New from the manufacturer Hanwha Vision is its QVGA AI thermal surveillance camera range. The cameras feature AI object detection, thermal imaging with noise equivalent temperature difference (NETD) of less than 20mK, long-range lens options up to 60mm, and eight or 30 frames per second (fps). Applications include data centres, tracking movement across long distances at borders and highways, or around large perimeters at airports and energy facilities. The AI thermal surveillance camera delivers detection in darkness, as well as in rain, fog and smoke.
AI object detection provides real-time identification of people and vehicles, reducing false alarms caused by shadows, animals, or wind-blown objects. Event-triggering analytics such as virtual line-crossing and loitering detection ensure more proactive monitoring. AI-based motion detection helps teams focus only on relevant movement and automates event alerts with high precision.
With NETD of less than 20mK, enabling detection differences of just 0.02 degrees C, these cameras provide thermal contrast. This allows operators to capture clearer, more detailed images in challenging low-contrast settings such as humid weather, fog, or at long distances where conventional thermal cameras may struggle. Also, the range can support temperature change detection in three areas of interest.
The thermal camera’s 13mm, 19mm, 35mm and 60mm focal length options, each available in 8fps or 30fps (frames per second), provide coverage for various surveillance needs. For closer-range monitoring, cameras with the 13mm lens can distinguish a vehicle at 115 metres and a person at 87m. As for long-range detection, the 60mm lens extends vehicle detection to 532m and person detection to 399m. With detection capabilities up to 5.4km (based on Johnson Criteria), the thermals provide the reach to protect expansive perimeters, Hanwha Vision says.
The 8fps cameras fall outside of the Wassenaar Arrangement, an export control regime that governs specific goods including thermal cameras with frame rates over 9fps. This makes exporting and importing them simpler, enabling a quicker delivery time. The cameras feature an IP67 weather rating, IK10 impact resistance, and a shielded RJ-45 connector for added surge protection. NEMA 4X, NEMA-TS 2, and MIL-STD-810H standards compliance mean these cameras are significantly more rugged than a typical camera, the makers add. As for cybersecurity the cameras come with secure boot, firmware encryption, and a FIPS 140-3 Level 3 certified secure element.
