Redvision CCTV Releases New Rugged VEGA-THERMAL Camera
Redvision CCTV, a leading manufacturer of rugged security cameras, has announced the release of its new VEGA-THERMAL camera. The camera features a high-performance thermal sensor that can detect heat signatures in total darkness, housed in a rugged, IP67-rated enclosure that is weatherproof, dustproof, and vandal-resistant. This makes it ideal for use in harsh outdoor environments, such as custodial sites, industrial facilities, and military bases.
Some key features of the VEGA-THERMAL include:
- Wide range of fixed focal lengths from 9mm to 50mm
- 640 x 512 resolution uncooled VOx Micro bolometer presenting clear and detailed images in complete darkness.
- Sensitivity of ≤40mK, which allows it to detect even the smallest temperature differences.
- Embedded edge analytics to support human, vehicular and fire point detections
Benefits of Thermal Detection
Thermal detection is a technology that uses heat signatures to create images. This makes it ideal for applications where visibility is limited, such as in total darkness or in poor weather conditions. Thermal detection has a number of benefits over traditional optical imaging, including:
- Increased sensitivity: Thermal cameras can detect heat signatures even in low-light conditions.
- Increased range: Thermal cameras can see objects that are further away than traditional optical cameras.
- All-weather performance: Thermal cameras can operate in all weather conditions, including rain, snow, and fog.
- Insensitive to light: Thermal cameras are not affected by changes in lighting, such as headlights or flashlights.
Rugged, Marine-Grade Enclosure
The VEGA-THERMAL camera is housed in a rugged, IP67-rated enclosure that is weatherproof, dustproof, and vandal-resistant. This makes it ideal for use in harsh outdoor environments. The enclosure is also shockproof and vibration-resistant, making it able to withstand the rigors of everyday use.
The VEGA-THERMAL camera is a valuable tool for security professionals who need to monitor their surroundings in low-light or challenging conditions. The combination of thermal detection and the rugged enclosure make it a reliable solution, ideally designed for use within perimeter detection solutions.
