Thermal imaging monitoring is widely used in the security field
Share
Thermal imaging surveillance is widely applied in the field of security, mainly reflected in the following aspects:
Intrusion Detection and Prevention
- Perimeter Protection: Around important places such as airports, prisons, military bases, and industrial park areas, the thermal imaging surveillance system can conduct real-time monitoring 24 hours a day without being affected by lighting or severe weather. Once a person or vehicle approaches the perimeter, the system can quickly capture the target through changes in thermal signals, issue an alarm in a timely manner, and notify the security personnel, effectively preventing illegal intrusion.
- Internal Building Monitoring: The thermal imaging cameras installed inside the building can monitor various areas. When an unauthorized person enters, even in a dark environment or a hidden corner, they can be detected due to the heat emitted by the human body, helping the security personnel to quickly locate and deal with the situation.
Personnel and Behavior Monitoring
- Crowd Counting and Flow Monitoring: In densely populated places such as shopping malls, railway stations, and schools, thermal imaging surveillance can accurately obtain the number of people and the direction of their flow by identifying and counting the thermal signals of the human body. It provides data support for the operation management and safety evacuation of the place. When the crowd density reaches the warning threshold, an alarm will be issued in a timely manner to prevent accidents such as stampedes.
- Abnormal Behavior Recognition: By combining thermal imaging technology with intelligent analysis algorithms, it is possible to monitor and analyze the behavior of personnel, such as abnormal behaviors like loitering, running, and falling. Once an abnormality is detected, the system will automatically trigger an alarm to help the security personnel pay attention to and deal with potential security issues in a timely manner.
Fire Early Warning and Prevention
- Early Fire Detection: In the initial stage of a fire, thermal imaging surveillance can capture minute temperature changes and issue an alarm when the fire is still in the smoldering stage and there is no obvious smoke or open flame. It is more forward-looking than traditional smoke alarms and temperature sensors, and gains precious time for fire fighting.
- Firefighting and Rescue Assistance: At the fire scene, firefighters can use thermal imaging equipment to penetrate the smoke and clearly see the location of people inside the building, the direction of the fire spread, and the distribution of high-temperature areas, so as to formulate a more scientific and reasonable rescue route and fire extinguishing plan, improving the efficiency and safety of rescue.
Item and Facility Monitoring
- Protection of Valuable Items: For places where valuable items are stored, such as museums and vaults, thermal imaging surveillance can monitor the status of the items in real time. When an object approaches or touches a valuable item, it will cause a temperature change, and the system can detect it and issue an alarm in a timely manner to prevent theft incidents.
- Facility and Equipment Fault Monitoring: In the infrastructure and key equipment of industries such as power, communication, and chemical engineering, thermal imaging surveillance can detect the temperature distribution on the surface of the equipment in a timely manner, discover potential fault hazards such as equipment overheating and partial discharge, and carry out maintenance and repair in advance to avoid safety accidents caused by equipment failures and ensure the normal operation of the facilities.
Applications in Special Scenarios
- Maritime Security: In scenarios such as maritime patrols and port monitoring, thermal imaging surveillance can detect targets such as ships and personnel from a long distance, and is not affected by harsh environments such as sea waves and fog. It can be used to combat illegal and criminal activities such as maritime smuggling, human trafficking, and illegal fishing to ensure maritime security.
- Forest Security: It is used for forest fire monitoring and wildlife protection. Thermal imaging surveillance can monitor the temperature changes in the forest in a large range and in real time, and discover the early signs of forest fires in a timely manner. At the same time, it can also monitor the wild animals in the forest, protect rare species, and prevent illegal activities such as poaching.
