Thermal Imaging CCTV Cameras let people see what their eyes can’t, invisible heat radiation emitted by all objects regardless of lighting conditions. Modern technology allows you to have enhanced optical zoom whilst tracking heated targets, meaning you can locate, pinpoint and follow your intruder in their movements.
Some of the greatest benefits of Thermal Imaging CCTV Cameras come in the domain of security. Security cameras have become a staple of protection for many (if not all) major businesses across the country, and in such a landscape, the need to produce quality images is critical to provide constant protection against potential intruders.
Thermal Imaging CCTV Cameras are a very affordable option for many businesses that want to ensure they have the best security and protection solution on the market today. The total cost of ownership of a security system with thermal imaging cameras is, in general, much lower than a CCTV security system. For example, due to their incredible range performance, fewer thermal imaging cameras are required on projects than would be needed with the use of visible cameras. Additionally, most cameras cannot see beyond 200 meters at night and require supplementary lighting, which can be very costly in itself to install and maintain. See more benefits below.
When cameras monitor the perimeter of a building, they often must deal with low light scenarios (for example, during nighttime hours). This is an area in which Thermal Imaging CCTV Cameras can truly shine.
Visible cameras, much like our eyes, often have trouble seeing through naturally occurring visual obscurants that block reflected light. However, because thermal radiation passes through these visual barriers, Thermal Imaging Cameras can see what is going on where visible cameras cannot.
Regular cameras that capture only visible light can be fooled, in some cases, by visual camouflage or in situations where similar colors or patterns blend together. This can make objects or people that need to be detected unobservable.
Thermal imaging cameras often prove cost-effective in a business protection scenario, because they help reduce the number of false alarms. This is accomplished using advanced analytics software that can perform at its highest caliber with the high contrast images and video that thermal provides.
“Our company has benefited from Thermal Imagery CCTV immensely, causing us to prosecute two attempted night-time robberies successfully. Thank you, FLR Fire & Security.”
