Third-generation smart thermal camera

SightLogix announced the third-generation Thermal SightSensor with four times the processing, at one-third the size, and consuming less than half the power of the prior generation. The new SightSensor uses solar and wireless capabilities that reduces most of the infrastructure once needed for video security systems.

Outdoor security projects encompass many infrastructure expenses that typically dwarf the cost of security cameras themselves. These include plans and permits for construction and trenching, installing electrical and communication wiring to remote areas and on-site provisioning. The result has been a significant capital investment each time an organisation needs to secure a facility. By combining solar power and wireless communications with the most accurate outdoor detection system available, the new SightSensor eliminates much of the installation costs, fulfilling a long-sought promise of using smart thermal cameras as an outdoor burglar alarm system.

With lens options that range from wide areas to 600 m distances, the NEMA 4X, nitrogen-purged Thermal SightSensor provides high Probability of Detect (PD) and low Nuisance Alarm Rate (NAR) video analytics day and night, in all weather conditions.

Major new features of the third-generation SightSensor include:

* Four times the on-board video processing.

* Greatly reduced power, size and weight.

* Support for ONVIF, H.264.

* Audio messages triggered in response to alarm conditions.

* Simplified video cabling and connections.

* Flexible browser-based configuration option.
