Thermal camera on the perimeter

On the perimeter, night and distance kill a camera that only sees visible light. Thermal sees the heat difference: a person on the wall, a vehicle stopped, an animal. The request is not “one more camera”: it is whether the patrol needs to detect in the dark, or to recognise who passed.

Palo Security supplies thermal cameras for the perimeter and for areas where the light does not reach. The lines are Hikvision, Dahua, Axis, Avigilon, EZVIZ and Bosch. Quantity and model are set in the quote.

What thermal solves

• See the wall and the yard when there is no useful lighting.
• Support the patrol: the room sees movement on the perimeter before the guard reaches the point.
• Work on wide ground where a colour fixed camera loses the target in shadow.

What thermal does not replace

The thermal picture is not the colour photograph at reception. If the archive needs to identify a face or a plate, a visible camera goes in — fixed, PTZ or LPR, according to the point. Electric fencing is the wall; thermal is the eye. Both can go in the same request, without mixing the roles.

With the patrol and the room

The recorder — DVR or NVR — stores the video. The control room sees the perimeter. The radio remains the patrol’s conversation. Thermal does not talk to the guard; it alerts whoever is watching the screen.

What to say in the request

1. Which stretches of the perimeter have no useful light at night.
2. Whether visible cameras already sit on those points, or only the patrol on foot.
3. Whether the room needs to see live or only the archive.

Quantity closes with the site, not with a generic kit. Tell us the perimeter and we prepare the quote.
