Thermal imaging camera stations ‘see’ through fog or in darkness
Thermal imaging cameras offer solutions to some difficult problems. With the ability to ‘see’ in total darkness, through mist or fog and with excellent contrast and sensitivity, thermal imaging camera stations can be used for a variety of duties; security, surveillance, navigation and process monitoring. Thermal imaging camera stations differ from traditional illuminated infrared cameras, as they operate solely from radiated target heat. This results in systems with far greater sensitivity and much better contrast meaning better image quality.
The Equipment and Protective Systems intended for use in Potentially Explosive Atmospheres (ATEX) Directive 94/9/EC came into force on 1st July 2003. Developments have allowed cameras to be made and certified to the latest ATEX Equipment Directive and deployed in applications, including oil spillage detection and imaging in total darkness.
