What Is An AI-Enhanced Thermal CCTV System?
Conventional CCTV only captures live footage but does little to deter or alert to intrusions or dangers as they happen.
Our AI-powered CCTV systems with thermal cameras work in the same way as conventional CCTV but with a number of added security advantages.
- They protect you in all weather conditions and lighting… Night or day.
- The cameras film in thermal and standard video formats, so you can choose which feed you want.
- They allow you to set up ‘virtual’ invisible boundary lines and intrusion zones which will automatically alert you when crossed.
- Thermal cameras not only protect from intrusions but they can offer live AI-powered assessments for risks such as machinery overheating or fires.
- With thermal and conventional cameras built-in, they provide complete protection and instant alerts, assessed in real-time by machine-learning AI software.
- Working flawlessly over long ranges, these systems can be used in almost any security scenario, from rural locations, factories and energy production plants to busier urban environments.
If you require protection without compromise, these systems may be perfect for you… Alerting you to issues as they happen so you can take action.
Applications for Thermal CCTV With AI:
-
Thermal cameras offer distinct advantages for security and safety monitoring.
Working with the standard image cameras and backed up with AI, these systems detect and alert you to pre-configured dangers and security scenarios.
This allows the security system to create early alerts and take action before a danger can escalate: Be it to distinguish or alert to a human threat, a fire threat or an overheating machine.
Applications for these thermal systems are near-endless but here are a few examples:
- Perimeter Security.
- Intrusion Detection.
- Fire Detection.
- Industrial Inspections.
- Machinery Heat Monitoring.
- Equipment Safety Monitoring.
- Critical Infrastructure Protection.
- Body Heat Monitoring In Low-Light Areas.
- Secure Monitoring Of Large, Open Areas.
The Security Solution For
Rural & Remote Locations:
Rural & Remote Locations:
Thermal CCTV with AI-enhanced detection provides a powerful, reliable method of protection for areas which are typically hard to protect.
Rural locations are often targeted for criminal activities due to the lack of security infrastructure and weather conditions, combined with low-light levels make isolated areas easy pickings for criminals.
Thermal CCTV changes all that: It cannot be avoided. It cannot be bypassed. It records and detects regardless of weather (fog/rain/snow), providing clarity and tracking of targets even in the darkness of night.
If your existing security is not working: This is the answer.
Advantages Of Thermal CCTV Systems With AI:
All Weather Visibility:
Standard CCTV can be hampered by inclement weather conditions such as rain, fog and snow. This is not the case with Thermal cameras, which will continue to protect without the conventional drawbacks.
Day & Night Protection:
Most CCTV systems will film in standard daytime conditions and have a night vision mode for low-light scenarios. Thermal cameras offer an added level of protection which is not affected by the light levels or seasonality.
Early Intrusion Detection:
Using AI alongside these thermal cameras means that intruders can be picked up and alerts are sent instantly, with or without their knowledge. The system can instantly trigger lights, sirens, recorded messages and track the threat, even between cameras, whilst alerting the site owner or alarm receiving centre to their presence.
Instant Safety Alerts:
Not all threats and dangers can be seen with the naked eye: This system will alert to issues like machinery overheating and fire threats by assessing the colour variations and heat levels. Potentially stopping dangers before they escalate.
Long Range Detection:
Thermal cameras are undeterred by issues with weather or visibility. This allows for longer ranges of detection. Early detection with the thermal camera will allow for earlier recognition and identification by the standard camera as well as automatic threat tracking.
Threat Detection, Identification & Instant Action:
Instant Detection & Tracking.
AI software using machine learning and pre-programmed parameters to assess threats, track them in real-time and take action.
By setting up ‘invisible tripwires’ and boundary boxes, AI ensures that monitoring is concentrated in the areas we want to secure.
Once an invisible line is crossed, the target can be tracked with live footage, night vision or using their thermal heat signature and followed.
Threats are assessed and the AI will decide the instant course of action to employ: This could be alarms, sirens, alerts, notifications to security staff or contacting your alarm receiving centre (ARC).
This can be combined with other security systems for number plate or face recognition.
AI security systems have unlimited potential and can work in virtually any scenario: From busy urban areas to remote locations.
How Thermal Camera Systems Work:
Our cameras include ‘standard’ modes of capturing footage but the thermal detection takes your security to the next level.
Thermal cameras detect infrared radiation and convert it to a visible image. This is often described as ‘thermal imaging’.
The camera’s lens captures the heat waves emitted by objects and uses thousands of sensors to convert the heat signature into an electrical signal.
A colour or shade is assigned based on the temperature range of the object(s) and displayed on the screen as a thermal image.
Once AI software is added, these images can be automatically interpreted to a decision-making process that will lead to alerts and action from your security system.
