Thermal IR camera manufacturer Cedip Infrared Systems has announced new Ethernet connectivity for its products.
The new connectivity options will be of benefit to users deploying multi-sensor camera networks for process control, surveillance and security, the firm says. Where data has to be transferred over long distances or in environments unfriendly to operators (radiation, temperature, toxicity) the ability to control cameras remotely via network cables, fibre optics or over an Ethernet network presents an elegant and low cost solution for IR monitoring, it is claimed.
Each Cedip IR camera can now be equipped with its own unique IP address allowing it to be addressed independently via its Ethernet connection, the makers say. This allows the control of all functions of the camera and provides access to thermal images using Cedip’s suite of software. Using the Ethernet connection images can be streamed without time delay to be viewed on a PC or monitor, the makers add.
