Infrared and Thermal Imaging Cameras

Stay one step ahead of would-be intruders with LVT’s industry-leading thermal imaging security camera solution.

See What You Need to See

Poor conditions? No problem. A thermal imaging camera works in all weather conditions, which makes it a unique and powerful security component. This technology offers several advantages over other equipment because it:

Detects threats clearly, even in total darkness
Captures usable images, even if people wear camouflage
Identifies heat signatures from a distance

Catch What Others Miss

LVT’s thermal security cameras feature advanced dual sensors that can illuminate bad actors up to 280 feet away. With a pan-zoom-tilt range of 180 degrees, it’s nearly impossible for an incident to go unnoticed, even if a person is wearing camouflage or there is an extreme temperature. When you deploy an LVT® Unit with thermal cameras, authorized users can:

Monitor perimeters in zero-light conditions
Track intruders through fog, rain, or dense foliage
Secure wide areas, like parking lots and airports, as well as remote perimeters, with comprehensive coverage
Enhance situational awareness and surveillance capabilities
Watch for extreme temperatures

Durable Hardware Performs No Matter the Weather

An LVT mobile thermal security camera’s standard Ingress Protection rating is at least 54, protected from dust and against splashing water. Our wall and pole mounts withstand even tougher conditions, with IP ratings of 66. A 150-mph tornado was no match for our rugged construction, as the camera continued recording despite its relocation courtesy of a natural disaster.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a thermal security camera, and how does it work?

A thermal security camera detects heat (infrared radiation) instead of visible light. Every object emits heat, and thermal cameras translate those heat signatures into images. This allows them to “see” in complete darkness, through smoke, and in challenging conditions where traditional cameras might fail. LVT’s thermal cameras integrate this technology to provide around-the-clock visibility for enhanced perimeter protection and threat detection.

What are the advantages of using thermal security cameras over traditional cameras?

Thermal security cameras offer several key advantages:

Total darkness visibility: They don’t rely on ambient light or illumination.
Fewer false alarms: By detecting heat rather than motion alone, thermal cameras are better at filtering out environmental noise like shadows or moving trees.
Long-range detection: They can identify threats from greater distances, even in complex environments.
Weather and light resistance: Glare, fog, or backlighting don’t impact performance.
These benefits make thermal cameras ideal for high-security, remote, or low-light areas where accuracy is critical.

Are thermal cameras effective in all weather conditions?

Yes, thermal cameras are designed to perform reliably in a wide range of weather conditions, including fog, rain, and dust. Unlike visible-light cameras, their performance isn’t compromised by low light or glare.

What is the detection range of thermal security cameras?

The detection range depends on the camera’s lens and sensor resolution, but most LVT thermal cameras can detect human or vehicle activity at distances of several hundred to over a thousand feet. LVT’s mobile surveillance units are equipped with thermal imaging that’s optimized for large-area coverage, making them suitable for both short- and long-range monitoring.

What is the resolution of thermal security cameras?

Thermal camera resolution is typically lower than that of visible-light cameras, often ranging from 320x240 to 640x512 pixels. While this may seem modest, thermal imaging focuses on heat detection rather than fine visual detail. LVT’s thermal cameras are calibrated for high sensitivity, providing clear thermal contrast to accurately detect people, vehicles, and other heat-emitting objects.

Are thermal cameras suitable for monitoring large outdoor areas?

Absolutely. Thermal cameras are particularly well-suited for monitoring large, open areas like construction sites, oil fields, utility substations, and remote perimeters. Because they can detect heat from long distances and perform well in complete darkness or harsh weather, they offer a significant advantage over traditional cameras in expansive outdoor environments.
