Five advantages of thermal cameras with edge analytics for perimeter security
Five advantages of thermal cameras with edge analytics for perimeter security The camera integrates with clients’ C&C platforms without purchasing third-party analytics suits, reducing costs and cross-supplier integration. Since edge analytics are managed by events as opposed to constant streams – it goes a long way to reduce the level of attention required from […]

Advancements in Bottom-Up Quantification of Fugitive Emissions using Optical Gas Imaging
The rising demand for quantifying leaks and emissions of methane and volatile organic compounds (VOCs), in terms of emission rate, raised the question of whether quantification-optical-gas-imaging (QOGI) software was capable of estimating emission rates remotely and accurately. This article describes, in detail, the science and calibration procedures of a quantification approach. What is OGI? Optical […]

The Use of Johnson’s Criteria for Thermal Camera and Systems Performance
When customers are considering which thermal security camera to buy, one of the first questions to the manufacturers of thermal imagers is usually: “At what distance can the thermal camera detect a target?” In other words, what is the camera’s ability to capture very small details at great distances? When thinking about effective surveillance, it […]
