Integration & Control of Thermal Cameras

Thermal imaging cameras: valuable instruments for maritime vessels
FLIR thermal imagers provide an important complement to other marine electronics and ordinary daylight cameras in overall video solutions. FLIR thermal imaging systems are often integrated with other third-party devices in maritime applications.
Modern maritime vessels are becoming more and more complex. Advanced marine electronics that were once used only on military or large commercial vessels are now commonly found on all types of craft. This includes radar, GPS, digital compasses, video security cameras and other sensors that can be geo-referenced and interconnected in “slew to cue” configurations. The need for security on many different types of vessels has created a demand for installation and integration of security equipment that is commonly found on land (CCTV for surveillance, access control for door locks, and so on).
FLIR Systems has developed a powerful solution to help to integrate thermal imaging cameras into maritime and security networks: Nexus. This architecture provides integrators with off-the-shelf components for integrating thermal cameras with maritime electronics, as well as a software environment for developing custom applications.
Nexus Integration
Integration with 3rd party Multi-Function Displays (MFD)
Configuration of Nexus Server and other components
Using Nexus servers, a small network will be installed and configured
Mapping / Geo-referencing: calibrate a map, set-up a sensor with geo-reference information
Recording video with a FLIR nDVR
Display real time coverage on a map
Advance configuration of Nexus Servers
Nexus integration with other communication protocols
Nexus Software Developers Kit (SDK)
Configure Nexus Servers for “slew to cue” operations
Serial communications and Pelco interface in a Nexus environment
Software to manage and control FLIR Systems thermal imaging cameras for maritime applications
FSM offers powerful and efficient management capabilities for any maritime installation with FLIR Systems thermal imaging cameras. FSM allows to automatically locate FLIR Systems thermal imaging cameras in the network and to easily control them. Thanks to FLIR Sensors Manager, the management of FLIR Systems thermal imaging cameras over a network will become extremely easy.
Different versions available
FLIR Sensors Manager is available in two different versions: Basic and Pro. Depending on your exact needs and your security network, you can choose the version that best fits your system’s requirements.
Basic:
The Basic version of FLIR Sensors Manager allows to:
-
Discover sensors in the network
-
Command and control of up to four networked sensors: focus, pan/tilt, zoom…
-
Display network video
-
Define presets
-
Manage scan lists
-
Create panoramas
-
Configure user profiles(toolbars, layout, etc)
-
Show thermal images on multiple monitors
-
Capture images
-
Geo Mapping
Pro:
The Pro version of FLIR Sensors Manager contains all the features that are incorporated in the Basic version, plus a number of useful modes that will help you make the most out of your security network.
Video analytics
Allows to perform video analytics within FLIR Sensors Manager. It includes:
-
Video Motion Detection: FLIR’s pro prietary algorithm will work on thermal or visible video in the most harsh environments.
-
Target detection with alarms based on spatial rules like trip wires crossing or areas triggered by enter, exit or both events.
-
Software based video-tracking of moving objects for control of PTZ sensors.
Radar Cueing and radar tracks display
Allows display of real-time position and classification information of radar targets (ID, course, speed, lat/lon, classification, …) coming from Nexus enabled radars. Allows users to command cameras in advanced radar slave modes (ARPA tracking).
Connect a large number of sensors
Both the Basic and the Pro versions of FLIR Sensors Manager allow multiple users to share monitoring and control of up to four FLIR Systems thermal imaging camera. Different license packages to manage more than one camera are available. Additional sensor licenses can be added to manage up to 50 sensors from a single workstation.
Control a wide variety of sensors
FLIR Sensors Managers not only works together with FLIR Systems thermal imaging cameras. Using Nexus technology, it can also be used to control a wide variety of other sensors like radars, ground sensors and many others and to make these sensors interact with FLIR Systems thermal imaging cameras in so called “slew-to-cue” configurations.
