Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: What is the thermal sensor resolution and sensitivity?
A: It uses a 1280 × 1024 resolution thermal sensor with ≤ 25 mK thermal sensitivity for high contrast imaging.

Q: How powerful is the optical zoom?
A: The optical module features an 80× zoom (10–800 mm), offering extreme long-distance detail capture, with an additional 16× digital zoom.

Q: Can it detect fires and smoke?
A: Yes, it includes dynamic fire detection and smoke analysis with detection capabilities up to 12 km under optimal conditions.

Q: Is it weather-resistant and corrosion-proof?
A: Yes, the camera is rated IP66 for water and dust protection and uses NEMA-4X coating for industrial and coastal environments. It also features a smart wiper to keep lenses clear in rain or dust storms.

Q: Does it support smart analytics like line crossing and intrusion?
A: Yes, with deep-learning algorithms that distinguish people and vehicles, and trigger accurate alarms for line crossing, intrusions, and region events.

Use Case Scenario: Perimeter Patrol for a 1 km Farm Boundary

Scenario Overview:

A rural property owner wants to monitor a 1 km-long straight fence line (e.g., along the western boundary of their farm) to detect unauthorised entry, trespassing, animal movement, and potential fire risks.

They require 24/7 monitoring with the ability to:

• Detect human/vehicle intrusions,

• Identify heat sources like fire,

• Capture visual detail day and night, even in fog or darkness,

• Operate automatically without constant human supervision.

Solution: Deploy HM‑TD95C8‑150ZE4FL/W on a tall pole near midpoint

1. Positioning:

   • Install the camera at midpoint of the 1 km fence line, mounted on a 10 m pole or mast with a 360° view.

   • This gives the thermal and optical modules an unobstructed view of both directions—500 m left and 500 m right.

2. Thermal Coverage:

   • The 150 mm thermal lens provides a narrow field of view (~6° HFOV) but very long detection range.

   • It can detect human-sized targets at 1.2–1.5 km and vehicle-sized targets at over 3 km, depending on contrast and background.

   • Using preset positions, the camera can scan sections of the fence (e.g., every 100 m) in intervals using its PTZ patrol mode.

3. PTZ Patrol Logic:

   • Set up 10–12 presets along the fence line (e.g., preset 1 at 0 m, preset 2 at 100 m, … preset 10 at 1,000 m).

   • The camera performs a patrol tour, rotating and focusing on each preset point for 10–15 seconds.

   • This creates a looped patrol, continuously sweeping the full 1 km side every 2–3 minutes.

   • If a person or vehicle is detected, the camera can automatically stop the patrol, zoom in using the optical 80× zoom, and send alerts.

4. Smart Analytics:

   • Enable line-crossing and intrusion detection along the virtual boundary.

   • Use human/vehicle classification to avoid false alarms (e.g., from kangaroos or cattle).

   • Fire detection can be activated to scan for hotspots in paddocks, sheds, or tree lines.

5. Notifications and Recording:

   • On detection, the system can:

     • Send alerts to a mobile app or control room,

     • Trigger local alarms (e.g., siren or floodlight),

     • Record and bookmark the event on NVR/SD card,

     • Use two-way audio to broadcast a warning message or speak live through the built-in speaker.

6. Environmental Protection:

   • The camera’s NEMA-4X anti-corrosion housing protects it from dust, rain, and harsh farm conditions.

   • The smart wiper ensures the optical lens stays clean in muddy or rainy weather.
