The application of infrared technology in the field of security and monitoring is one of its most extensive and effective uses. By utilizing the characteristics of infrared, the safety and monitoring system can effectively monitor and detect in completely dark environments, thus greatly improving safety at night or in low light conditions. Here are some of the main ways infrared technology is used in security and monitoring:
Infrared intrusion detection systems use infrared sensors to detect the movement of intruders. These systems can be passive, that is, detecting only the infrared radiation emitted by the target object, or active, detecting intruders by emitting infrared beams and detecting breaks or reflections. Infrared intrusion detection systems are widely used in residential and commercial security systems.
Combined with infrared technology and intelligent video analysis technology, the security monitoring system can automatically identify specific behavioral patterns, such as abnormal behaviors such as crossing boundaries, wandering, and leaving behind items, and issue alerts in time. The application of this technology improves the efficiency and response speed of the monitoring system and reduces the dependence on manual monitoring.
Since infrared cameras and thermal imaging cameras can operate in the absence of visible light, they are ideal for situations where covert surveillance is required. This is important for situations such as crime prevention, privacy protection, and surveillance in sensitive areas.
