IP Network Thermal IR Security Cameras

Thermal IR, Thermal Infrared or also called a Thermal Imaging type of IP Network Security Cameras are a unique type of surveillance camera that include a specialized Image Sensor. This specialized Thermal IR image sensor is a type of sensor that rather than detecting visible light like typical cameras instead detects the thermal or heat signature of all objects in a scene. This is similar to a typical camera in that the devices sensor data is converted into a visual image, however the appearance and very capabilities of this type of imaging are dramatically different than that of your typical video. The Thermal Infrared Security Camera is known for its high-end detection capabilities in all types of challenging conditions, it overcomes all lighting related hurdles as it doesn't rely on lighting and further it has a unique ability to peer deeper through challenging environmental conditions like fog, dust, smoke, snow, rain or even foliage. A2Z Security Cameras has an excellent selection of all types of Thermal IR equipped security cameras, from fixed to PTZ and more.

IP Network Thermal IR Security Cameras are an ideal choice for various specialized applications as well as practically any security application looking to step up detection and protection. Thermal Imaging Security Cameras are available in a variety of styles including devices that feature the thermal Infrared Camera only to those packaging multiple technologies such as visible camera and potentially more into a single device. The modern Thermal IR IP Camera like all other Pro IP Cameras grant a variety of the latest cutting-edge features be it A.I. powered event detection, multiple streaming compression methods like H.264 or H.265, added local storage or I/O connectivity to name a few. These unique cameras can sometimes be referred to with names like Dual Imager, Dual Spectrum, Dual or Multi-Sensor when paired with other sensors, most commonly a visible image sensor. Any of these types of security cameras that include a Thermal Imager will generally offer only standard definition or low-resolution imaging, for one due to cost and more importantly also due to government restrictions on higher performing units. A2Z promotes what might be referred to as ITAR-FREE or NON-ITAR or none restricted models with specifications designed for commercial use. Higher end ITAR restricted models may be available, but strictly to authorized buyers.

More about Thermal Imaging IP Security Cameras:
Thermal Infrared Network Security Cameras utilize what is called a microbolometer thermal imaging sensor as opposed to a traditional visible camera which use CCD or CMOS sensors. These Thermal IR devices like other camera technologies can have differences in sensors and all sorts of specifications, with terms like Short Wave, Mid-Wave and Long-Wave or Cooled and Uncooled as a few common examples. The Sensors Size and Resolution, sensitivity and equipped lens all combine to what can be major differences in performance. Fortunately, many Thermal Cameras provide scales like DORI (Detection, Observation, Recognition, Identification) clearly indicating the maximum distance of achieving these functions per a particular configuration. Most ITAR-Free, NON-ITAR or commercially available Thermal Cameras will include resolutions like 4CIF / VGA / D1, 2CIF or even CIF, yet despite these resolutions not even approaching that of the modern security camera, with thermal imaging these devices still provide powerful tools at these resolutions that can demand often a much higher cost for higher level of security and surveillance than your typical camera.

Thermal equipped IP Network Security Cameras:
Today there are more Thermal IR options available to the general market than ever before. Products including Bullet or Turret style designs to a variety of Pan-Tilt-Zoom types are all readily available. The devices can be popular in general fixed sites, remote sites, mobile or vehicle applications to portable or tactical solutions and more. Regardless of resolution, even a thermal camera and visible camera of the same resolution in the same scene will produce distinctly different pictures. Thermal Video or Images produced generally use high contrast colors such as light colors for hotter objects and dark colors for cooler objects or other color combinations as well as black and white or grayscale modes to differentiate between heat levels in the scene.

The resolution of a thermal camera certainly however can make a major impact on its effectiveness for different applications. Units featuring a higher resolution will clearly be able to perform better and so pricing is often likewise reflected respectively between resolutions levels. Thermal Cameras often also have a more telephoto lens, but this isn't always the case as it can likewise depend on the type or style of camera it is. Fixed Cameras like Bullets, Turrets or otherwise may instead employ fixed wide angles whereas PTZ thermal IR cameras will usually feature telephoto including motorized zoom lenses on the most advanced options. Like any security camera the lens determines the field of view and the application will determine the best suited lens.

IP Thermal IR Security Camera use has only expanded as the years pass. Their potential being employed in a vast range of projects or missions even beyond security or surveillance. Of course, Fire, Rescue, Law Enforcement, Border Patrol, Emergency Management to Coast Guard is only a few of the professional fields or agency types that regularly use such technologies. However, their use is likewise as common at sites like Oil & Power facilities, major infrastructure including Ports, Airports or plenty other high security sites. The devices have even been widely employed during the recent pandemic in order to detect fever and can often be employed for various specific applications like inspection to fire detection.
