Advanced Uncooled Technology

Highly Sensitive Thermal Cameras

The latest thermal addition to Silent Sentinel’s offering is the advanced uncooled range which is designed to bridge the gap between cooled and uncooled thermal. The advanced uncooled range achieves this by offering highly sensitive thermal cameras but with the overall lifetime cost of an uncooled camera.

Benefits of advanced uncooled thermal technology:

– High sensitivity and contrast levels
– Designed for humid climates and contrast neutral environments
– No annual servicing required
Lower cost of ownership when compared with an equivalent cooled MWIR system
– Fast thermal and video auto focus
– Thermal camera video stabilisation and tracking option
CLAHE (Contrast Limited Adaptive Histogram Equalisation) video processing

Furthermore, the Silent Sentinel LR series provides long-range thermal imaging with powerful continuous zoom optics in an OEM-friendly package. Several zoom lens options offer a narrow horizontal field of view (HFOV) as small as 1.5° without compromise to optical speed or sensitivity. Also, highly tuned one-touch auto focus operates quickly and reliably throughout the zoom range.

Additionally, the LR’s 12-µm 640 x 480 LWIR thermal imaging core provides high sensitivity at up to 60Hz frame rate. The OEM camera module provides on-board image processing, on-board recording and storage, auto-focus, electronic image stabilization, advanced image processing and H.264 IP encoding options.

In addition, the long wave infrared (LWIR) camera is regulated under the U.S. EAR regulations (non-ITAR) and can be purchased with a 15-75mm, 25-150mm, 25-225mm, or 40-300mm continuous zoom lens.
