SightSensor Thermal Camera

Smart Thermal Camera for Outdoor Intrusion Detection

The SightLogix SightSensor® is a smart thermal camera with video analytics that detects intruders with high certainty over large perimeters and outdoor areas, analyzing the scene for security threats, and communicating alerts and video of the event in real time.

SightSensors act like a burglar alarm for the outdoors, triggering trustworthy alarms when intruders are detected, preventing crime, theft and business disruptions.

The SightSensor uses the perfect outdoor human sensor – thermal video – to detect targets that violate rules that you have defined, placing a red box on intruders and tracking them through the field of view. SightLogix’s easy to use, “set and forget” video analytic software is embedded within the camera. This gives SightSensors access to 100% of the raw scene data for detecting threats and ignoring the natural movement that happens outdoors, increasing reliability, detection distance, and reducing nuisance alerts.

The SightSensor is a fixed IP thermal camera, available in two models:

• 320×240 for perimeters
• 640×480 for perimeters and wide areas

SightLogix also offers the shorter-range SightSensor HD, which uses thermal video for detection and a color video for assessment. 

Various lenses are available for each model, depending on the detection distance you need. SightSurvey, our web-based design tool, makes it easy to automatically determine your lens.

Video Processing Reduces Thermal Camera Costs

SightSensors use a high degree of on-board video processing to deliver accurate detection with low false alarms. It is ruggedized to survive harsh conditions while operating over great distances, reducing project costs. The combination of accurate detection, low nuisance alerts and large distance coverage has earned the SightSensor its reputation as the most reliable and cost efficient-solution for outdoor security.

Smart Thermal Camera with Powerful Video Analytics

The SightSensor smart thermal camera uses SightLogix’s video processing to power key features:

• Very reliable detection and reduced nuisance alarms
• Stabilization to correct for pole sway
• Geo-registration to ignore small animals, blowing trash and outdoor movement while detecting people
• Geospatial video analytic detection zones based on target size, speed, and direction
• A very clear thermal image in darkness, bright sun, humidity, or bad weather
• Hands-free PTZ steering to zoom and follow targets for more detail (with the SightTracker)
• Targets projected onto a sitemap for real-time situational awareness.

Video and target information, GPS location, speed, location, bearing, and other data is sent from the SightSensor over the network to a Video Management System (VMS) or Physical Security Information Management (PSIM) system for display and alarm management.  SightLogix works with most major third party systems.
