Surveillance and security often use infrared thermographic cameras to enhance the functionality of monitoring systems. Infrared thermographic cameras are devices that can detect and display the distribution of surface temperatures on target objects. They are typically used for nighttime monitoring, low-light conditions, and situations requiring temperature detection. Here is some information about infrared thermographic cameras in the field of surveillance and security:
Infrared thermographic cameras generate images by detecting the infrared radiation emitted from the surface of objects. Each object has a different temperature, so they are displayed on the image with different brightness or colors, which helps surveillance personnel identify potential issues or hazards.
Infrared thermographic cameras have a wide range of applications in surveillance and security, including nighttime monitoring, fire detection, temperature anomaly detection (such as fire sources or equipment failures), and personnel detection.
Infrared thermographic cameras have the following features:
Can operate in low light or complete darkness.
Can detect thermal sources at a distance.
Can identify temperature differences, making them useful for fire alarms or detecting abnormal temperatures.
Have a certain degree of anti-interference capability and can operate in harsh weather conditions.
To better utilize the images generated by infrared thermographic cameras, image processing and analysis software is usually required to automatically detect temperature anomalies or other issues.
Infrared thermographic cameras are typically more expensive than regular cameras, but their performance and functionality can provide additional value in specific applications.
