borders, ports, electricity plants, sewerage plants, gas, oil, water treatment – in fact, anything that could potentially be a gateway for terrorist activity is able to benefit from Thermal Imaging

Many manufacturers are jumping on the Thermal CCTV bandwagon – some even choosing to develop Thermal solutions ahead of HD or megapixel – Flir, Bosch, 360 Vision etc

Just take a look at forthcoming exhibitions and shows such as IFSEC and ISC ……….. watch out for the latest solutions and you will no doubt find that Thermal Imaging CCTV is well up on most manufacturers list of developments!

FLIR PT-series thermal IP cameras

FLIR release new range.

The popularity of thermal imaging cameras has increased steadily in recent times as the CCTV security industry find more and more applications for them.With the advent of IP and analytics, together with a reduction in cost, means that suddenly solutions exist that were not there before.

The new FLIR PT-Series.

 The new FLIR PT-Series has been specifically aimed at this market place. Programmable scan patterns and slew to alarms  gives this range of cameras some interesting extra features. The ability to see in total darkness and in any weather, along with easy integration to either analogue or TCP/networks are all valuable selling points.

More Pixels.

By incorporating a high resolution 640 x 480 pixel detector the camera can give up to 4 times the image clarity of previous cameras. It also gives better performance over longer ranges. More pixels mean more detail and the ability to detect smaller objects that would previously have been missed. This all comes with the savings that can be made when expensive lighting systems can be shelved.

On site repairs and upgrades.

Flir have also introduced the interchangeable camera cassette that allows you to upgrade existing FLIR cameras. This can be done in the field and takes only a few minutes, keeping installers and end users happy and no break in camera coverage while the unit is returned to the factory.

Conclusion.

It would appear FLIR are now developing their cameras to fit more and more into security applications in the commercial market place. This has been achieved with more competitively priced cameras that come with more choice of lens size and more built in features.
