Machine Vision Inspection Systems

A smart sensor camera performs on-camera analytics — processing temperature data, triggering alarms, and communicating results via industrial protocols like Modbus TCP or MQTT directly without an external PC. An image streaming camera streams raw radiometric or video data to a host system or software for analysis. Smart sensors simplify deployment; image streaming cameras offer greater flexibility for custom machine vision applications.

Resolution depends on target size and distance. Entry-level cameras (80×60 to 160×120 pixels) suit broad area monitoring in cabinets or small rooms. Mid-range systems (320×240) are ideal for general process monitoring and hot spot detection. High-resolution cameras (464×348 to 640×480+) are required for detecting small defects on components, precise temperature profiling, or machine vision integration with tight spatial requirements.

Yes. Most cameras in this lineup support multiple industrial communication protocols including EtherNet/IP, Modbus TCP, MQTT, OPC-UA, Profinet, and REST API. This enables direct integration with PLCs, DCS, HMI, and SCADA platforms. GigE Vision and GenICam compliance further ensures compatibility with third-party machine vision software and custom SDK-based applications.

The majority of cameras in this lineup achieve ±2°C or ±2% of reading (whichever is greater) under standard ambient conditions of 15°C–35°C. The Seek G300 is rated at ±5°C or ±5%. Accuracy can be influenced by ambient temperature, emissivity settings, and distance, so proper installation and calibration are essential for reliable process monitoring.

Yes. Many cameras in the lineup carry IP66 or IP67 ingress protection ratings, protecting against dust ingress and powerful water jets. Several models also meet IEC standards for shock, vibration, humidity, and corrosion resistance (including salt mist). Operating temperature ranges extend as low as -40°C for gateway hardware, making them suitable for outdoor, heavy industrial, and transportation environments.

The iTL Cloud Monitoring Solution is MoviTHERM's proprietary cloud platform that pairs with compatible FLIR and Seek thermal cameras to deliver 24/7 remote thermal surveillance. It requires no software installation, provides real-time alerts via text, voice, and email, and offers secure cloud dashboards with facility map overlays and scheduled reports. It is designed for facilities managers, maintenance engineers, and safety teams monitoring critical assets remotely.
