JUNE 7--FLIR Systems Inc. (Portland, OR; www.FLIR.com) has received a contract from a leading petrochemical company to provide 32 ThermoVision Integration Series thermal-imaging cameras for use in perimeter security at key locations. The cameras will be used by the customer as part of a program to further increase security at a selected number of sites worldwide.
The unidentified company evaluated the efficacy of thermal imaging in security systems by conducting a pilot program several months ago using FLIR cameras. The new ThermoVision Integration Series systems will be used in conjunction with an intelligent video monitoring solution to detect security breaches automatically. Deliveries are expected to take place in the third quarter of 2005.
The ThermoVision Integration Series, introduced in early 2005, is FLIR's low-cost entry into the fixed security-camera market. The ThermoVision Integration Series cameras take advantage of FLIR's latest low-cost uncooled technology--the Indigo Photon detector--and offer short- to medium-range performance in an environmentally robust package. Integration Series cameras are specifically designed to easily integrate into existing or new security networks.
FLIR Systems is a leader in the design, manufacture, and marketing of thermal-imaging and stabilized camera systems for a wide variety of thermography and imaging applications including airborne observation and broadcast, search and rescue, drug interdiction, surveillance and reconnaissance, navigation safety, and border and maritime patrol.
