Secure, long-distance thermal from Keenfinity

SMART Estate Security 2025 Products & Solutions, Surveillance, Residential Estate (Industry)


The DINION thermal 8100i camera is a bullet thermal camera built for mission-critical applications, prioritising long-distance monitoring and reliable perimeter intrusion detection. By detecting heat emitted by objects and visualising temperature differences, the camera operates without the need for visible light, making it highly effective in identifying potential threats across large perimeters.

It combines thermal imaging with the Intelligent Video Analytics (IVA) Pro Perimeter feature, delivering high-accuracy detection of professional intruders while minimising false alarms caused by environmental factors.

The AI-driven autocalibration simplifies installation, ensuring quick and precise setup. Designed with a rugged, corrosion-resistant housing, the DINION thermal 8100i camera offers robust reliability in any outdoor environment, enhancing durability and performance in even the most demanding conditions.

The key differentiator of the DINION thermal 8100i camera is its long-range detection capability, enabling reliable identification of people and vehicles at great distances, regardless of environmental distractions like headlights, shadows, or sudden lighting changes. This makes it an ideal solution for critical infrastructure security applications.

The camera offers a variety of intuitive user-adjustable settings, including contrast, brightness, sharpness, and noise reduction, enabling operators to customise the image for optimal clarity and performance. Additionally, a variety of user-selectable thermal colour modes enhances image customisation to meet specific operational needs.

Intelligent Video Analytics Pro

The camera comes with IVA Pro Buildings and IVA Pro Perimeter pre-installed, bringing highly reliable deep-learning-based detection and tracking of persons and vehicles to scenes ranging from sterile zones to crowded and congested areas. Being extremely resistant to false triggers caused by challenging environments with rain, wind (moving trees), snow, and reflection, as well as shadows and small animals, it reliably detects, tracks, and classifies objects.

A smart set of alarm and counter rules alerts you when predefined alarms are triggered, and users can forensically search through recordings with high efficiency. Configuration effort is minimised and made easy.

Data security

Special measures ensure the highest level of security for device access and data transport. On initial setup, the camera is only accessible over secure channels and enforces a password. Web browser and viewing client access can be protected using HTTPS or other secure protocols that support TLS 1.2 with updated cypher suites, including AES encryption with 256-bit keys. No software can be installed in the camera, and only authenticated firmware can be uploaded. Three-level password protection with security recommendations allows users to customise device access.

Network and device access can be protected using 802.1x network authentication with EAP/TLS. Superior protection from malicious attacks is guaranteed by the Embedded Login Firewall, on-board Trusted Platform Module (TPM) and Public Key Infrastructure (PKI) support.
