Samsung has added two new thermal imaging cameras to its professional security products portfolio.
The SCB-9050, which has a detection range of 360 metres and the SCB-9051 which has a detection range of 1,260 metres, deliver enhanced detection capability to a host of security, industrial and safety applications such as perimeter protection, checking for hot-spots and monitoring levels of liquids in containers. As thermal imaging cameras are sensitive to heat sources they are able to detect objects and people in environmental conditions that would be impossible with traditional video cameras such as through smoke, snow, heavy rain and fog. This also makes them extremely effective at achieving their detection ranges both during the day and at night without the requirement of white or IR lighting. Read more
