What do you think about thermal camera technology? The application of ther- mal imagery for high value sites is critical to the overall success of the security plan. In many environments, the use of adequate lighting for conventional imagery and the use of infra-red illumi- nation is not appropriate. Thermal imagery fills that security gap, providing not only a covert/non-intrusive imagery capability but also the ability to reach out, pushing-out the perimeter far beyond the fence line. The ability to distinguish the heat signature in a cluttered visual environment, sets the capability of thermal imagery apart from the others.
