Flir Systems has launched the Ranger HDC MR surveillance system, which provides high-definition midrange surveillance against illegal activities in a range of weather conditions.
The product contains a built-in fog filter as well as an optional Merlin ASX turbulence filter to avoid haze created by heat and air.
The system can use AI image processing to enable faster decision-making as well as lowering downtime and maintenance requirements.
The thermal imager has a 1280mm x 720mm detector along with a 1920mm x 1080mm HD colour TV camera. Other sensors can be integrated with the Ranger HDC MR, which makes it useful for C-UAS applications.
