Flir Systems' ThermoVision A-Series IR cameras are ideal candidates for integrated asset management systems.
Remote asset management incorporating thermography can be a highly cost effective solution provided there is a high degree of flexibility in the IR camera's installation and set-up However, not all IR cameras have this ability and this compromises their viability

With temperature measurement capabilities and weighing only 700 grams - 50% less than any other thermal imaging camera - the ThermaCAM E2 fits easily into the palm of the hand or on a tool belt.
An Introduction To Thermography
The quick and easy way to detect heat loss.
The FLIR Systems' ThermoVision A-Series IR cameras are notable exceptions.
Their smart functions, open architecture and application flexibility make them the ideal candidates for integrated asset management systems.
These remain the world's first IP addressable thermal imaging cameras making their integration into Ethernet and Gigabit Ethernet networks both simple and quick.

'The smallest infrared cameras with the widest range of high-end features for low-end prices' is how FLIR Systems' introduced its ThermaCAM E-Series last year.
Thermal Imaging Camera Specifically For Buildings
In addition to checking for heat loss or gain, the ThermaCAM B20 camera is ideal for a range of tasks including detecting areas prone to mould and finding leaks in underground pipes.
Thermal Imaging Camera Specifically For Buildings.
ThermaCAM B20 has been developed by FLIR Systems in consultation with experienced building inspectors and in addition to checking for heat loss or gain, the camera is ideal for a range of tasks.
Each ThermoVision camera can be equipped with its own unique URL that allows it to be addressed independently via its Ethernet connection.
This enables any authorised user to access and control the camera via LAN, WAN or Internet using a standard WEB browser.
Standard camera features include such as alarms, event logging, digital input and outputs to be tailored to exact application needs.
Their application scope is also phenomenal.
In addition to security and fire detection, the cameras are extensively used 24/7 for condition monitoring and process control.
Another important growth area is automated fever scanning of people at ports, airports and public spaces.
With the potential to accomplish so many tasks in geographically dispersed assets, the FLIR Systems' cameras provide an exceptionally good return on investment.
Visitors to IFSEC will be able to see FLIR Systems' latest IR multi-tasking remote asset management solutions borne out of the company's continued high commitment to R and D.
The company spent $51.5m last year, a figure that exceeds the previous year's quota by 12.5% and represents 10% of its turnover.
Another important component of FLIR Systems continued success in this highly cost competitive market is its ongoing technology partnerships with asset management software companies.
As an example, at IFSEC FLIR Systems' cameras will be demonstrated under the control of Milestone's XProtect Enterprise Software.
Radiometric models are available where accurate temperature measurement is required for systems that guard against fire and overheating.
These are complemented by a choice of cameras for applications that require excellent thermal image quality but where exact temperature measurement is not needed.
This range also includes the world's smallest thermal imaging camera, the ThermoVision A10.
Their high quality display allows fast-moving, low temperature targets to be viewed with exceptional image clarity, unmatched by other cameras.
Portable thermal imaging is an area in which FLIR Systems also excels.
Indeed its breadth of range in this field in now unmatched.
The company has striven to make this technology accessible and affordable to law enforcement and search and rescue professionals and its ThermoVision Scout cameras are now much in demand in these sectors.
A typical example is ThermoVision Scout 320 ZX, a model with a 320 x 240 pixel detector and therefore superior thermal imaging performance.
Excellent thermal sensitivity of 80mK allows the operator to detect body heat from over 1200m away and projects its findings as crisp high-quality images onto the integral colour display. Request a free brochure from Flir Systems ...
