DESIGNED FOR SYSTEMS INTEGRATORS, SIERRA-OLYMPIA’S THERMAL SURVEILLANCE CAMERAS PROVIDE UNPARALLELED LONG RANGE THREAT DETECTION—EVEN IN COMPLETE DARKNESS.

Our mid-wave and long-wave infrared (MWIR & LWIR) surveillance solutions deliver around-the-clock protection for critical infrastructure and assets. Built with best-in-class components, Sierra-Olympia’s thermographic security cameras detect objects, vehicles and personnel at distances comparable to those achieved by traditional, visible-light cameras.

Highly sensitive, lightweight and cost-efficient, our thermographic imaging systems can be integrated into practically any application, including aerial, fixed mount, and multi-sensor PTZ (pan, tilt and zoom) systems. Feel confident in the security of ports, borders, military installations and other high-risk facilities. With Sierra-Olympia, the next generation of surveillance is in sight.

OPTIMIZE FOR LONGER FOCAL LENGTH, LOWER WEIGHT OR EXTENDED COOLER LIFE.

Thermal imaging security cameras are most effective when they are custom-tailored to your needs. Whether you’re looking for a lighter, more compact camera core to fit into a tight space or longer cooler life for less frequent maintenance, our experts are on hand to help you find the best thermal surveillance solution.

  • Ventus HOT

    Available in 300 mm, 690 mm or 900 mm lens configurations, Ventus HOT is a long-life, high-performance mid-wave infrared (MWIR) camera core. The 640 x 512 resolution imager is designed to perform in a variety of atmospheric conditions, including high-moisture environments. A powerful on-board processing engine ensures the best image quality, with features like image stabilization, automatic gain control, and one-touch autofocus.

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.
