Thermal and Night Vision Cameras
Infrared Night Vision Cameras and Thermal Imaging for Colorado Properties
For commercial and industrial buildings in Denver, Aurora, and the greater Colorado area, Security Surveillance System installs and sets up thermal, infrared, and night-vision security cameras. Thermal and night vision systems continue to provide clear, actionable footage when ordinary cameras lose visibility at night or in inclement weather, enabling your security team to identify threats in situations that would otherwise result in hazardous blind spots.
The weather in Colorado presents real surveillance issues. Conventional cameras may not work during the hours when your property is most vulnerable, such as at night, in fog, amid blowing snow, or during abrupt temperature changes. These conditions are precisely what thermal imaging cameras and infrared night vision cameras are designed for.
What Is a Thermal Camera?
A thermal camera doesn’t need light at all. A thermal imaging camera detects the heat signature, or infrared radiation, that all objects and living things naturally release, as opposed to catching visible light reflected off surfaces. On the thermal picture, an object appears brighter the warmer it is. This means that in total darkness, through smoke, through light fog, and even behind thin foliage, a thermal camera can identify a person, car, or animal.
Thermal cameras are an effective addition to conventional cameras, not their replacement. When long-range detection is required, security surveillance systems typically install thermal imaging cameras along perimeter fence lines, rooftops, parking lots, and vast outdoor areas. Once a danger has been verified, high-resolution IP cameras are used for close-up identification.
FLIR Heat Camera Systems
Security Surveillance System installs and maintains FLIR heat camera systems for commercial, industrial, and critical infrastructure clients throughout Colorado. FLIR is the industry standard for thermal imaging camera technology. When a heat signature reaches a designated zone, FLIR thermal cameras, which come in fixed, PTZ, and multi-sensor configurations, can be connected with video analytics software to instantly sound an alarm. A FLIR thermal camera system offers detection capabilities that no traditional camera can equal for establishments needing the highest level of perimeter protection, such as utility yards, manufacturing sites, data centers, and distribution warehouses.
Night Vision Security Cameras
Infrared (IR) LED illuminators integrated into the camera housing are used by night vision security cameras to beam light in a spectrum that is invisible to the human eye. The IR illuminators automatically turn on when a scene becomes dark, filling the area with infrared light that the camera sensor can detect. Even in total darkness, the outcome is crisp monochrome or black-and-white video.
Throughout the Denver metro, Security Surveillance System places outside night vision security cameras at entry points, loading docks, parking lots, sidewalks, and building exteriors. Our infrared night vision cameras preserve image quality in rain, snow, and below-freezing temperatures since they are rated for Colorado’s outdoor environments.
What Is Color Night Vision?
In extremely low light, some sophisticated night vision security cameras may capture full-color video in addition to black-and-white infrared photography. Color night vision cameras employ extremely sensitive sensors and sophisticated processing to capture color information even in near-darkness, in contrast to ordinary infrared night vision cameras that provide monochrome imagery. This is important for identification since color night vision cameras are able to record information that monochrome infrared cameras cannot, such as the color of clothing and vehicles. Although commercial-grade color night vision cameras from our surveillance brand partners offer significantly better range, resolution, and dependability for business applications, Ring color night vision is a consumer-facing example of this technology.
Infrared Night Vision Camera Coverage and Range
The IR LED array’s power and the image sensor’s sensitivity determine an infrared night vision camera’s detection range. 30 to 60 feet can be efficiently illuminated by entry-level cameras. Our partner brands, Uniview, Digital Watchdog, and LTS, provide commercial-grade infrared cameras with an IR range of 100 feet to 300 feet or more on long-range outdoor models. In order to avoid dark areas in your coverage, Security Surveillance System conducts a site evaluation at each location to determine the right IR range and camera placement.
Choosing an Infrared and Night Vision Camera
Your particular application will determine which night vision solution is best for you. When you need affordable, dependable low-light coverage in covered parking lots, internal hallways, and well-defined outside zones, an infrared night vision camera with typical IR LEDs works well. For entryways and public spaces where it’s important to recognize people by appearance, a camera with infrared color imaging and night vision is preferable. For broad open perimeters, huge lots, and high-security institutions where the goal is to detect a person at 500 yards in complete darkness, a FLIR heat camera or thermal PTZ is the best option.
During your site consultation, our staff walks you through these differences and suggests particular models based on your budget and coverage requirements.
Night Surveillance Camera Integration
At a site that is professionally set up, thermal and night vision cameras work together. Your new or current video management system, alarm triggers, remote monitoring platform, and access control are all integrated with your night surveillance cameras by a security surveillance system. Before an officer ever physically checks the tape, the system can instantly notify your monitoring center, light up the area, and shut pertinent access points when a thermal camera detects a heat signature crossing your fence line at 2:00 a.m.
