The Smartec line of thermal imaging equipment has been expanded with the STX-IPPT5958AL rotating bispectral IP cameras in a compact outdoor housing.

They combine a thermal imaging module, a visible range IP camera with a 40x lens and 300m IR illumination, and a high-speed programmable pan-tilt mechanism. These rotating thermal imagers support 3 types of non-contact temperature measurement rules and combine temperature monitoring with visual control of the situation in large open areas. Using analytics, the STX-IPPT5958AL is able to recognize people and vehicles, detect smoke and fire points.

Simultaneous video monitoring of the situation in the visible and thermal ranges and contactless temperature measurement makes the STX-IPPT5958AL PTZ thermal imaging cameras a unique tool for video surveillance systems at sites with a large territory in the industrial sector, in the field of environmental protection, etc., as well as for monitoring technological processes and heating equipment. The IP camera video module is based on a highly sensitive Sony sensor (0.001 lux in color) with a resolution of 2688x1520 pixels and is equipped with a lens with 40x optical zoom. To ensure that the PTZ camera can generate high-quality video in the dark, an IR illuminator with a 300-meter illumination range is built into the housing. The thermal imaging module uses an uncooled microbolometer with a resolution of 640x512 pixels, interpolated to 1920x1080 pixels.

Support for contactless temperature measurement allows you to quickly respond to temperature changes both in the entire field of view of the thermal imaging module of the camera and in individual areas. At the same time, rotary thermal imagers support 3 types of temperature measurement rules (spot, linear and zonal) and 2 measurement ranges (from -20 to +150 °C or from 0 to +550 °C), and when the maximum permissible values are exceeded or an unacceptable temperature difference is recorded, an alarm is activated. Users can set 19 different temperature thresholds for each specific object, the accuracy of temperature measurement by the thermal imager in the STX-IPPT5958AL is ±2 °C or ±2%, and the response time does not exceed 0.03 seconds.

The detection range of intruders using the STX-IPPT5958AL thermal imaging module can reach 3 km or more. For example, a rotating thermal imager equipped with a 25 mm lens can detect a person of average height (1.8 m) at a distance of up to 1040 m, and recognize him at a distance of up to 260 m. The maximum detection and recognition distance of a car 1.5 m high and 4 m long will be 3194 and 799 m, respectively. The thermal imager can measure the temperature of objects measuring 0.2x0.2 m and 1x1 m at a distance of 83 m and 417 m, respectively. Due to these indicators, the STX-IPPT5958AL is optimal for thermal video monitoring within the framework of security video surveillance systems at medium and long distances, and temperature recognition at short and medium distances.

Video analytics implemented in the STX-IPPT5958AL helps to record potentially dangerous events, and, due to automatic data processing, security system operators receive objective information for quick informed decision-making. Thus, PTZ thermal imagers use the functions of detecting intrusion, crossing one or more virtual lines, delay in the controlled area, movement in an unacceptable direction, entering and leaving the designated area, and, in addition, use an intelligent people counting module. To expand the security capabilities of the STX-IPPT5958AL, it is possible to connect up to 7 optional external sensors, 2 alarms, a microphone and a speaker.

The outdoor version of the case allows using the STX-IPPT5958AL in any weather conditions in the range of external temperatures from -40 to +60 °C. The new product is supplied in a metal casing protected by IP66, and to clean the viewing window from dust, dirt, snow, raindrops and condensation, it is equipped with a windshield wiper that works on the principle of car wipers. Another design advantage of the STX-IPPT5958AL is a powerful rotary mechanism that provides 360° rotation of the camera with a thermal imager at a speed of up to 300°/s and tilt within the range of -10° to +90° at a speed of up to 240°/s. It is possible to program 400 presets, 8 auto-scanning routes, 12 patrol tours, as well as smart tracking algorithms.
