Our thermal cameras provide the first line of defense against threats by quickly identifying a temperature change within an area, such as the heat caused by fire or the human body. Thermal imaging cameras use heat sensors to measure infrared energy radiating from the elements within their field of view, translating the varying temperatures into an image.
Specifically for short-range detection, Hikvision HeatPro Thermal Cameras are designed and priced for residential, commercial, and industrial applications, including:
Villas/Gated Communities
Commercial Buildings
Construction Sites
Recycling/Waste Management Sites
When a temperature change is detected, personnel can quickly respond to the source by using built-in white strobe lights, alarms, and automated voice alarms. Additional features include:
Superior visibility even in low light applications
Outstanding intrusion prevention with A built-in alarm
Detect and locate fires early with advanced fire detection
Our thermal cameras also feature the same powerful deep learning algorithms as our full portfolio. This includes accurate behavioral analysis, intrusion detection, and region entrance/exit identification, which makes them valuable for a multitude of applications.
