Thermal cameras are used in industrial manufacturing, revolutionizing equipment health protocols. In surveillance monitoring, they enhance threat detection, improving safety and security.
The KT100 Industrial Module monitors and collects asset health data from remote sites. Thermal monitoring mitigates the risks of failure from overheating assets and connection points. Analytics detect anomalies and provide automatic warnings. The visual camera provides situational awareness in remote locations. Product sheet…
Detection of Heat Signatures: Thermal cameras can detect heat emitted by objects, allowing for the identification of invisible heat patterns and anomalies.
Industrial Maintenance: Thermal cameras are used in industries for predictive maintenance. They identify overheating components, preventing potential equipment failures.

In today’s heightened security environment, around the clock intrusion detection is imperative. Thermal imaging solutions answer the call twenty-four hours a day in any weather condition. Because thermal imaging detects energy emitted from all objects without the need of visible light, intruders can be unveiled day or night, through smoke, fog, sand, rain, and snow. These camera systems attach to your network using a built-in Camera Encoder Server, making it very easy to deploy, control and operate.
These thermal Imaging Systems integrate easily into all site security solutions. We offer several different system controllers, including the more popular protocols. The open architecture makes it easy to integrate customizes protocols to meet individual needs.
The thermal camera systems are custom configured to your exact requirements. Models include short, medium and long-range systems. All these models are available with network connections so they can be integrated with other IP cameras.

Custom made long-range night-vision cameras are available. These cameras can be selected with both thermal and optical cameras. Models can also be selected with adaptive IR illumination. Take a look at our long-range night-vision camera systems.
Contact us for more details about all the models available. We have military grade and commercial grade thermal imaging cameras available.
These Mil-Spec 810-F thermal imagers are available with 52 degree to 3 degree field of view. They can be mounted stand alone, paired with IR visual cameras or combined with a variety of positioners.
High performance optical IP cameras can be provided alongside the long-range thermal system, creating a very flexible system that operates day or night and in any weather.
Network attached IP cameras are very easy to deploy. They include H.264 compression and are compatible with our IP Video Recording Systems.
An optical IP camera with an IR illuminator projects light on a target, while thermal cameras use the thermal radiation from the source. The illuminator used with an IP camera uses “near” IR wavelengths 0.70–1.0 µm (700 nm – 1000 nm) to “illuminate” a dark scene. There are 850 nm (0.85 µm) and 940 nm (0.94 µm) IR illuminators available. The 850 nm versions are visible to the eye, while the 950 nm are invisible.
The thermal imaging camera uses the longer wavelength spectrum (8–15 µm). This thermal energy spectrum is actually emanating from the source (a warm body), rather than being “illuminated”. Standard IR illuminators have a range of up to 200 m, while laser IR illuminators have a range of up to 5000 m. Thermal cameras provide a much larger field of view, allowing you to detect a target in a much larger area. These can see through weather related obscurants or smoke, while IR illuminators can’t. Optical cameras with IR illuminators can provide more detail, allowing you to identify a person’s face at over 1 mile away (1.6 km). Take a look at our article for more information about Detection, Recognition, and Identification – Thermal vs. Optical IP Camera. There are cameras available that include both thermal and optical sensors, providing a very effective detection and recognition long range camera system.
Thermal cameras were originally called forward-looking infrared devices by the airforce. The F.L.I.R. acronym was generated by our US military when this technology was first utilized. Some of the first thermal imagers were mounted on the front of reconnaissance aircraft, hence the name forward-looking infrared or FLIR.
Thermal cameras have imaging devices that detect emitted infrared wavelengths. Simply put, all objects that are above absolute 0º constitute molecular movement. This molecular movement produces energy or “heat.” The heat is emitted not in the visible spectrum but in the infrared spectrum, which is invisible to the human eye. Thermal imagers detect this emitted infrared energy and process the information electronically into a video or “visual” image so that we can “see” the emitted energy. Thermal imagers allow us to see objects in total darkness, see heat signatures left by hand or footprints and many other scenarios that we would not be able to normally “see” in the visual world.
