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 the new PT-602CZ thermal imaging cameras to its product catalog, for medium and long range security applications, y 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 man-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 now presents the PT-602CZ.

The multi-sensor PT-602CZ is equipped with a highly reliable cooled medium wave detector, offering medium to long range detection in all weather conditions. Thermal imaging camera offers continuous optical and electronic zoom. This provides excellent situational awareness while also giving you the ability to focus on suspicious activities for a more detailed view once they are detected.. The PT-602CZ has a unique autofocus function that delivers clear, sharp images at the touch of a button.. Focus is maintained while zooming in and out. The system allows for greater situational awareness in the wide field of view, while maintaining detailed reconnaissance capabilities in the narrow field of view.

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

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

Continuous optical zoom

The FLIR PT-602CZ is equipped with powerful continuous optical zoom capabilities in thermal imaging. Provides excellent insight into the situation, as well as the ability to zoom in and view in more detail once a target has been detected. This way, operators can see beyond, recognize in more detail and react more quickly to security threats. The advantage of continuously zooming, compared to other systems that use a rotating lens system, is that there is no need to change or exchange between the different images. You can gradually zoom in while maintaining your focus all the time.

The PT-602CZ zooms between a wide 28º field of view and a narrow 2º field of view. Allows detection of a person-sized target 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

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

Turn-to-cue radar connection”

The PT-602CZ can be connected by an integrator to a radar system. If the radar detects an object, The PT-602CZ will automatically turn in the correct direction and give you a visual image so that you can immediately see what the bright dot on the radar screen really means..

daylight camera

All versions are equipped with a wide range of day/night cameras. Video output of thermal image and day/night light camera are available simultaneously. 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 by a PC. No additional cables needed. With this configuration, You can monitor all activity from the network, even thousands of miles away. Serial control is also available.

FLIR Sensor Administrator

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 continually increasing, The demand for accurate traffic monitoring and highway 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 night operation, although they are also subject to many limiting factors during the day. Thermal imaging cameras are not affected by sun glare, 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 monitoring and highway traffic management. Thermal cameras eliminate the problems that arise with detection systems with visible cameras, such as missed or false calls.

New FLIR FC-Series T thermal imaging cameras are ideal tools for traffic monitoring applications.

High image quality

FC Series-T cameras are equipped with a maintenance-free, cooling-free microbolometer detector that produces images of no less than 320×240 pixels in which you can see the smallest details.

FLIR Systems offers the FC-Series T with different lens options. They are available with a lens 9 mm, 13 mm o 19 mm. Larger lenses offer a narrower field of view so you can see further.

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 raising the ground. Can be easily integrated into any existing infrastructure, providing detection and visibility 24/7 throughout the year. They can serve as a simple plug and play replacement for existing visible cameras.

Designed for use in harsh environments

FC T-Series are extremely resistant systems. Its core is well protected, meeting IP66 requirements against the ingress of dust and water. They operate between -50 ºC y +75 ºC.

Video analysis

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