Industrial Flame Detection Sensors

Thermal cameras detect the infrared radiation emitted by heat sources, allowing them to identify elevated temperatures and fire precursors — such as smoldering or overheating equipment — well before smoke or visible flame appears. Standard smoke or heat detectors react only after combustion has begun, whereas thermal sensors provide continuous, non-contact early warning across an entire monitored zone.

Most demanding industrial environments require at least IP66, which provides full dust protection and resistance against powerful water jets. Applications in wash-down areas or outdoor installations may benefit from IP67-rated cameras, which also withstand temporary water immersion. Products in the MoviTHERM range include IP66 options such as the FLIR A50/A70 and IP67 options like the FLIR AX8 and Seek G300.

Yes. Most sensors in this category support industrial protocols including EtherNet/IP, Modbus TCP, MQTT, OPC-UA, and Profinet, enabling direct integration with HMI and SCADA platforms as well as PLCs. The IRSX Smart Infrared Camera and FLIR A-series smart sensors are specifically designed for seamless industrial automation integration with configurable alarm outputs and digital I/O.

Temperature ranges vary by model. Entry-level sensors like the FLIR AX8 cover -10°C to +150°C, while mid-range models such as the FLIR A40 and Seek G300 reach up to 550°C–1000°C. High-temperature variants of the FLIR A700 measure up to 2000°C, making them suitable for furnaces, metal processing, and other extreme-heat industrial processes.

Resolution requirements depend on the monitored area and target size. Entry-level 80×60 or 160×120 sensors such as the FLIR AX8 and TNC20 are suitable for compact cabinets or localized zones. For broader coverage or more precise hot spot localization across large areas, 320×240 or 640×480 resolution cameras like the FLIR A40, A50, or A70 are recommended to ensure no thermal anomaly goes undetected.

Yes. Multiple sensors in the range support cloud and IIoT connectivity via MQTT, REST API, and standard Ethernet protocols. MoviTHERM also offers its proprietary iTL Cloud Monitoring Solution, which integrates with compatible cameras to provide 24/7 remote thermal surveillance, trend analysis, and alarm notifications via text, voice, and email from any location.
