The FLIR A500f Advanced Smart Sensor is a rugged, outdoor thermal camera with built-in analytics and alarming for continuous condition monitoring and early fire detection.
FLIR A500f Advanced Smart Sensor Thermal Cameras are ideal for users who want built-in, on-camera analytics and alarm capabilities for outdoor condition monitoring and early fire detection applications. These cameras can help companies protect assets, improve safety, maximize uptime, and minimize maintenance costs. Featuring a protective housing designed to withstand harsh environmental conditions, FLIR A500f cameras combine unmatched thermal imaging with edge computing and industrial internet of things (IIoT) for simplified inclusion in new or existing networks. For VMS integrations, thermal and visible streams can be viewed independently or simultaneously. The cameras are easy to add, set up, and operate in HMI/SCADA systems, offering automation system solution providers a running start.
