Thermal camera smartphone - Choosing the best

26/6/2018

FLIR offers a wide collection of thermal camera Smartphone, thereby making it very tricky to choose the one which works best for your specific need. You can definitely make a better choice once you are better informed and understand the various features offered by Thermal camera smartphone.

Thermal camera smartphone is available in different resolutions which would mostly be standard or, sub-standard definition because the pixels in the camera needs to be bigger than that of visible camera so that it can sense the infrared signal. The other question is radiometry or, no radiometry which determines the temperature of objects by measuring the radiation flux.

The next and one of the important factors is the price of Thermal camera Smartphone. The lens size, field of view, size of the thermal camera smartphone, geo-tagging etc. are some of the other features one needs to go through before buying a Thermal camera smartphone.

Thermal camera Android - 2nd Gen FLIR ONE

20/6/2018

The FLIR ONE thermal camera Android is compatible with the latest releases of iOS and Android. The camera can attach to the charging or, data port thereby making it compatible with a multitude of phones and tablets. The 2nd Gen thermal camera Android includes both a thermal camera and a visible light camera which is mounted side by side.

The image performance is considered improved where the sensitivity of the core remains at 0.10 °C. It also boasts of a broader temperature imaging range between -4 and 248 °F. The images offer better detail and gradients. The light camera is integral to the overall image quality of the FLIR ONE. Through MSX technology, FLIR ONE gathers data about object edges and then etches these onto the thermal image.

The thermal data and colouring captured by Thermal camera Android is retained with subtle greyscale lines outlining the objects. The 2nd Gen thermal camera Android features an automatic shutter function to reliably correct any temperature drift of the thermal sensors.

Thermal camera - Improved Navigational Safety

14/6/2018

FLIRs thermal camera for increased navigational safety is powered with FLIRs Boson high performance thermal camera core featuring a multi-core video processor which delivers high quality images and thermal analytics features. FLIR's M132 and M232 thermal camera can integrate seamlessly with multifunctional navigation displays.

A thermal camera bolstered with the latest technology gives an entirely new level of perception and enhanced safety on the water. It can visually and audibly issue alerts to the operator when obstacles such as boats, or navigational markers are identified thereby improving the overall situational awareness both during the day and night.

Navigating an oil tanker can be very challenging, more when it needs to sail through ice infested waters. Based on Oil Companies International Maritime Forum's recommendation, oil tankers are equipped with FLIR Systems integrated thermal camera which can operate and alert in case of an ice detection. The thermal camera can produce crisp images without any light and operate in harsh arctic conditions quite well.

Perimeter security - Effective Border Surveillance

5/6/2018

Every country needs to secure their borders to avoid illegal human trafficking and border infiltrations. Perimeter security is strengthened with the use of thermal imaging cameras. Most major airports across the globe use CCTV cameras supplemented with thermal imaging cameras and other sensor applications for effective perimeter security.

There are many airports where perimeter security is ensured with vibration sensors along with double fencing, video surveillance and patrols. Israel's Ben Gurion airport uses ground radar system between electronic fences along with several advanced observation systems and highly trained soldiers assigned for perimeter security.

FLIR is also offering different sensor techniques along with its core thermal imaging equipment to ensure effective perimeter security, border protection, coastal surveillance, vessel traffic monitoring and large perimeter security applications. By combining thermal imaging cameras with radars and other sensor technology, it can effectively detect and track multiple targets simultaneously from a distance.
