PTZ Thermal Cameras Features Adoption of Advanced Uncooled Thermal Detector with High Resolution. Meet The Needs of Concealed Monitoring, Not Affected by Harsh Environmental such as Haze, Smoke, Dust, Rain, Snow, and Night. Accurate Detection of Environmental Fire or Hazards.

1929 First thermographic camera In 1929, Hungarian physicist Kálmán Tihanyi invented the infrared-sensitive (night vision) electronic television camera for anti-aircraft defense in Britain.

You may wonder if a thermal night vision device is somehow different then. And well, we could basically say that there is no such thing as thermal night vision because thermal vision works both day and night.

Infrared Waves Detecting Infrared Waves, Not Visible Light Thermal imagers make pictures from heat, not visible light. Heat (also called infrared or thermal energy) and light are both parts of the electromagnetic spectrum, but a camera that can detect visible light won't see thermal energy, and vice versa.

PTZ cameras are pan, tilt and zoom robotic video cameras that allow an operator to control the camera remotely. PTZ cameras can pan horizontally, tilt vertically and zoom in on a subject to enhance the image quality without digital pixelation.

PTZ cameras are used in situations in which the machine vision camera must move to cover a larger area or automatically identify and follow a moving target. They are a common choice for the most advanced security and surveillance applications, such as the monitoring of critical infrastructure.

All objects emit infrared energy, known as a heat signature. An infrared camera (also known as a thermal imager) detects and measures the infrared energy of objects. The camera converts that infrared data into an electronic image that shows the apparent surface temperature of the object being measured.

Thermal imaging is an impressive and compact method of identifying, measuring and visualising heat patterns, particularly in environments where there's a lack of visible light.

Thermal imaging doesn't require any light to work. Night vision works by amplifying visible light in the immediate vicinity. Thermal imaging uses infrared sensors to detect temperature differences between objects in its line of sight. Night vision enlarges the light in a scene and converts it to green-tinted images.

Traditional night vision devices use optoelectronic image enhancement, which works by sensing small amounts of infrared light that are reflected off objects and then electrically amplifying that light into a characteristic glowing green image.

A PTZ controller is a separate device that can be set up to control your PTZ camera's features and pan-tilt-zoom functions. Typically, these controllers have: Joysticks to control the camera's movement. Buttons for accessing presets or switching between cameras.

Here are some common characteristics of PTZ Cameras.

• User-Controlled. The user is able to control the PTZ camera with precision and ease through a desktop joystick.
• Software Controlled.
• Remote Controlled.
• Automatic Tours.
• Low Light.
• Night Vision.

PTZ stands for Pan, Tilt, and Zoom. Where Pan means to rotate, Tilt to move the lens up and down and Zoom to zoom in or out on a part of the image you're trying to capture. In short, a PTZ camera is a controllable camera that can move over 3 axes.
