SightSensor NS Thermal Camera

Smart Thermal Camera for Outdoor Intrusion Detection

The SightSensor® NS is a smart thermal camera 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.

Like all SightSensor thermal cameras, the NS works at the edge and includes integrated video analytics, scene and gyro-based stabilization and a toolbox of filters to optimize outdoor performance. SightSensors are IP66 rated and built for high reliability and longevity in harsh environments.

The SightSensor uses the perfect outdoor human detector – 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 video analytic software is embedded within the camera. This lets SightSensor video analytics maximize the full dynamic range of the thermal video to detect intruders reliably over large distances, while also providing a high-contrast thermal image that can be used for assessment.

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

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

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.

Powerful Video Analytics

SightSensors use a high degree of on-board video processing to deliver accurate detection with low false alarms. Processing also gives SightSensors extended coverage range, detecting inbound intruders up to 600 meters. 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.

SightSensor Analytic Features Include:

• 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.
