Overview
The DefendIR is an industry leading mid-range thermal imager that can see in complete darkness and through a multitude of environmental conditions including smoke, rain, snow, dust and dense fog. The DefendIR is based on FLIR technology developed for the U.S. Military. Built on a high quality traditional core, the DefendIR vaults ahead of conventional FLIR capabilities through the innovative use of new and proprietary technology. VisionSense" combines video feeds from both a visible light (CCD) camera and an Infrared camera. It offers user-controlled, customized real-time mixing and merging of the two visual sources. This generates the ability to penetrate glare, as well as see through windows, glass or water. These elemental challenges are highly problematic for conventional FLIR cameras. |
The DefendIR is ideally suited for day and night perimeter security, maritime surveillance, and DHS/DoD applications. Offering fifteen lens and detector combinations, each camera can be customized to meet detailed range performance requirements. Featuring a sleek integrated pan and tilt design, the camera is capable of continuous 360° panning and a +/- 80° tilt withstanding temperatures ranging from -40° to +60°C. An external heater is available for extreme temperature situations. The ruggedized housing is environmentally sealed to meet NEMA 4 and IP65 specifications and has been tested and certified by an independent lab. In 2004, the DefendIR withstood the full wrath of Hurricane Ivan as it made landfall on the Florida Panhandle, maintaining full operational performance throughout the storm.
