The Dahua Lite series thermal camera, DH-TPC-BF2120, featuring night-vision, remote surveillance, and temperature detection will make its debut at Ifsec International on 20-22 June 2017 at London Excel, UK. This thermal mini hybrid camera is a powerful combination of cost-effective and intelligent functions, is marketed as the first thermal camera specifically designed for the commercial market.
It deploys Dahua’s advanced image analysis and intelligent algorithms for dual-channel spectrum with external infrared illumination. This camera combines one thermal camera for monitoring in total darkness and one optical Sony Starvis sensor built in to acquire high resolution colour images. It uses one IP address for networking connectivity. The mounted IR led illumination is turned on at night to make sure no detail is missed in any lighting conditions.
Though an entry-level product in the Dahua thermal camera portfolio, the DH-TPC-BF2120’s numerous intelligent functions make it a one-stop solution for small and medium sized surveillance projects. Supporting the ONVIF Protocol, the DH-TPC-BF2120 is compatible with mainstream third-party VMS platforms on the market, such as Genetec (Security Center 5.6 GA), Milestone (Xprotect Corporate 2017 R1) as well as Dahua DSS (Dahua Security Software).
Until today, many thermal cameras in the industrial sector have been very bulky in size and above the affordable limit of most commercial projects. Dahua’s entry-level thermal mini hybrid bullet camera – DH-TPC-BF2120, features mini dimensions, a dual-channel spectrum, and intelligent functions at an affordable price. Its installation is the same as a typical security surveillance camera and is also durable. It has a small housing design with external dimensions of 9.39″ x 3.56″ x 3.56″. The ingress protection grade reaches up to IP67, which has strong environmental adaptability against water, dust and other contaminants.
In addition to basic functions such as ROI, IVS, PIP, image fusion etc, the DH-TPC-BF2120 supports multiple intelligent functions, meeting the demand of daily video surveillance, fire hazard warning and alarm message delivery. Fires are usually caught by imperceptible hidden flames, which are hard for general surveillance systems to detect. Utilising thermal imaging technology, the DH-TPC-BF2120 is able to discover hidden flames quickly and effectively. It precisely locates the fire allowing timely emergency response to nip the fire in the bud
