The perimeter is the first line of defense against intruders who could put people or assets in danger. Hangzhou Hikvision Digital Technology Co.One of the top global company for video surveillance has been introduce the latest generation of cost-effective thermal cameras. This solution of most effective for small and medium businesses to secure their perimeter – even in the dark, and in challenging weather conditions such as fog, heavy rain, and snow.
Here are the advantage to deploy thermal cameras.
In complex light condition, at night, or in severe weather conditions, many conventional cameras may not be able to recognize intruders and alert security teams. The latest generation of cost-effective thermal cameras can recognize tiny changes in temperature, allowing them to detect people or vehicles that cross perimeter boundaries even in extremely low-light or low-visibility conditions.
Some thermal cameras incorporate deep learning algorithms to distinguish humans and vehicles from animals, falling leaves, and other moving objects that could otherwise trigger false alarms. This means that intrusion alarms are only triggered when a real perimeter threat is identified, which supports a faster response with far less time spent analyzing footage and investigating false alarms.
Another key benefit of thermal cameras is that they are effective at longer distances than many conventional ‘visible light’ cameras. This means that small and medium businesses can reduce equipment and installation costs for their perimeter-protection solutions, while also monitoring camera feeds with fewer team members.
Hikvision’s thermal cameras for perimeter protection
Hikvision offers a range of affordable thermal cameras that are ideally suited for perimeter protection in small and medium applications such as residential areas, office buildings, car parks, factories, stores, and even museums.
With Hikvision’s leading thermal camera range, detection in real time of people or vehicles that breach perimeter defenses is made possible, even in low-light and poor-visibility conditions. As an added benefit, overlay of traditional video images on top of thermal camera images is possible, which ensures availability of evidence needed to support legal processes or insurance claims in the event of a perimeter breach.
Hikvision thermal cameras in action
Hikvision’s range of thermal turret, bullet, and speed dome cameras are already being deployed in many perimeter protection solutions for housing developments, car parks, factories, stores, farms, and even museums.
In one example of a successful project, a leading car brand is protecting one of its European dealerships 24 hours-a-day with Hikvision thermal cameras. In this case, the Hikvision camera alerts security teams if perimeter defenses are breached, enabling a real-time response to prevent the theft of vehicles or parts.
