Samsung introduce new competitively priced Thermal Imaging cameras

/in , , /by

Thermal Imaging camerasSamsung 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.
