Acal BFi has launched the CCTi family of thermal imaging cameras. Providing an IP and analogue video output at a resolution of 384p x 288p or 640p x 480p, the thermal cameras give a highly stable output in all lighting according to the electronics and photonics product company. Their imaging performance is unaffected by fog, smoke or other effects that impair the output from a visible camera, the makers add. The cameras are for use in power plants and other utility sites, prisons, car parks, tunnels, mobile surveillance towers and at perimeters, the firm says.
The cameras come in four variants:
• CCTi-300P-01 thermal imager offers 384p x 288p resolution and Pan, Tilt and Zoom (PTZ) control, with analogue video output (no IP)
• CCTi-300P-02 is a PTZ 384p x 288p dual visible/thermal camera with dual analogue video outputs (no IP)
• CCTi-300B-01 is a bullet thermal camera with 384p x 288p resolution, providing simultaneous analogue video and IP outputs
• CCTi-600B-01 is a bullet thermal camera with a higher 640p x 480p resolution, providing simultaneous analogue video and IP outputs
Multiple lens options are available to give the required field of view and range.
Because these thermal imagers work are effective in daylight or at night, they offer users a low total cost of ownership compared to conventional visible CCTV systems, the company suggests, since no area lighting is required for the imagers to work.
The output from the CCTi cameras is compatible with video analytics systems, and the cameras support standard security system control protocols, the makers add.
Alex Schneider, business development director at Acal BFi, said: ‘Acal BFi has introduced the CCTi thermal cameras to give Europe’s security integrators and installers a new option offering better value for money than any previous thermal camera. We are confident that, once security professionals have seen a CCTi camera in operation, they will feel its performance matches the best that the industry has to offer today, and at a highly competitive price.’
The CCTi range was on display at the Acal BFi stand (F450) at IFSEC 2015. Visit www.acalbfi.com/imaging.
