Detect, Recognize and Identify

Detection enables you to distinguish an object from the background environment, while recognition allows you to classify an object as a human, vehicle, or something else. Finally, identification means that you can discern information about the object, such as what the person is doing or what model of truck.

Thermal imaging surveillance cameras give you the ability to detect, recognize and identify threats at long range with unprecedented levels of accuracy, across weather and lighting conditions. The table below compares the detection, recognition and identification capabilities of Sierra-Olympia’s thermal camera systems.

*DRI Calculations are based on standard assumptions as recommended by Night Vision Labs. These assumptions include Beer’s Law Atmospheric Attenuation (85% Transmission / km), and Atmospheric Turbulence (cn2 = 1e-15). The reported target sizes are the characteristic dimension: sqrt (L x W). Results will vary as a function of weather, atmosphere, platform jitter etc.

Around the clock surveillance with long life cryocoolers

Around the clock surveillance with infrared technology is more reliable than ever before. Revolutionary advancements in cooler technology are allowing our powerful infrared cameras to operate continually for over 27k hours, the longest lifetime in the industry. That’s roughly 3 years of uninterrupted continuous operation with a powerful, HD-6µm sensor.
