FLIR launches thermal cameras for traffic monitoring and medium and long range applications

FLIR Systems, specialist in the design and manufacture of thermal imaging cameras for a wide variety of applications, has added to its product catalog the new PT-602CZ thermal imaging cameras, for medium- and long-range security applications, and FC-Series T, for traffic monitoring applications.

As thermal cameras are becoming increasingly popular for security and surveillance applications, more and more security professionals are integrating thermal security cameras into their new or existing networks. Many security professionals have the need to detect human-sized targets several kilometers away in order to protect their perimeter. Early detection gives them more time to react, both day and night. For medium- and long-range security applications, FLIR Systems presenta ahora la PT-602CZ.

El multi-sensor PT-602CZ está equipado con un detector refrigerado de onda media de gran fiabilidad, que ofrece detección de medio a largo alcance en todas las condiciones meteorológicas. La cámara de imagen térmica ofrece un zoom óptico y electrónico continuo. Esto ofrece un excelente conocimiento de la situación mientras que también da la posibilidad de enfocar en las actividades sospechosas para tener un punto de vista más detallado una vez que se detectan. La PT-602CZ posee una función de auto enfoque exclusiva que ofrece imágenes claras y nítidas con sólo pulsar un botón. El enfoque se mantiene mientras que hace zoom dentro y fuera. The system allows enjoying greater situational awareness in the wide field of view, while maintaining detailed recognition capabilities in the narrow field of view.

The precision pan/tilt mechanism of the PT-602CZ offers operators precise signaling control while providing fully programmable scanning patterns, cue-to-turn radar and alarm-to-turn functionality. Multi-sensor configurations also include a 36× color day/night CCD camera in the same pan/tilt package. The PT-602CZ can be integrated into existing networks or used as a standalone unit.
Sharp thermal images

The PT-602CZ is equipped with a Mid-Wave InfraRed detector (MWIR) cooled, which produces ultra-clear thermal images of 640 x 512 pixels. This will satisfy users who want to see the smallest details and demand the best possible image quality.

Continuous optical zoom

The FLIR PT-602CZ is equipped with powerful continuous optical zoom capabilities in the thermal image. It offers an excellent situational perspective, as well as the ability to zoom in and see in more detail once a target has been detected. This way, operators can see further, recognize in more detail and respond more quickly to security threats. The advantage of continuous zoom, compared to other systems that use a rotating lens system, it's that you don't have to change or switch between different images. Little by little you can zoom while keeping it focused all the time.

The PT-602CZ zooms between a wide field of view of 28º and a narrow field of view of 2º. It allows the detection of a target the size of a person at a distance of more than 9 kilometers. A small car can be detected at a distance of more than 15 kilometers.

Precision pan/tilt mechanism

The PT-602CZ thermal imaging cameras come with a very precise pan/tilt mechanism. It allows the user to rotate the camera 360º continuously and tilt it +90 ° or -90 °. This greatly increases the situation's perspective. The pan/tilt has 128 positions.

Radar connection for 'turn to cue',”

The PT-602CZ can be connected via an integrator to a radar system. If the radar detects an object, the PT-602CZ will automatically turn to the correct direction and provide a visual image so that you can immediately see what the bright spot on the radar screen actually represents.

Daylight camera

All versions are equipped with a wide range of day/night cameras. The video output from the thermal image and the day/night camera is available simultaneously. The daylight camera offers 36x optical zoom.

IP or serial control

The PT-602CZ can be integrated into any TCP/IP network and can be controlled via a PC. No additional cables are needed. With this setup, all activity can be monitored from the network, even from thousands of kilometers away. Serial control is also available.

FLIR Sensor Manager

Each PT-602CZ camera comes with a simple sensor copy of the FLIR Sensor Manager. This intuitive software allows users to manage and control a PT-602CZ camera on a TCP/IP network.

FLIR FC-Series T

As the number of cars on our roads is continuously increasing, the demand for accurate traffic monitoring and road surveillance systems is increasing accordingly. These systems must operate 24/7, without pause. CCTV cameras are often used for this purpose, but these cameras have many limitations when it comes to nighttime operation, although they are also subject to many limiting factors during the day. Thermal imaging cameras are not affected by sunlight reflection, so they can be placed wherever they will be most effective, without worrying about the angle of the sun. They can be used for light traffic control and vehicle counting, even in total darkness.

Thermal cameras are ideal instruments for a wide variety of traffic monitoring applications, such as vehicle detection at intersections, shoulder monitoring, tunnel traffic supervision and highway traffic management. Las cámaras térmicas eliminan los problemas que surgen con sistemas de detección con cámaras visibles, tales como las llamadas perdidas o falsas.

Las nuevas cámaras de imagen térmica FLIR FC-Series T son herramientas ideales para aplicaciones de monitoreo de tráfico.

Alta calidad de imagen

Las cámaras FC Series-T están equipadas con un detector microbolómetro sin refrigeración ni necesidad de mantenimiento que produce imágenes de no menos de 320×240 píxeles en las que se pueden ver los más pequeños detalles.

FLIR Systems ofrece la FC-Series T con diferentes opciones de lentes. Están disponibles con una lente de 9 mm, 13 mm o 19 mm. Lentes mayores ofrecen un campo de visión más estrecho para que se pueda ver más allá.

Easy to install

All FC-Series T thermal imaging cameras can be installed in existing infrastructures. There is no need for major civil works or to lift the floor. They can be easily integrated into any existing infrastructure, providing detection and visibility 24/7 durante todo el año. They can serve as a simple plug-and-play replacement for existing visible cameras.

Designed for use in harsh environments

The FC T-Series are extremely robust systems. Their core is well protected, meeting IP66 requirements against dust and water ingress. They operate between -50 ºC and +75 ºC.

Video analysis

Like all thermal imaging cameras, the FLIR FC-Series T works seamlessly in conjunction with video analysis.
