Thermal Camera Systems Applications

One of the biggest needs for a thermal camera in the COVID-19 pandemic is to efficiently screen for elevated skin temperatures.

Thermal imaging for people

These are available in a hand-held unit and stationary cameras designed to work at ranges up 23 feet.

The handheld thermographic camera is a good mobile screening solution with temperature measurement accuracy of ±0.9° F. The effective measurement distance
range is 3.3 to 6.6 ft., which can satisfy social distancing requirements when held in hand. Built-in audible and visual highlight alarms notify the operator when an elevated
temperature is detected. The camera can also be readily mounted on a tripod and remotely monitored over Wi-Fi using Hikvision's free desktop app or free mobile app.

The short, mid, and long-range cameras can be mounted on a tripod for a portable solution or affixed to a wall or ceiling for a long-term solution. The cameras can measure skin-surface temperature of up to 30 faces at one time, providing faster, more accurate screening. Additional features include face mask detection and automated voice alarms. Limiting temperature measurements solely to detected faces reduces false alarms from other heat sources such as a cup of coffee.

Additional Thermal Camera Applications

Agriculture

Agriculture

Various agricultural facilities, equipment, livestock, assets and grow areas need perimeter protection from predators, thieves and threat of fire. Performance Series Thermal cameras can easily detect and report these threats.

Commercial Buildings

Commercial Buildings

All types of commercial buildings can benefit from thermal, including office space, retailers, hotels, and special purpose. Bi-spectrum Performance Series Thermal technology can protect perimeters, parking lots, restricted areas, roofs, HVAC, and areas with potential fire risks. With better accuracy than traditional security solutions, staff and monitoring centers will only need to respond to relevant human, vehicle, temperature and fire-triggered alarms. Businesses can benefit from reduced security costs and losses, leading to increased profits.

Commercial Laundry

Commercial Laundry

There are more than 25,000 commercial laundry facilities in the U.S. Fires can be caused by lint in and around dryers, oil-contaminated cloth and auto-ignition of unattended laundry sacks in the middle of the night. Some facilities use handheld thermal cameras, which only help when someone is inspecting one item at a time. Fixed thermal cameras can monitor all hazard areas around the clock, and optimize prevention of damage and downtime.

Construction Sites

Construction Sites

Construction sites, and yards for salvage, scrap, impoundment and evidence are examples of fenced-in open areas containing building frames, tools, materials and other items that are often targeted by thieves and arsonists. These large areas are often dark at night, but this is not a problem for thermal cameras. Standard optical cameras cannot see very far at night, and they often have false alarms due to passing vehicle headlights. Thermal security cameras accurately and instantly detect perimeter break-ins, enabling security personnel to react swiftly to minimize loss. Bi-spectrum cameras are the best choice as they also provide additional identification and safety information for first responders.

Education

Education

K-12 schools have short-range perimeters that need protection, no-smoking rules that need enforcing, infrastructure that needs predictive maintenance and potential fires to prevent. Performance Series Thermal cameras can detect intruders, lit cigarettes, equipment temperature and fire. These accurate detection capabilities are key components of a complete security solution.

Gas Stations

Gas Stations

Gas stations usually have optical cameras watching the customers at the fuel pumps, but those cameras cannot detect dangerous and illegal cigarette smoking or fire. In addition to providing full HD color video, the Performance Series Thermal cameras have the special ability to detect fires and lit cigarettes. The camera can alert the station attendants to the danger for quick resolution.

Industrial Facilities

Industrial Facilities

Factories, warehouses, fulfillment centers, laboratories, data centers, and other industrial facilities need perimeter and restricted area protection, predictive maintenance for machinery, and fire prevention for equipment and materials. Performance Series Thermal cameras excel at these tasks.

Infrastructure

Infrastructure

Infrastructure such as power generation and distribution, water, recycling, and composting facilities, oil and gas wells, refineries and antenna sites benefit from short- range perimeter protection and advanced fire detection. Compost piles often ignite internally due to the self-generated heat. Lithium-ion batteries are commonly tossed into recycling bins and cause costly fires at recycling centers. Thermal cameras can detect temperature rises in electrical equipment, compost and recycling piles, helping to prevent fires or detect fires early.

Parking Lots

Parking Lots

Nearly all types of parking lots have a range of challenges including vandalism, theft, illegal parking, and stalking at malls, retail stores, commercial buildings, car dealerships, hotels, airports and more. Parking lots are often very dark at night, which reduces the detection range of optical cameras. Thermal cameras easily detect people and vehicles any time of day or night with greater accuracy. The cameras can alert the security guard or monitoring center to take action immediately, and employees can check the thermal video for people lurking in the parking lot before going outside.

Residential

Residential

Using standard optical cameras with motion, intrusion or line crossing detection, home surveillance systems often suffer from constant false alarms. As a result of repeated false alarms, homeowner often ignore or disable the system. Fortunately, with the affordable Performance Series Thermal cameras, the residential market can now enjoy greatly reduced false alarms and improved detection capabilities even in visually challenging environments. Homes with garages and other fire risk areas, such as surrounding woods, can utilize the cameras' advanced fire detection to send instant notifications of fires to a homeowner's smartphone.

Retail Stores

Retail Stores

During closed hours, light entering through the windows ordinarily causes false alarms with optical cameras, but thermal DeepinView solves this. When thieves use fog, smoke or intense lights to blind optical cameras, thermal cameras can still see what is happening. Big box retailers with merchandise stored outside the entrances also benefit from the accurate detection capabilities of thermal-optical cameras. Thermal cameras also provide invaluable fire detection capabilities indoors and outdoors with instant remote notification.

Roads & Traffic

Roads & Traffic

Performance Series Thermal cameras can use directional line crossing to detect vehicles traveling the wrong way. They can also detect people and wildlife approaching the road in common crossing areas. Instant notifications can alert traffic authorities and oncoming drivers to the danger.
