Applications
Infra-red technology can be used to detect fires, and more specifically to help fire-fighters to find the core of a fire. Unlike a visual camera which would be blocked by the smoke of a fire, a thermal imaging camera can show where the hottest part of the fire is. By knowing such important details it is possible to reduce the threat of fire for those entering the building.
Within the fire and security industry, thermal technology has a widespread use and provides many benefits which daylight cameras cannot. Working without any illumination for detection, thermal imaging requires no expensive light installations. Furthermore, unlike traditional CCTV cameras, thermal imaging technology works with longer more detection ranges, meaning installation costs are reduced as less cameras and poles are required.
Within the perimeter security sector, thermal cameras can be used to great effect even in the darkest areas that traditional cameras cannot see. Capable of picking up movement and providing insights on vehicles, objects and intruders, thermal imaging cameras are extremely useful for areas such as airports, facilities and critical infrastructure. |
