Avigilon H5A Thermal Camera

The Avigilon H5A Thermal Camera combines next-generation thermal sensing technology with advanced video analytics to provide comprehensive environmental protection in areas with poor visibility, complete darkness, or challenging conditions like smoke or foliage.

This versatile camera can detect the presence and movement of people and vehicles, alerting operators to potentially critical events while minimizing false alarms. Its integrated radiometric capabilities allow sites to support security-relevant applications by identifying hot spots or overheating equipment.

Key Features

Next-Generation Video Analytics: Detects people and vehicles with enhanced object classification, enabling faster responses to critical events.
Radiometric Capabilities: Measures object surface temperature and sends alarms when the temperature is above or below a predefined value, or if unusual changes occur over a specified period.
Multiple VGA and QVGA Lens Options: Choose from various VGA and QVGA lens options for optimal site coverage.
Durable Design: IK10, IP66/67, and NEMA 250 Type 4X rated for impact, water, and dust resistance, with protection against corrosion. Operates effectively between -40 °C and 65 °C.
FIPS 140-2 Cryptography with Integrated TPM and Secure Boot: Meets high data security standards required by government agencies and highly regulated organizations, featuring FIPS-compliant cryptography, integrated TPM, and Secure Boot.
ONVIF® Conformant: Compliant with ONVIF Profiles S and T for easy integration into existing ONVIF infrastructures. Profile G supports edge search, playback, and retrieval, while Profile M enables cross-functional analytics with third-party solutions.
