With Long range PTZ or pan / tilt / zoom thermal imaging becoming relatively more affordable and an integral part of Short, medium, long and extreme ultra long range Surveillance, security, observation systems, a whole range of uses becomes both possible and economically viable. long range Thermal flir PTZ cameras can be an excellent complement in many situations where conventional cameras diminish their performance as low light levels are present. They are, of course, unparalleled in a situation of twilight, thermal cross-over, near darkness and total darkness. They can also be an option in areas that are very difficult to illuminate effectively, for example a sea front, a harbor, or any other vast expanse of open water thus making SPI’s long range PTZ thermal infrared imaging Ir cameras paramount for use in marine, boat, vessel and ship applications. Similarly, artificial light not only runs the risk of revealing where the cameras are placed, enabling parties to avoid or vandalize them, but can also create projected shadows in which an intruder can avoid detection. Furthermore, spotlights can blind as well as illuminate. So cameras that do not rely on light can be the preferred solution in many different traffic situations, whether it is in railway tunnels, on air strips, runways, or on regular streets. Long Range Thermal flir PTZ cameras, on the other hand, cannot be blinded by bright lights or laser beams.SPI Corp’s long range multi sensor Eoir flir thermal imaging camera systems offer substantial long distance detection ranges allowing the operator to be positioned at very far distant standoff locations offering ample time to react, to threats or targets of interest. Long range imaging systems provide a benefit to the user when coupled with an array of sensors and geo locating modules especially in specialty military, security and surveillance applications. The farther you are, the more time you have to react and not be seen.

Long Range Visible HD CCTV cameras can compliment the long range Thermal cameras and assist in daytime and low light DRI (Detection, Recognition and Identification)Long range Critical infrastructure applications require not only continuous video surveillance and monitoring, but also a solution that yields highly reliable intrusion detection, with fewer false alarms. This need makes advanced video analytics a must for any adequate long range thermal/cctv surveillance system.Advanced analytics will provide multiple automated alarm notification options, including email, edge image storage, digital outputs or video management software (VMS) alarms. Incorporating high quality, unique and adaptive analytics can virtually eliminate false alarms, allowing security personnel to respond more efficiently and effectively, while also lowering overall cost for the end user. While traditional long range surveillance & security technologies such as radar, thermal flir imaging and visible cameras, or video analytics work well on their own, utilizing all of these options together provide an advanced perimeter detection system. For example, ground surveillance radar can detect possible threats beyond the fence line as they approach and send a signal to long range pan-tilt-zoom (PTZ) cameras, triggering them to slew to a specific location. From there, embedded analytics and visible cameras can further identify objects, notify authorized staff, and collect additional evidence through facial recognition or high-quality photos.Once a long range intrusion attempt is discovered, it is important to act fast. Organizing a response system that can initiate actions based on GPS location data, such as the slewing of long range FLIR PTZ cameras, automated intruder tracking or activated lighting sensors, greatly increases staff’s situational awareness while easing their workload. For instance, thermal imagers deployed in conjunction with video analytics can be used to generate an initial alarm event, which can then trigger a sequence of other security equipment and notifications for personnel to eventually respond to. Having all of this in place essentially lays the entire situation out in a way that allows responders to accurately understand and evaluate a scene.After the designated auto-response mechanisms have activated and done their job, it is time for responders to acknowledge and assess the situation. From here, authorized personnel can take the next appropriate step toward defending against and delaying the threat. Deterring suspicious activity can be achieved through real-time two-way audio, a simple but powerful tool. Often, control room operators can diffuse a situation by speaking over an intercom, telling the trespasser that they are being watched and that the authorities have been notified.

The primary purpose of the delay facet of the overall long range perimeter protection strategy is to stall an attempted intrusion long enough for responders to act. Access control systems play a key role in realizing this objective. When a security officer sees a non-compliant, suspicious individual on the camera feed, the officer can lock all possible exits to trap them in one area all through the VMS.

While conventional long range thermal surveillance cameras are the most effective options to meet color video, feature identification and evidentiary standard requirements in security deployments, for installations with harsh imaging conditions, where optimal lighting is not available, a different long range sensor solution is needed. In these scenarios, long range thermal imaging cameras are ideal. Here are the key reasons why long range (flir) thermal cameras present an advantage for applications characterized by low-light or no-light, adverse environments and video analytics.

Long range Thermal vision cameras or infrared night vision cameras come in long wave infrared LWIR and mid wave infrared MWIR, they see at long distances what the naked eye and standard cameras do not: heat Vision, They can measure differences in heat signatures among humans and objects as minute as 0.01°C and reflect these differences in an image. For this reason, long range thermal vision cameras offer several benefits to border, coastal, maritime, military and homeland security professionals. Long range Thermal cameras deliver high-contrast imagery optimal for video analytics performance and intrusion detection. When deploying thermal cameras, command center staff can easily see an intruder attempting to hide in the trees at night, whereas a standard security camera would only show a dark image.
Security directors are opting for PTZ thermal cameras with video analytics for their PIDS because they provide both intrusion alerts and visuals for alarm verification, functioning as a more turnkey solution. While fiber optic cables or fence shaker technologies provide intrusion notifications, they require another solution for video verification to validate the alarm. This is not the case with long range thermal or visible cameras with analytics, which provide both intrusion notifications and video of the alarm event.

Long range PTZ Thermal cameras produce images in conditions standard surveillance cameras cannot, allowing security teams to see in total darkness, harsh sunlight, glare, rain, and smoke. Thermal cameras truly enable
24/7 surveillance, which is a capability that distinguishes them from other sensors. Thermal cameras satisfy regulations such as U.S. NRC’s 73.55 security policy, which requires nuclear power plants to provide “continuous surveillance, observation, and monitoring” of areas “to detect and deter intruders.” Long range Thermal cameras detect humans, vehicles, and objects in complete darkness and other low-visibility conditions.
Long range PTZ flir Thermal imaging IR cameras also appeal to system integrators for PIDS projects from an installation standpoint. For oil and gas facilities, ports, and other sites, where installing a fence line along the entire perimeter isn’t possible, thermal cameras with analytics serve as a cost-effective alternative, creating a “virtual thermal fence” for intrusion detection. With lower construction costs than a continuous physical barrier, thermal virtual fence lines provide similar deterrence to a physical fence with the added benefit of proactive alarming when threats approach.
