Capabilities - Thermal Imaging

Thermal Imaging works with thermal cameras to detect people, vehicles and unusual heat in complete darkness, through smoke and in bad weather. It works with thermal cameras from many makers, so you are not tied to one vendor's analytics. Applications range from perimeter security and elevated body temperature screening to equipment monitoring and energy audits.

How it works - Thermal Imaging in three steps

How Thermal Imaging works with the cameras you already run.

  • Connect Thermal Cameras. Use your thermal cameras, including cameras that measure temperature. No vendor software is required.
  • Reads Thermal Video. The system identifies people, vehicles, animals and unusual heat in thermal video. On cameras that measure temperature, you can set limits to flag anything above or below a set range.
  • Flag Thermal Events. A temperature over your limit, a perimeter crossing in the dark or overheating equipment is flagged for your team to review. Where a thermal camera and a regular camera view the same scene, each flag also gets a regular snapshot.

Features

What Thermal Imaging can do.

  • Zero-Light Perimeter Security. Detects people, vehicles and animals approaching a perimeter in total darkness, fog and rain, when ordinary cameras see little.
  • Elevated Temperature Screening. Screens people for elevated skin surface temperature at entry points. Designed as an operational screening tool. It is not a medical diagnostic device. Built for environments subject to health screening protocols.
  • Equipment Overheating Detection. Monitors electrical panels, motors, bearings, and HVAC equipment for abnormal heat signatures that may indicate impending failure.
  • Works with Many Camera Makers. Works with thermal cameras from many makers. No vendor analytics license is needed; bring your own cameras.
  • Thermal and Regular Views Together. Pair thermal and regular cameras. The thermal view finds the person or heat source, and the regular view shows who or what it is, side by side.
  • Energy Audit and Heat Loss. Process thermal imagery of buildings to identify insulation failures, HVAC inefficiencies, and heat leaks. Generate reports with annotated thermal overlays.
  • Temperature Readings. On cameras that measure temperature, the system reads temperatures across the scene to flag readings over your limits and show trends.

Use cases

Applications of Thermal Imaging across industries.

Nighttime Perimeter Security

Critical facilities need 24/7 perimeter detection regardless of lighting. Thermal cameras can detect body heat from intruders in complete darkness, where visible cameras fail.

  • Government
  • Energy
  • Corporate

Facility Health Screening

Facilities can use thermal screening at entry points during elevated health-risk periods. The system flags individuals with elevated skin temperature for secondary screening by trained personnel.

  • Corporate
  • Manufacturing
  • Events

Electrical Infrastructure Monitoring

Substations and data centers monitor critical electrical equipment continuously. Thermal detection can identify hot spots on transformers, switchgear, and bus bars before they cause outages or fires.

  • Energy
  • Utilities
  • Data Centers

Marine and Port Security

Harbors and coastal facilities need to detect approaching vessels at night. Thermal cameras see through fog and darkness, and the system can identify vessel types and their approach paths.

  • Government
  • Shipping
  • Defense

Building Energy Auditing

Property managers need to identify heat loss and insulation failures. Thermal drone or handheld surveys, processed by the platform, can generate annotated reports highlighting problem areas.

  • Real Estate
  • Construction
  • Energy

Wildlife Monitoring at Night

Conservation researchers need to observe animal behavior without artificial light. Thermal imaging can detect and track animals based on body heat, enabling unobtrusive nocturnal observation.
