International. This type of thermal camera is able to recognize that the temperature of a monitored area exceeded the limits or underwent an abrupt change, as in power substations, where they can be used with great efficiency. Axis Communications, launched its first thermal camera with temperature monitoring.
AXIS Q2901-E thermal imaging camera indicates the temperature of objects and allows you to know, from a distance, if the viewed scene has overheated or cooler areas than normal. This generates automatic alerts to operators - very useful information in industrial environments, especially in power substations.
The new thermal camera can help, for example, in monitoring power generation and relay environments. "By positioning the camera in front of the keys of a switch, you can see that one of the keys is heating up and generating more current demand. The control room operator can be informed of this variation without having to look at the monitor 24 hours a day, since the camera has an intelligence that detects the change and alerts the supervisory team, "says Sergio Fukushima, technical manager of Axis.
One of the great advantages of the new thermal camera with temperature monitoring is the possibility of detecting intruders even in total darkness and triggering alarms. This can prevent acts of vandalism and theft that end up compromising production.
With lens options for viewing long or short distances, AXIS Q2901-E can also be used to monitor critical equipment, server rooms and storage areas. "Some thermal camera customers have asked us for a model that also indicates the temperature of objects," says Erik Frännlid, Director of Product Management at Axis. "AXIS Q2901-E can be used to monitor the temperature of equipment 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, to eliminate the risk of overheating."
Temperature alarm cameras are expected to be available by the first quarter of 2015 through Axis distribution channels in the region.
