IVC’s thermal cameras provide clear and reliable video of objects in the Long Wave Infrared (LWIR) spectrum. This allows users to see hot and cold spots, easily identify fires, and analyze temperature data of process equipment. These IP video cameras come standard with industrial-grade housings that are built to withstand harsh environments.
Thermal cameras are ideal for use in flare stack monitoring, flame detection in process areas, electrical substation monitoring and leak detection in tank farms where high-pressure gases and liquids are kept at very hot or cold temperatures. Browse our collection of thermal imaging cameras below.
Cost-effective and customizable, these cameras come with multiple lens, signal and housing options to integrate into process control systems. IVC’s in-house development team can provide in-camera software for radiometric analysis as well as customize the setup to fit a wide variety of needs.
AFV-3543-7
Fixed, Thermal, IP Camera
Rating: Class I Division 1
This rugged LWIR camera is designed for hazardous industrial environments. With a stainless-steel enclosure and thermal lens options from 48° to 12° horizontal field of view, it provides precise thermal monitoring in demanding conditions.
PTZ-3539-1
PTZ HD Visual and Thermal Camera
The PTZ-3539-1 is a high-quality, dual imaging thermal video camera. The unit includes an HD imager with 30x motor-driven optical zoom and a thermal imager with 640 x 480 resolution. Both cameras are mounted on a rugged pan-tilt unit. The cameras are housed in a 316L stainless-steel enclosure rated IP67, making it suitable for use in harsh conditions.
PTZ-3532-1
PTZ Visual and Thermal Camera
The PTZ-3532-1 is a 640×480 thermal imager for viewing in poor lighting conditions. The high contrast thermal imager will allow the user to readily identify objects in both direct sunlight and absolute darkness. A variety of lens options are available to suit most applications.
Industrial Thermal Camera FAQs
Industrial thermal cameras are used to detect heat patterns, temperature variations, and anomalies in equipment, electrical panels, pipelines, and other systems to support predictive maintenance, safety, and process control.
Most industrial thermal cameras offer temperature accuracy within ±2°C or ±2% of the reading, depending on the model and conditions. For more precise readings, models with radiometric capabilities are recommended.
While standard thermal cameras do not detect gases, specialized optical gas imaging (OGI) thermal cameras are designed to visualize certain gas leaks like methane or SF6.
Yes, certain thermal cameras, such as IVC’s AFV-3543-7, are certified for use in Class I Division 1 or ATEX Zone 1 hazardous environments.
Thermal cameras detect emitted infrared radiation (heat), while IR (infrared) cameras typically refer to visual cameras with IR illuminators for night vision. Thermal cameras work without visible light and can detect heat through smoke or darkness.
Many industrial thermal cameras can record continuous video and still images, and can stream thermal data to VMS systems for real-time monitoring and analysis.
Detection range depends on the camera’s lens and resolution. Long-range lenses can detect large heat sources from several hundred meters away, but finer detail requires shorter distances or higher-resolution sensors.
