  • Bridging the Gap—Efficiently Integrating Sensors into Asset Health Software for the Electric Utility Market

    Condition monitoring sensors can help provide needed data for electric utilities, but many face issues with sensor-system compatibility and lack the skilled IIoT programmers needed to make integration easy. Bridging these sensors with innovative software and hardware resources offers an easy and effective way to aggregate condition data for important assets to improve situational awareness and empower decision support to keep operations running, reduce maintenance costs, and improve productivity, reliability, and safety.

  • The Advantages of Virtual Barrier Video Analytics for Perimeter Systems

    Artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning have transformed the perimeter security landscape through the use of video analytics for intrusion detection. Highly-sensitive motion-based analytics, capable of detecting microscale movement at impressive ranges, have seen widespread adoption across perimeter systems deployed at critical infrastructure sites. Today, however, FLIR Virtual Barrier video analytics are yielding even greater benefits for customers, improving detection precision, classification accuracy, geolocation of targets and resilience against false alarms. This tech note will discuss the strategic value of Virtual Barrier analytics in perimeter intrusion detection systems (PIDS) as well as its specific performance advantages when compared to motion-based analytics.

  • Lessons Learned from Drone-Related Incidents

    There have been several dangerous drone-related incidents recorded worldwide that have concerned global security personnel of all stripes. Each was an isolated event, of course, but what’s concerning is their part in a rising trend of violent and malicious attacks, carried out by remote pilots of Unmanned Aircraft Systems (UAS). The solution to this problem is the implementation of robust, Counter-UAS (C-UAS) solutions that meet the threat of aerial attacks head on. An important takeaway from an analysis of these events is that affected individuals had no forewarning of a drone attack, leaving them entirely vulnerable.

  • Four Reasons Security Managers Should Deploy Counter-UAS Solutions

    For security managers, drones pose an entirely novel threat, as the technology used in one application for infrastructure maintenance can be easily refitted to cripple any number of facility operations in another. Because of this, Counter UAS (C-UAS) devices have become an increasingly essential part of an end-to-end security solution. Built to detect, identify, locate, track, and then mitigate both ground-based and aerial threats, C-UAS perimeter intrusion detection systems (PIDS) layer industry-leading thermal sensors and radar devices to deliver robust, round-the-clock security capabilities for facilities of every kind, in any weather condition. Below are four reasons why security managers should invest in Teledyne FLIR C-UAS solutions.

And with the possibility to define inspection rounds in advance, it’s practically impossible to overlook installations. 

  • FLIR Thermal Imaging Cameras Integral to Smart Cities

    The City of Seocho (Seocho-gu) is on a mission to collect the artificial intelligence data needed for smart city services across the region, including downtown, residential areas, parks, and waterfront areas.

  • Tracking Down Hidden Problems During Home Inspections with Thermal Imaging

    Maintaining any home requires regular inspections beyond what we see on the surface. Thankfully, thermal cameras give us the ability to see much than we would with our naked eye. Knowing what to look for can save precious time for inspectors and stop problems from ever happening.

  • Research & Development

    Finding and fixing problems during electronics R&D can be a guessing game if you’re not working with a thermal imaging camera. FLIR infrared science cameras allow you to see temperatures across an entire target, so you can quickly identify heat dissipation problems and begin working on solutions.
