  • Bridging the Gap—Efficiently Integrating Sensors into Asset Health Software for the Electric Utility Market

    Condition monitoring sensors can help provide needed data for electric utilities, but many face issues with sensor-system compatibility and lack the skilled IIoT programmers needed to make integration easy. Bridging these sensors with innovative software and hardware resources offers an easy and effective way to aggregate condition data for important assets to improve situational awareness and empower decision support to keep operations running, reduce maintenance costs, and improve productivity, reliability, and safety.

  • Webinar - Introducing the Elara R-Series Radars

    Learn about the Teledyne FLIR Elara R-Series Commercial Ground Security Radars and how they are the ideal technology to strengthen your perimeter intruder detection system. A first for Teledyne FLIR, the Elara R-Series is the ideal commercial radar system for industrial commercial applications, increasing detection coverage, auto-tracking, dynamic mapping and position intelligence of intruders. 

  • Teledyne FLIR Expands Acoustic Imaging Offerings with Two Additional Si124 Camera Models

    Teledyne FLIR has expanded its acoustic imaging category with two additional models of the FLIR Si124 Industrial Acoustic Imaging Camera: The Si124-LD, specific for compressed air leak detection, and the Si124-PD, for partial discharge detection within high voltage electrical systems. This expansion provides additional, tailored solutions for different end-users needs, from utility infrastructure to plant environments, at a fraction of the cost.

  • Detecting Pests with Thermal Imaging

    Thermal imagers are an increasingly popular, non-intrusive solution for finding pests in walls and other hidden places. From rodents to hornets to termites, many homeowners and building maintenance professionals are using thermal to quickly locate nests and avoid spreading chemicals like insecticides around homes. However, successfully finding pests requires understanding a few key things about thermal imaging.

  • How Does Emissivity Affect Thermal Imaging?

    Emissivity is a measure of how efficiently an object radiates heat, i.e. how well the surface of an object “tells the truth” about its temperature. Emissivity values range from 0 (a theoretically perfect mirror that reflects all energy) to 1 (a theoretical object called a blackbody that perfectly absorbs and radiates all energy). Notice that the emissivity values of 0 and 1 can only be achieved in theory: in reality, physical objects can be better described as ranging from 0.01 to 0.99 on the emissivity scale.

  • Thermal Camera Specs You Should Know Before Buying

    The number of specifications listed for a thermal camera can be overwhelming when you’re trying to find the right camera for your needs. Any spec in isolation won’t tell you much about the camera—instead, it’s a combination of factors that determine a thermal imager’s capabilities. All specs provide useful information, but here are the main ones you need to consider to ensure you’re purchasing the right camera for your application.

  • How to Mount FLIR Clip-On Riflescopes

    Learn how to mount your FLIR clip-on system in front of an existing day scope, converting your riflescope into a thermal or night vision device in seconds—no tools needed.

  • What Not to Miss at CES 2020

  • Saving Beehives Using the FLIR ONE

    Beekeepers are increasingly turning to thermal imaging to help them care for their bees, especially during winter. Master beekeeper Rusty Burlew, who writes and maintains the beekeeping site Honey Bee Suite, has been using a FLIR ONE for several years, and highly recommends investing in a thermal camera for beekeeping.

  • Firefighters Use a FLIR TIC to Make a Lifesaving Grab

    When a burning building is filled with smoke, a thermal imaging camera (TIC) may be a firefighter’s best chance for navigating the interior to locate and rescue victims. This past summer, firefighters Robert McCarthy and Randy Rosseau with Palm Bay Fire Rescue in Florida made lifesaving use of a TIC, the FLIR K40, when they entered an active house fire and rescued a man and several dogs.

  • 5 Best Practices for Data Center Perimeter Security

    A recent IHS Markit report predicted that, by 2030, there will be 125 billion Internet-connected devices participating in the now well-known and widespread Internet of Things (IoT). Network surveillance cameras, lifestyle wearables, and smart home devices are all prime examples of IoT solutions today that are capturing an unprecedented amount of information. Now, there are more than three million data centers in the U.S. that are storing, processing and protecting this data. This data has become essential to everyday life for consumers and businesses alike. Consequently, perimeter security for data centers must be taken seriously. It is essential to execute strategies that proactively address security threats and prevent security breaches that would result in the loss of critical information.
