Representative Range Performance Options

Short/Medium Range Uncooled Cameras Typically used for ranges < 2-3km Ideal for terrain- limited installations Ideal for border crossing walk- arounds Thermal Only Multi-Sensor – Dual thermal cameras & day/night zoom on pan-tilt

Long Range Multi-Sensors

Rapid Migration to 640x480 sensors Industry Trend Mid Format DetectorsLarge Format Detectors 320 x 240 Pixels640 x 480 Pixels Having only 76,800 pixels to capture information about the scene. Having 307,200 pixels to capture information about the scene. 4x the resolution of mid format arrays. More pixels means better image quality, creating greater detection capability than mid format sensors, which has created the move to high definition. What does this mean?

– A digital, thermal image has more information in it than is obvious to the “naked” eye. The detector can sense differences to 0.03°C – Digital image processing allows us to apply dynamic, regional contrast settings to enhance human visual interpretation of events. With DDEWithout DDE Industry Trend Advanced Signal Processing Yields Higher Performance
