Thermal and visible imaging, single-spectrum and bispectral, fixed and motorised.
A thermal picture is only worth having if something is reading it at four in the morning. Detection, classification and change detection run on the camera, so a site with a thin link receives an alarm rather than a feed nobody watches.
Six configurations on one platform. Same housing, same control interface, same analytics.
Thermal and bispectral cameras for industrial and enterprise sites: perimeters, plants, pipelines, ports, utilities and infrastructure. Six configurations share one platform, from a bispectral PTZ to a compact fixed thermal camera, with detection and analytics running on the camera itself.
Bispectral PTZ (uncooled LWIR thermal plus 4K visible), thermal PTZ, optical PTZ, bispectral fixed, thermal fixed and compact thermal. Lenses and detector are chosen against the site and confirmed in writing with the quotation.
One housing carries two aligned channels: an uncooled long-wave infrared (LWIR) thermal sensor that sees heat in darkness, smoke and light fog, and a 4K CMOS visible camera for colour detail and identification. Both point at the same scene.
Change detection, intrusion and line crossing, classification of people, vehicles, vessels and animals, auto-tracking, hotspot and rate-of-rise alarms, occupancy and man-down, slew-to-cue from radar, and tamper and blockage detection.
Yes. Hotspot analytics combine an absolute temperature threshold, a rate-of-rise alarm and a comparison against the rest of the line, so an insulation anomaly on a hot line, a failing conveyor idler or a warming stockpile is flagged early. Areas expected to run hot, such as bare flanges, can be masked.
Video streams to standard video management software, events and control are available through an open API, Modbus TCP and OPC UA for SCADA and PLCs, and dry-contact alarm outputs drive sirens, lights and gates. An integration pack is available on request.
A sealed IP66 / IP67 alloy housing with a salt-capable powder-coat finish, rated from −40 to +65 °C. Analytics run locally, with no cloud dependency.
Yes. Each unit is supplied with compatible surge protection devices (SPDs) for its power, network and control lines.
Send the specification request with the site, the targets and the distances that matter. The configuration, lenses and terms come back confirmed in writing with the quotation.
Thermal or visible, one channel or two, motorised or fixed. Reach follows from the detector, the optics and the air between you and the target, so it is sized against your site and confirmed in writing.
Inspect precision-milled billet geometries, sensor payloads, and finish coatings in real-time 3D.
Calculate minimum detector line-pairs on critical human and vehicle targets across working ranges.
Horizontal field of view drawn from the aperture, with the detection, recognition and identification bands for a standing person. Each target is rasterised onto the detector at the selected distance, so the pixel and line-pair count is shown rather than asserted. Drag along the cone to set the range.
| TARGET · Dc = √(W × H) | DETECTION · 1.5 px | RECOGNITION · 6.0 px | IDENTIFICATION · 12.0 px |
|---|
R = Dc · f / (n · p), where n is the pixel count across the critical dimension and p the 12 µm pitch; one line pair is two pixels. This is the geometric limit. Atmosphere, thermal contrast and NETD reduce it, which is why reach is sized against the site and confirmed in writing.
Continuous pan, tilt and zoom, for wide ground where one position has to cover several approaches.
Thermal and visible in one motorised head
Single spectrum, motorised
Visible and low light, non-thermal
One scene, watched without interruption. Less to specify, less to drive, and nothing that can be left pointing the wrong way.
Thermal and visible, static mount
Single spectrum, static mount
Small housing, short reach
One housing standard, one control interface, one analytics stack. An integrator learns the platform once.
Uncooled thermal, with a visible channel where the configuration calls for one. Optics are chosen against the target, not the other way round.
| Thermal detector | Uncooled VOx, VGA class and above, 12 µm |
|---|---|
| Thermal sensitivity | NETD ≤ 50 mK @ f/1.0 |
| Thermal optics | Athermalised, fixed or motorised, matched to the task |
| Visible channel | Low-light CMOS, fixed or motorised zoom |
One housing standard across the range: sealed, powder-coated, tested cold and tested hot, and finished for coastal air.
| Environmental | IP66 / IP67, −40 to +65 °C, salt-capable finish |
|---|---|
| Power | DC or PoE, heater and de-ice on the motorised units |
| Mounting | Pole, wall, mast and parapet, common bolt pattern |
One control interface across the range, so an integrator learns the platform once and it holds for every unit on the site.

Rules are drawn on the scene, not written into a config file. Everything below works on the thermal channel alone, in full darkness.
A learned reference frame, re-registered and drift-compensated, then differenced. Anything that appears, moves or disappears and stays that way raises an alarm.
Zones and tripwires with direction, dwell and minimum-size filters.
Person, vehicle, vessel and animal, so a moving tree line stops calling the guard.
The head locks a target and holds it through the zoom range.
Absolute, rate-of-rise and line-comparison alarms on insulated pipework, conveyors, stockpiles, flares and forest.
People counted and posture watched in spaces where nobody should be alone.
Radar, fence or a second camera puts a bearing in; the head is already looking.
Alarms if the view is covered, the aim is knocked off or the focus is lost.
A camera is delivered into a system that already exists. It speaks to that system rather than asking to replace it.
Dark, exposed, hot, or a long way from the nearest operator. Usually more than one of those at once.
A visible camera needs light. A radar finds something without saying what it is. Thermal does both, in the dark — and the visible channel reads what needs reading. Detection runs on the camera, so a thin link carries alarms, not video.
Each detection shows its channel: thermal works in darkness and smoke, visible needs light, both uses the two together.
Hot by design — where normal and dangerous sit a few degrees apart.
Threshold and rate-of-rise alarms on flares, stockpiles, bearings and switchgear — before it is a fire.
Flame on, flame out, pilot loss — read from heat, so smoke and glare do not confuse it.
The thermal trace a release leaves on a bund floor or flange, before anything is visible.
Anything that appears, moves or disappears from a static scene raises an alarm.
Long, dark boundaries: did something cross, what was it, and which way did it go.
Zones and tripwires with direction, dwell and size filters — through a moonless night.
Person, vehicle, vessel or animal, so a swaying tree line stops calling the guard.
Plate, make and colour at gates and access roads, where there is light to read by.
Radar or a fence sensor sends a bearing; the head turns and holds the target.
Linear assets, watched from the one position there is.
Plant and people on a right of way where there should be neither.
Haul-road traffic and load cycles, counted and typed without ground loops.
Landfill and stockpile hotspots, mapped while still below the surface.
Direction and pace on haul roads, flagged against the rule for that stretch.
Watching over people, rather than watching for them.
Headcount and posture where nobody should be alone, or lying down.
A body-heat signature against cold water — where thermal has no rival.
Helmet, hi-vis and harness checked at the gate and at height.
Counts at muster points, gates and turnstiles — a number, not an opinion.
Wide, empty ground where heat is the first warning and often the only one.
A heat source against cool canopy, found before a plume is visible.
Large animals at a boundary, road or village edge — in darkness, without lights.
People and animals resolved in one frame, so an approach is called early.
Movement into a reserve at hours, or on lines, where there should be none.
The part of the job that decides whether the camera is still earning its place in year four.
Every unit ships with surge protection devices (SPDs) matched to its interfaces, for fitting where each cable run enters the cabinet.
The application, the distance, and what you need to make out at that distance. That is enough for a configuration and a price.
Access Dynamics designs and builds thermal and bispectral imaging for sites that cannot afford to miss what happens in the dark. We keep a low profile. The work is for the people responsible for those sites, and we discuss it with them directly.
Tell us the site and the problem. We will tell you plainly whether we are the right answer.
