Introduction

In the last 30 years, better perimeter security and fire surveillance has meant deploying visual cameras and other sensors as a force multiplier. Today, security cameras built with multiple imagers and on-board video analytics represent the latest evolution in these models—bringing together the best of video, sensors, and artificial intelligence for real-time insights and threat detection in harsh environments. When security directors at critical infrastructure sites utilize the new FLIR FH-Series multispectral cameras, they leverage industry-leading technologies that expand coverage, reduce false alarms, and improve 24/7 monitoring.

The Advantages of Always-On, Multispectral Devices

To address the challenge of false positives that stem from low quality images, Teledyne FLIR built the FH-Series, which consists of two camera models. The first is FH-Series ID, which features best-in-class thermal imaging detail, 4K visible imaging, and high-performance on-board analytics for reliable intruder detection, classification, and geo-location. The second is the FH-Series R which includes the same features of the FH Series-ID but with the addition of radiometric technology to enhance incident response in early fire detection applications. Both models are outfitted with outstanding thermal sensitivity, as well as the ability to instantaneously assess alarms and identify details using 4K imagery, in order to save responders valuable seconds during alarm events.
