Chile. Those responsible for the initiative stressed that, in cases like this, "technology advances towards increasingly surprising places, with more solid purposes than ever."
At the Sky Costanera Viewpoint, located at the top of the Gran Torre Costanera in Santiago de Chile, the Axis Q87 and Q62 cameras, manufactured by the company Axis Communications, have been installed. The building currently dominates the capital's skyline, positioning itself with its 62 floors and 300 meters as the tallest skyscraper in South America.
When announcing the completed execution of the project, the manufacturer specified that these solutions are designed for the early detection of forest fires, playing a crucial role in the protection of citizens, as well as the flora and fauna of the city.
"A clear example of how technology can make a difference in preserving the environment and the safety of our communities. Thanks to the people who accompanied us at this inauguration, to Rodrigo Illesca Rojas, Regional Director of the National Forestry Corporation and to our colleagues from IronFire and Diprotec Chile for their trust," said Axis Communications.
Axis Q87
These Axis positioning cameras offer a powerful and cost-effective combination of visual and thermal video streams in a single PTZ camera for border surveillance and other applications with similar requirements. You only need a camera and an IP address to take advantage of long-distance thermal sensing, visual identification, and PTZ capabilities.
With AXIS Q87, operators can choose between really slow or super-fast horizontal movement from 0.05 to 120 degrees per second and vertical movement from 0.05 to 65 degrees per second. This gives them a smooth, bump-free panoramic view when they need it and can respond quickly to events. With thermal zoom models, a 3x thermal zoom is achieved that allows a person to be detected at a distance of up to 3 km, according to Johnson's criteria.
Axis Q62
Ideal for wide, long-distance surveillance, the Q62 series is specially designed with high-precision PTZ and long-range Optimized IR. It features a 1/2" sensor, 31x optical zoom, and built-in analytics to provide alerts when needed.
This heavy-duty PTZ camera complies with the MIL-STD-810G standard, ensuring reliable operation in the toughest conditions. And it can withstand winds of up to 245 km/h.
