General Product Information

Basic Information On Thermal Imaging Technology

Thermal imaging technology is a contactless imaging procedure that

makes it possible to see the thermal radiation from an object or body

otherwise invisible to the human eye (mid-wavelength infrared).

Thermal radiation is electromagnetic radiation emitted by a body

based on its temperature. It is caused by thermal motion within a

body’s molecules. This is the result of accelerated charges that emit

radiation in accordance with the laws of electrodynamics. Thermal

imaging technology captures and displays temperature distribution

across surfaces and objects. Thermographic cameras usually display

heat intensity information in artificial colors (blue = cooler, red =

warmer). In terms of the number of pixels, the resolution is considerably lower than that for cameras capturing the

visible spectral range.

Unlike cameras with optical image sensors, one of the decisive quality criteria for a thermal camera is the camera’s

ability to capture the slightest differences in temperature and to produce an image that displays these differences

in colors. The NETD, or Noise Equivalent Temperature Difference, is used to measure the sensitivity of a thermal

sensor and is expressed in millikelvin. With an NETD of 50 mK, MOBOTIX thermal cameras can visualize temperature

variations starting at 0.05°C , which places them in the top range of cameras currently available for general use.

Thanks to an NETD of 50 mK, the MOBOTIX thermal image (le) shows significantly more details than a competitor’s less powerful
thermographic camera with an NETD of 100 mK (right).

Respecting Privacy

The detected thermal profile of a thermal camera shows no identifiable details for identification of persons and can

therefore guarantee privacy. As soon as an object is moving into the relevant surveillance area, MOBOTIX dual

camera system can automatically switch from thermal sensor to the optical sensor, producing visible high

PLEASE NOTE – Special Export Regulations For Thermographic Cameras

Cameras with thermographic image sensors (“thermographic cameras”) are subject to special U.S. and ITAR (International
Traffic in Arms Regulation) export regulations:

According to currently valid export regulations from the U.S. and ITAR, cameras with thermographic image sensors or their
component parts cannot be exported to countries that have been embargoed by the U.S./ITAR. The corresponding delivery
ban also applies to all individuals and institutions included on “The Denied Persons List” (see www.bis.doc.gov under Policy
Guidance > Lists of Parties of Concern). These cameras and their installed thermographic image sensors are not to be used for
the design, development, or production of nuclear, biological or chemical weapons or installed in these systems.

resolution video. This unique MOBOTIX feature combines two aspects, respecting the privacy aspect and at the

same time optimal video surveillance.

Temperature Events And Thermal Overlay

Thermal radiometry (TR) cameras from MOBOTIX generate automatic alarms, defined by temperature limits or

temperature ranges, which is vital to detect potential fire or heat sources. Up to 20 different temperature triggers

can be defined at the same time within so-called TR (Thermal Radiometry) windows or the whole sensor image can

be used over the temperature range of -40 to +550 °C. In this way critical situations can be analyzed in the control

room in order to plan the next steps for effective fire prevention. Critical assets like emergency generators, wind

turbines or radio stations can be cost-effectively maintained and tested remotely. MOBOTIX thermal dual camera

systems offer thermal overlay to localize so-called hot spots in the visual image to prevent larger damage. The

standard Power-over-Ethernet (PoE) compatibility and the extremely low power consumption of only 6 watts

allows operation of MOBOTIX thermal camera systems in every situation.
