Bi-Spectrum Thermal Cameras for Power Plants Leave a comment

Thermal camera are great devices for the surveillance of power plants because they display and reveal over or under heated components in a system. This makes identifying suspect or problem areas much easier and can save an immense amount of time in diagnosis. So let’s take a look at the best uses for thermal cameras for power plants and what features you may desire.  

Best Uses for Thermal Cameras:

Production process control- analyzing circuit boards to check for proper functioning and which components may cause issue. This can save a lot of time and work trying to diagnose the specific issue because you can clearly see what is causing the hold-up.  

Charging Pile- Keep an eye on charging stations for temperature fluctuations. Additionally, these devices a particularly dangerous as they connect to high-powered batteries that present explosion risks if not charged properly and become overheated.

Data Center- Check storage devices for proper temperature and operation. If your hard drives become overheated you risk losing valuable data and damage to your equipment.

Pipe Rack- Finally, you are also able to manage pipe temperature for safety and maintenance. When pipes become overheated they present risks of degradation and injury to other.  

What device should you pick?

The 2MRDIP-D2 Mini Bi-Spectrum Radiometric Thermal Detector from 2M Technology provides advanced capabilities in a compact package. Further, the unit is capable of recording in thermal and traditional footage views for different surveillance applications.  Its compact and sleek design provides high-quality footage while remaining discreet and out of the way.  

What features should you look for?

The surveillance camera offers 256 x 192 thermal resolution for high-quality footage. The device is also capable to record in standard resolution, providing users with a choice on viewing modes. Additionally, the thermal detector operates over a DC12 power supply for a stable connection and has a max consumption of 10w. An IP66 weather resistance rating allows for safe outdoor installation and use in mildly wet environments. The security camera also has an operating temperature range from -20*C – 60*C (-4*F-140*F) for use in harsh weather conditions.

Other Possible Considerations:

There are also a few other things you need to consider before purchasing a thermal detection surveillance unit. The number of hot spots you need to monitor is perhaps the most important. You don’t want to end up with a device that cannot handle the amount of work you need it to provide. Further, you may also want to look for traditional security cameras in addition to thermal detectors for more general surveillance and a complete overview of the location.
