In this article, we detailed the specific application of thermal imaging cameras in the field of smart security to help everyone better understand the performance of thermal imaging cameras, so as to make better use of this equipment.
 the specific methods of thermal imaging cameras

From analog surveillance to digital surveillance, from standard definition to high definition, from visible light to infrared, video surveillance has undergone tremendous development and changes. In particular, the application of infrared thermal imaging technology in the field of video surveillance has expanded the scope of surveillance applications, providing cameras at night created a pair of "perspective eyes" in harsh environments, which play a vital role in the development of the entire security industry.

The infrared thermal imaging camera in smart security uses infrared thermal imaging monitoring equipment to monitor various targets, such as people and vehicles, at night and in harsh weather conditions. Visible light equipment can no longer work normally at night, and the observation distance is greatly shortened. If artificial lighting is used, it is easy to expose the target and interfere with the line of sight.

If low-light night vision equipment is used, it also works in the visible light band and still needs external light illumination. It is acceptable to work in the city, but when working in the field, the observation distance is greatly shortened. The infrared thermal imaging camera passively receives the infrared heat radiation of the target itself, regardless of the weather conditions, and can work normally during the day and night, and at the same time can avoid exposing itself.

Especially under severe weather conditions such as rain and fog, because the wavelength of visible light is short, the ability to overcome obstacles is poor, so the observation effect is poor, or even can not work, but the wavelength of infrared is longer, and the ability to overcome rain, snow and fog is higher. So you can still observe the target normally at a longer distance. In the field of smart security, thermal imaging cameras are usually used in the following areas:

Fire monitoring

Since the infrared thermal imager is a device that reflects the surface temperature of an object, it can be used as an on-site monitoring device at night, and can also be used as an effective fire alarm device. In a large area of forest, fires are often caused by unobvious hidden fires. of. This is the root cause of devastating fires, and it is difficult to find signs of such hidden fires with existing ordinary methods.

The application of infrared thermal imaging cameras can quickly and effectively detect these hidden fires, and can accurately determine the location and scope of the fire, and find the fire point through the smoke, so as to know, prevent and extinguish it early.

Recognition of camouflage and concealed targets 

Ordinary camouflage is based on anti-visible light observation. The crimes committed by criminals are usually hidden in the grass and woods. At this time, if the visible light observation method is used, it is easy to make wrong judgments due to the harsh outdoor environment and human visual illusions.

The infrared thermal imaging device passively receives the thermal radiation of the target itself. The temperature and infrared radiation of the human body and the vehicle are generally much greater than the temperature and infrared radiation of the vegetation, so it is not easy to camouflage, and it is not easy to make wrong judgments. In addition, ordinary personnel do not know how to avoid infrared surveillance. Therefore, the infrared thermal imaging device is effective in identifying camouflage and concealed targets.

Security patrols at night and under severe weather conditions

Since infrared thermal imaging systems have many advantages in observing and identifying targets, they have been widely used in many developed countries such as highways, railways, night security patrols, and night city traffic control.

Fire protection monitoring of key departments, buildings, and warehouses

Since infrared thermal imaging equipment is a device that reflects the temperature of an object, it can be used for on-site monitoring of key departments, buildings, warehouses, and communities at night, and because this type of equipment is an imaging device, it works reliably and can greatly reduce virtual reality.

Land and port traffic safety guarantee

With the expansion of urban traffic and the extension of roads, railways, and waterways, traffic safety has become a huge problem, especially safe driving at night or in a harsh environment with fog and rain. Nowadays, cars or ships equipped with thermal imaging cameras can avoid traffic accidents at night or in harsh environments.

Therefore, in the field of smart security, an infrared thermal imaging camera is a very effective device. If you want to know more about infrared cameras after reading the above, you can get a comprehensive solution by contacting us.
