Sizzling Thermal
Opportunities Await
Though thermal
video was already
gaining popularity
when it began
to be utilized
for temperature
monitoring during
the pandemic, it
still has more to
offer. Here's how
its use cases can
broaden integrator
opportunities.

e are fortunate to live in an
W
age where there is technology
available to address every need
imaginable. Car breaks down
in the middle of nowhere? Use your smartphone
to call a tow truck and order an Uber
home. A major snowstorm is preventing you
from driving to the office? Fire up your laptop
and log onto Zoom.
The security industry in particular has benefited
from rapid advances in technology. The
advent of wireless communication, shrinking
components, mobile power sources and much
more have created new opportunities for integrators.
Another technology to add to that list
is thermal imaging solutions. Once relegated
to expensive projects in mainly industrial areas,
thermal imaging has become more commonly
found across a range of verticals, not to
mention become more cost-friendly.
" Traditionally speaking, the use cases for
thermals have become more accessible. Before,

they were very much for government agencies,
military would use it on bases, maybe on vehicles,
nationwide critical things. Now, we're seeing
that's evolved into more broad use, though
still a perimeter protection type of use case
where a user is looking to defend some sort of
facility and really detect an object at a greater
distance where maybe a traditional camera
wouldn't because of low visibility, a challenging
environment in front of it, or simply just
the range, " says Steve Burdet, manager, solutions
management at Axis Communications.
While the use of thermal technology is
expanding, not every application has been
a home run. Despite being widely herald
by some as an integral solution to fight the
spread of COVID-19 at the beginning of the
pandemic, mainstream temperature screening
failed to catch on in a meaningful way. Experts
say this was due to a combination of cost, lack
of accuracy and realizing that there were more
practical ways of stopping the spread.
