Hanwha Vision has launched a new VGA AI Thermal Camera series designed for perimeter protection, critical infrastructure, coastal surveillance and maritime security.
According to Hanwha Vision, the new cameras combine ultra-sensitive thermal imaging with AI-based detection and classification of people, vehicles and vessels, enabling surveillance in darkness and difficult weather conditions.
The series offers thermal sensitivity below 16mK NETD, allowing the cameras to capture small temperature differences and improve object classification in low-visibility environments. Hanwha says the technology can identify people and vehicles even when subjects are partially obscured or in crouching or prone positions.
AI vessel detection expands maritime applications
A key feature of the new series is AI-powered vessel detection, extending the cameras beyond conventional land-based perimeter surveillance. The system can detect and classify vessels in fog, rain, snow and complete darkness, making it suitable for ports, coastlines and maritime border-security applications.
The cameras are available with 13mm, 19mm, 35mm and 60mm lens options and in 30fps or 8fps versions.
For cybersecurity and deployment in critical environments, the series incorporates a FIPS 140-3 Level 3-certified Secure Element and SD card partition encryption. The cameras also carry IP66/67, NEMA 4X and IK10 ratings and comply with MIL-STD-810H environmental testing requirements.
