Thermal Monitoring Systems

For remote temperature monitoring, cloud-based thermal solutions like the MoviTHERM iTL Cloud Monitoring Solution connect fixed IR cameras to a secure AWS-encrypted cloud platform. Users can view live thermal images, historical trends, and receive 24/7 alerts via text, email, or voice call from any internet-connected device, with optional cellular LTE failover for reliable connectivity.

Most industrial thermal monitoring cameras in this category offer a measurement accuracy of ±2°C or ±2% of the reading, whichever is greater. This applies to ambient conditions between 15°C and 35°C. Cameras like the Seek G300 provide ±5°C accuracy, while high-end models like the FLIR A700 support temperature measurement up to 2000°C for extreme industrial processes.

For most industrial environments, an IP66 or IP67 rating is recommended. IP66 protects against powerful water jets and dust ingress, while IP67 adds protection against temporary submersion. Products in this range — including FLIR A50/A70, FLIR A40, IRSX, and FLIR AX8 — carry IP66 or IP67 ratings, making them suitable for harsh factory floors, outdoor installations, and dusty process environments.

Industrial thermal cameras in this category support a wide range of protocols including Modbus TCP, EtherNet/IP, MQTT, ONVIF, GigE Vision, OPC-UA, Profinet, RTSP, and REST API. This ensures seamless integration with PLCs, HMI/SCADA systems, VMS platforms, and IIoT cloud solutions without requiring custom software development in most cases.

Yes. Fixed thermal monitoring cameras like the FLIR A50/A70 Smart Sensor and FLIR A40 include built-in on-camera analytics that automatically detect temperature threshold breaches. When a hot spot or fire condition is detected, the system triggers configurable alarms via digital output, email, FTP, or MQTT — enabling rapid response before a hazard escalates into a critical failure.

A Smart Sensor camera performs analytics and alarm processing directly on the camera using edge computing, making it ideal for standalone condition monitoring without an external server. An Image Streaming camera streams raw radiometric data to an external host for processing, making it better suited for machine vision integration, R&D applications, or systems requiring centralized multi-camera analysis using tools like FLIR Atlas SDK or GigE Vision-compatible software.
