Combining ultra-sensitive thermal imaging, advanced AI analytics, mission-critical cyber security, and rugged durability, the new series is engineered to support critical infrastructure, perimeter protection, coastal monitoring, and border security operations in the most challenging conditions.

At the heart of the new lineup is thermal sensitivity with NETD below 16mK, enabling the cameras to capture exceptionally refined thermal data even in low-visibility environments. This enhanced thermal precision allows the AI engine to classify objects with greater accuracy, including people and vehicles that may be partially obscured, and individuals who may be crouching or prone. Rather than simply detecting movement, the cameras are designed to deliver the level of thermal clarity required to reduce false alarms and improve situational awareness in high-risk environments.

Vessel detection for maritime environments

Expanding beyond conventional perimeter surveillance, the VGA AI Thermal Camera series also features AI-powered Vessel Detection capabilities optimised for maritime environments. The technology enables operators to accurately detect and classify vessels using the same intelligent analytics applied to people and vehicles on land. Designed for coastal protection, port security, and maritime border control, the system maintains reliable performance in fog, rain, snow, and complete darkness through the use of thermal imaging technology. This allows organisations to maintain continuous awareness across shorelines, waterways, and open-sea environments regardless of weather or lighting conditions.

To support a wide range of operational requirements, the new series is available with four lens options — 13mm, 19mm, 35mm, and 60mm — providing flexibility in detection range and field of view based on deployment needs. In addition, each model is offered in either a 30fps high-frame-rate version or an 8fps version, enabling customers to select configurations aligned with regional regulations and procurement requirements.

Focus on cyber security

Cyber security also remains a core focus of the new platform. The VGA AI Thermal Camera series incorporates a FIPS 140-3 Level 3 certified Secure Element, delivering hardware-rooted encryption designed to protect systems against unauthorised access and cyber threats. Combined with SD card partition encryption, the cameras help safeguard sensitive surveillance footage from tampering, ensuring the integrity and reliability of critical evidence.

Designed for harsh outdoor deployments, the series is built with comprehensive environmental protection including IP66/67, NEMA 4X, and IK10 ratings, alongside MIL-STD-810H compliance covering resistance to rain, humidity, vibration, and salt exposure. Enhanced transient protection further improves reliability against electrical surges and unstable power conditions, supporting uninterrupted operation in mission-critical environments.
