With a robust design and excellent environmental adaptability, thanks to its self-protection mechanism for hostile environments, Hikvision thermal cameras set a trend in the market. One of the main characteristics of this solution is that the image is not affected by light or other factors such as smoke, rain or fog, which proves the effectiveness of this technology, even in the most adverse conditions.

It is important to note that this technology can be used for short, medium and long range perimeter control, so thermal cameras can be used in various areas and circumstances. Likewise, Hikvision has several product lines covering a wide spectrum of the market. One of its main advantages is its integration with multiple systems present in industries, including complete Hikvision solutions.

But how do thermal cameras work? “A germanium lens takes the thermal radiation of the bodies and it is captured by a sensor that converts it into electrical signals, in order to process the formation of the image,” explains Roger Alejandro De La Hoz Zorro, Pre-sales Engineer at Hikvision.

The main features of Hikvision thermal solutions are:

Accurate temperature measurement: Through strict calibration and standardized testing procedures, Hikvision established a temperature measurement model that offers great stability and accuracy: up to ±2°C or ±2% for environments, and ±0.5°C or ±0.3°C for measuring the body temperature of individuals, depending on whether it is the camera alone or if it is accompanied by a calibration element. In addition, this solution supports multiple measurement rules, allowing users to select the most convenient one for various scenarios and thus achieve maximum precision.

Clear images: With advanced features such as automatic gain control, digital detail enhancement and 3D digital noise reduction, this product achieves clear thermal images unprecedented in the industry.

Intuitive user interface: With iVMS-4800 temperature measurement software or HikCentral Professional licensed professional software for online and offline analysis, users will be able to configure measurement rules, obtain test reports and visual samples of results.

Advanced intelligence: Thanks to Deep Learning algorithms, Hikvision thermal products deliver powerful and accurate behavioral analysis, including detections such as line crossing, intrusions, region entries and exits. Intelligent person or vehicle detection helps reduce false alarms caused by camera shake, falling leaves and other irrelevant objects, significantly improving alarm accuracy.

Applications:

This technology can be used for various purposes thanks to its cutting-edge technology, such as:

Border and Coast Protection: Detection of objects or people that are at long distances, regardless of environmental conditions.

Cities: detection and identification of objects or people with high temperatures in citizen video surveillance. Thermal solutions for fever detection can take people's temperatures without the need for physical contact.

Forest Fire Prevention: detection of abrupt changes in temperatures of objects or places as well as detection of fire sources.

Electrical/Petroleum/Petrochemical Industry: thermometry calculation, prevention and process assurance in the industrial sector.
