City areas lacking sufficient illumination have a higher criminality rate, and they require more manpower to monitor. The installation of lighting and daylight cameras can be a lengthy and expensive process, due to the size of the areas and regulation with regard to privacy.
Infrared thermal Imaging surveillance systems are a fast, economical and ideal solution to increase security and protect citizens’ lives and property in those areas through prevention and a faster response in critical situations.
Borders and coastlines often have a complex terrain spanning vast areas with various and harsh weather conditions. Ordinary monitoring systems cannot withstand all weather conditions, and fail to meet long range intrusion detection requirements.
Infrared thermal imaging systems on the other hand, have long detection and recognition ranges, can be operated and functional in extreme weather conditions, day and night, and they can identify the infrared spectral characteristics of targets. This makes thermal imaging systems an ideal choice for long range reconnaissance and detection in border zones.
It’s often impossible or very costly to install sufficient lighting in ports and wharfs. This results in a less effective monitoring at night, and limits the capacity to control contraband, drugs and human trafficking, alongside other criminal activity in these areas.
Infrared thermal imaging technology enables you to monitor them without the need for lighting, delivering the same image quality at night as during daytime hours.
Law enforcement officers face the limitations of light conditions, of lighting equipment and of their own visibility in the performance of their surveillance duties.
Thermal Imaging Systems can help overcome these obstacles with all-weather, day and night vision without dead corners and without the need for lighting, which allows for covert surveillance. Furthermore, they can help discover hidden persons or warm objects, such as the engine of a recently parked vehicle.
Intrusion prevention and detection work in and around power plants, industrial areas, dams, airports and other large infrastructure is challenging due to the special characteristics of these environments such as their size, lighting conditions and terrain.
Thermal Imaging systems can cover long ranges up to 20 kilometers, and serve both as early warning detection systems and as intrusion monitoring cameras. They function uninterrupted by harsh environmental and climatic conditions.
