The Axis thermal network cameras’ ability to
detect thermal radiation makes it difficult for
individuals to conceal themselves within a
wide perimeter of a sensitive area or building.

Thermal detection
the key to effective video surveillance
Effective video surveillance depends on accurately detecting and identify-
ing objects, people or incidents, so that appropriate action can be taken.
But conventional video surveillance cameras will have difficulties captur-
ing usable images in complete darkness or under other challenging condi-
tions such as smoke or fog, or when subjects are hiding or obscured by a
complex background.
