Thermal Imaging Camera Detects Potential Fires at a Very Early Stage

Thermal imaging cameras are used for a wide variety of applications. Thanks to their ability to measure temperatures in a non-contact mode, they can also easily be used for fire prevention. Any industry which has some type of storage area where goods or material are stored is susceptible to self combustion of material. Typical examples of this are storage of splint wood, batteries, waste recycling materials and coal.  All these applications have in common that there is a fundamental need to detect hot spots and prevent them from turning into a fire. more19.05.2011

CCTV: Addressing Security at Photovoltaic Power Plants

Photovoltaic plants are steadily gaining popularity as an environmentally friendly means to generate power. One related question is how the vast outdoor installations can be protected against theft, unauthorized access and vandalism.

Light Work

Over the last few years, environmental awareness has increased drastically. Instead of relying only on fossil or nuclear energy for generating electricity, renewable energies have come into play. Power is generated from natural resources such as wind, water, tides, geothermal heat and solar energy. One of the main solar plants in Spain is the Abertura Solar Park. It represents an investment of over 225 Million Euro and FLIR Systems have provided a total surveillance solution consisting of thermal imaging cameras, network video storage and video analytics. more
