Long range security specific infrared thermal camera module

Tokyo, Japan

NEC Avio Infrared Technologies Co., Ltd., has released a new long wave infrared thermal camera module, S200C, specially designed for security camera applications with innovative and high-performance lenses.
The S200C series thermal camera module incorporates a Japan-made detector with the latest technology. There are six different lenses available. Each lens incorporates, what the companying is terming as, the world's first Optical Image Stabilization system (VC ) for thermal camera and motorised focus mechanism. Two of the lenses include a motorised optical 3x zoom lens mechanism that is remotely controllable. The lenses, coupled with NEC Avio's highly sensitive uncooled VOx Microbolometer make the thermal camera a unique, powerful, and reliable stable surveillance monitoring system.

The "Vibration Compensation" (VC *2) mechanism absorbs movement to a great extent to minimize the influence from wind induced shaking as well as ground movement caused by passing trains and vehicles when installed on a watchtower or other elevated structures required for clear views.

Image intensification and near infrared active illumination of CCD based night vision devices have some inescapable weaknesses such as noise, response, and distance limitations as they magnify ambient light. On the other hand, thermal imaging overcomes these insufficiencies. Long wave infrared cameras produce an image even in absolute darkness by detecting thermal radiation. There is also far better visibility through smoke, fog or when shooting against light to find something hidden and trigger an alarm system. Integration of thermal cameras is truly effective, less costly, and complements outdoor security sensors and existing CCTV cameras.

S200C series is an ideal choice for perimeter control of critical installations or bushfire hot spot detection. Thermal imaging combined with superb optics, boasting anti-vibration and motorized focus, is truly dependable to build a robust security system.
