Smart thermal camera targets outdoor security, video surveillance

Feb. 28, 2013
From SightLogix, the SightSensor NS60's thermal video analytics accurately detects intruders over a large area -- up to 60 meters at a 63 degree field of view.

SightLogix (Princeton, NJ), a manufacturer of smart thermal cameras for outdoor security applications, has introduced its SightSensor NS60, an addition to the company's existing line of SightSensor line of thermal video analytic cameras. The company says the NS60 video monitoring system brings analytic accuracy and the clearest thermal images 24 hours/day to a broad range of applications.

According to the company, SightSensor NS60 video surveillance accurately detects intruders over a large area -- up to 60 meters at a 63 degree field of view (FOV). Versatile camera placement options eliminate infrastructure such as poles and trenching compared to other video and perimeter sensor technologies, making the NS60 an economical solution for preventing copper theft, protecting storage yards, substations, communication towers, entry gates, well heads, car lots, or to fill gaps and blind spots along irregularly-shaped fences or topography.

Like all SightSensors, the NS60 leverages on-board video processing for high Probability of Detect (PD) and low Nuisance Alarm Rates (NAR) while providing crisp, clear images, night and day. The NS60 consists of a thermal imager, complete with lens optics, electronic stabilization, image contrast enhancement, video analytics software, camera control, and geospatial target tracking within a ruggedized, NEMA 4X IP66 nitrogen-purged housing. SightSensor cameras are pre-integrated with most third-party video management, physical security information management (PSIM) and access control systems.

“The NS60 continues our commitment to provide the most trusted and cost-effective solutions for protecting outdoor areas with video,” said John Romanowich, SightLogix President and CEO. “This addition to the SightSensor product line makes the highest-performing security affordable to mainstream applications.”
