Thermal Imaging

What is thermal imaging technology?
Thermal radiation appears on the electromagnetic spectrum and features longer wavelenghths than those of visible light. It is therefore generally invisible to human eyes.

But any object with a temperature above absolute zero emits a detectable amout of radiation. The higher an object's temperature, the more radiation, or heat, that is emitted. Taking advantage of the temperature differences between objects, thermal cameras make the invisible thermal radiation "visible" in the form of heat zone images.

Unrivalled environmental adaptability

The image reproduction of thermal cameras is not affected by lighting conditions—either extremely low light or even no light. Thermal imaging outperforms in harsh weather such as fog, smog, rain, and snow, so that it can work in virtually any environment, anytime.

Extended distance on perimeter protection

Hikvision’s thermal imaging offers an intrinsic advantage for perimeter protection by enabling classified object detection, distinguishing persons, vehicles, ships and more. By setting rules like intrusion and line crossing, these cameras quickly highlight objects against their backgrounds, even from significant distances.

Stay ahead of the flames

Hikvision’s cameras with thermal imaging detect temperature anomalies before a fire starts, spotting overheating equipment or electrical issues early.

Algorithms like the sun-reflection and forklift filters help reduce false alarms. In forest fire management, thermal imaging helps locate a fire point at first glance and can link with Google Maps to send fire coordinates, providing valuable time for fire prevention and saving lives and property.
