Introduction
Thermal cameras do not require a light source to capture images & excellent for providing enhanced coverage in diverse environments, such as harsh conditions or extreme darkness. thermal cameras have long-range detection and temperature measurement capabilities, allowing them to be used in conjunction with CCTV cameras to achieve all-weather monitoring and surveillance. An infrared camera or thermal imaging camera, is a type of camera that captures images using the heat emitted by objects rather than visible light. It detects the infrared radiation emitted from objects and converts it into an image that can be seen by humans.
Thermal cameras are widely used in applications:
used in applications where traditional cameras are not effective, such as in low light or total darkness, in smoke or fog, or in situations where there may be obstacles blocking the camera’s view. They are commonly used in a variety of industries, including security and surveillance, firefighting, industrial inspection, and medical imaging.
-
Industrial facilities, gas pumps
-
Forest early fire prevention
-
Over-heating detection
-
Gas detection
-
perimeter protection

Government & Defense
Industrial facilities, gas pumps:
Optical gas imaging (OGI) camera visualizes hazardous areas for gas leaks. Continuous monitoring, you can catch dangerous, costly hydrocarbon or volatile organic compound leaks methane, hydrocarbons, and VOC emissions from oil and gas production, and transportation and take immediate action.
Thermal camera with different models has the capability to detect hazardous gas, flame & industrial inspection such as:
-
Hydrocarbon.
-
Co2.
-
Methane.
-
Refrigerant gases.
-
Furnaces, heaters, and boilers.
-
Commercial & Residential Building Inspection.
-
Machine Area Scan Cameras
Early fire prevention
-
Infrared (thermal) Camera systems are not fire detection, Based on temperature measurement, the camera can detect a potential fire hazard, such as sudden temperature rise or abnormal temperature exceeding a programmed threshold By giving early warning signals, it can help prevent the occurrence of fire and allow timely response before a fire spreads.
-
A lit cigarette is too small for CCTV cameras and Fire Alarm systems. But a thermal camera can detect it and send a signal to the control room.
-
Mechanical equipment conveyor, bearing, motor, drive, and pump are prone to damage due to overheating.
