Flir, a Teledyne Technologies company, is today introducing its FCB-Series AI thermal analytics camera for robust perimeter and site security. This innovative addition to Flir’s mid-range infrared security line-up merges weather-resilient, lighting-agnostic thermal sensitivity of <20 mK with advanced deep-learning video analytics. The result? Accurate and dependable detection of people and vehicles, inside or outside, whatever the conditions.

Flir’s new FCB-Series AI thermal camera transforms chaotic and noisy environments into clear, reliable views that security teams can respond to effectively and efficiently. With various lens options, Nexus-enabled geolocation, and robust IP67 ingress protection rating, the sensor supports seamless installation at locations of all sizes.

Intelligence and Sensitivity
With the Flir FCB-Series AI thermal camera, businesses can detect, classify, and respond faster than ever, helping to prevent costly incidents and maintain safe and efficient operations.Beneficial features of the Flir FCB-Series AI:

• Advanced DNN deep-learning video analytics support reliable identification and categorization of individuals and vehicles with exceptional precision. With the help of these sophisticated onboard neural networks, businesses can distinguish between genuine threats and false alarms, such as moving trees, rain on the camera lens, or inquisitive small animals. When the wind shakes a construction tarpaulin or foliage swirls during a storm, the FCB-Series AI remains silent. Unnecessary alarms no longer trigger the VMS (video management system).

• Nexus-enabled target geolocation facilitates situational awareness and precise hand-off to a PTZ (Pan-Tilt-Zoom) camera for close-up tracking of an intruder around corners, along fences, or between buildings. Forming a cohesive security ecosystem, this workflow promotes real-time data sharing and interoperability among thermal cameras, visible cameras, radars, and analytics platforms.

• Five lens options from 18° to 50° field of view (VGA or QVGA resolution) let businesses cover long fence lines, tight corners, and irregular building layouts without blind spots. Difficulty in matching security coverage to different sites becomes a challenge of the past.

• Industry-leading thermal sensitivity of <20 mK reveals subtle temperature differences that standard thermal and visible cameras miss. Crystal-clear thermal means sharper, more detailed images across entrances, parking areas, and perimeter zones for faster and more accurate detection. A person cutting between parked trucks in a foggy yard or walking along a campus boundary lit by harsh floodlights, still appears as a crisp thermal profile.

Easy to install, the rugged IP67 camera is built to endure dust, heat, and driving rain, providing cost-effective, reliable thermal detection across a host of perimeter, small area, and remote site applications. These include:

• Small-to-medium commercial businesses: construction sites, warehouses, shopping malls.
• Campuses and industrial plants: education facilities, business parks, factories.
• Energy and remote installations: solar farms, utilities, storage yards.

As thefts and burglaries at businesses continue to rise, implementing an effective security system is crucial. However, many believe that adopting a new security system requires a complete overhaul that you have to start from scratch. Not so with Flir, which employs a smart multilayered strategy that enhances security incrementally through foundational systems, camera integration, intelligence adoption, and maintenance. This approach enables businesses to develop a system that adapts to their site while maintaining budgetary constraints and ensuring continuous security improvements.

“If you suffer with false alarms from non-threat movement or weather, inconsistent detection in challenging conditions, or complex system integration and calibration needs, you will see more, know more, and protect more with our FCB-Series AI,” said Matt Strautman, Director of Global Business Development, Flir. “Advanced thermal imaging and AI analytics collaborate to deliver high-accuracy detection, even in adverse weather or lighting conditions. With flexible lens options, Nexus integration, and rugged all-weather design, our FCB-Series AI thermal camera is not only the smart choice for precise and reliable protection, it’s a cost-effective way to upgrade an outdated security system. It will integrate seamlessly with your current set-up and provide insights that expedite your decision making.”
