Capabilities - Thermal Imaging

Thermal Imaging analytics process feeds from LWIR (long-wave infrared) cameras to detect people, vehicles, and anomalies in complete darkness, through smoke, and in adverse weather. The platform is camera-agnostic — it works with any thermal camera that outputs a standard video stream, freeing you from proprietary analytics ecosystems. Applications range from perimeter security and elevated body temperature screening to industrial equipment monitoring and energy auditing. The system is designed to provide a layer of detection that visible-light cameras simply cannot match.

How it works - Thermal Imaging in three steps

Get started with thermal imaging in minutes using your existing camera infrastructure.

  • Connect Thermal Cameras. Integrate any thermal camera that delivers RTSP, ONVIF, or radiometric video output. The system calibrates automatically for the camera's temperature range and resolution — no proprietary software required.
  • Thermal-Specific AI Processing. Detection models trained on thermal imagery identify people, vehicles, animals, and heat anomalies. Temperature thresholds can be set on radiometric streams to flag objects above or below defined ranges.
  • Alert on Thermal Events. Temperature exceedance, unauthorized perimeter crossing in darkness, or equipment overheating triggers immediate alerts. Dual-spectrum pairing with visible cameras provides contextual snapshots alongside thermal detections.

Features

Everything you need for production-grade thermal imaging.

  • Zero-Light Perimeter Security. Detects people, vehicles, and animals approaching a perimeter in total darkness, fog, and rain — conditions where visible cameras are ineffective.
  • Elevated Temperature Screening. Screens individuals for elevated skin surface temperature at entry points. Designed as an operational screening tool — not a medical diagnostic device. Used in 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.
  • Camera-Agnostic Architecture. Works with thermal cameras from FLIR, Hikvision, Dahua, Axis, Seek, and others. No proprietary analytics license required — bring your own cameras.
  • Dual-Spectrum Fusion. Pair thermal and visible cameras for combined views. Thermal provides detection; visible provides identification context. Fused output displays both layers simultaneously.
  • 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.
  • Radiometric Data Extraction. For cameras that output radiometric data, the system extracts per-pixel temperature values, enabling precise threshold-based alerts and trend analysis.

Use cases

Real-world 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, providing reliable detection 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 cut through fog and darkness, while AI detection can identify vessel types and approach vectors.

  • 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.
