Perimeter visualization and threat detection can be challenging
Range from camera to perimeter, wood lines, fences, lighting, and many other challenges need to be considered.
We were asked to show a thermal imaging camera at 150' along a wooded perimeter in the same week that we were asked to show thermal next to visible at an airport hangar.
The video below shows thermal observation of a wooded perimeter at a range of 150' using a Bosch MIC 600 Series thermal imaging camera. A visible camera was used to capture a similar walk of the same property line in order to provide a visual reference. The side-by-side video comparison provides a good indication of why thermal imaging is helpful for detection of a potential intruder even during daylight hours. Visible imaging can be used to zero-in once a threat is detected in order to identify the specific threat. Click here if you don't see the video below.
The video below was made for a second client using the same Bosch MIC 600 Series, along with several fixed high definition cameras, and a Bosch AutoDome 7000 HD 720p Starlight Pan-Tilt-Zoom camera. The range from the camera on top of the airport hangar to the target ranges from 700' to 1 mile. Click here if you don't see the video below.

More about Bosch MIC Thermal Imaging Cameras:
The MIC Series 612 Thermal model combines both a high quality 36x zoom optical day/night camera module and an un-cooled, long wavelength IR thermal imager with a 35 or 50 mm lens that sit side-by-side within the housing. The camera delivers object detection at nearly 2.4 miles even in complete darkness, fog or snow.
The MIC Series 612 camera also features Bosch's standard controller interface to make it easier to integrate the MIC Series into systems that already use Bosch surveillance products. The new controller also gives end users greater precision in their command of camera functions and optics.
Available with either standard or high resolution thermal sensors, the MIC Series 612 captures images in the harshest environments, including a broad range of industrial and government applications, from critical infrastructure to defense to transportation. The IK10-rated vandal- and corrosion-resistant design includes an IP 68/NEMA 6P certified aluminum casing with a long-life silicone wiper. Allowing no water or dust ingress, the MIC Series 612 Thermal camera provides uncompromised performance in the most challenging surveillance conditions.
All MIC Series cameras can be mounted upright or inverted without compromising the IP/NEMA 6P rating. This capability simplifies project planning and provides increased installation flexibility.
