01 · Technology

Two sensors. One camera.
Zero blind spots.

Bispectral imaging pairs a long-wave infrared thermal core with a 5MP visible sensor. Thermal picks up heat signatures through fog, smoke, glare, and total darkness. Visible confirms the target with full-color detail — every alert is verifiable evidence, not a guess.

Detection in complete darkness

7.8–14 µm spectral range catches body heat, engines, and thermal anomalies through fog, smoke, and adverse weather — where visible cameras go blind.

5.69M CMOS with 0.16 lux color sensitivity, 80′ Smart IR, and 120 dB WDR delivers court-usable evidence — even under harsh backlight or near-total darkness.

02 · Main features

Purpose-built for perimeter reality.

Long-range detection, operator-tuned palettes, and proactive temperature alarms — three signature capabilities that separate a bispectral thermal camera from a repurposed visible one.
Detection distance
See threats from up to 984 ft away.

Long-wave thermal optics extend actionable range far beyond visible cameras — detect a vehicle at 984 ft and a person at 394 ft, day or night, through fog, smoke, and glare.

Abnormal temperature alarm
Catch fires and equipment faults before they escalate.

Draw ROIs and set min / max / average temperature thresholds. Trigger real-time alarms on overheating machinery, hot bearings, ignition sources, or unauthorized heat signatures.

9 Thermal color palettes
Nine palettes. One camera. Every operator tuned in.

Switch between White Hot, Black Hot, Iron, Cool, Amber, Indigo, Tyrian, Glory, and Envy to maximize contrast for the scene, task, and viewing conditions. Fatigue drops, targets pop.

03 · Capabilities

Engineered to see what others miss.

Purpose-built for outdoor perimeter security, critical infrastructure, and mission-grade sites.
01
AI object detection & tracking

On-camera classification of people and vehicles. Filter alerts by object type, direction, line crossing, dwell, tailgating, and logical rules.

02
40 detection zones

Draw up to 40 independent zones and combine them with logical rules to eliminate false alarms in complex sites.

03
Thermal anomaly detection

Trigger events on temperature signatures — engines, fires, mammals, or unauthorized ignition — even before intruders reach the fence.

04
True WDR · 120 dB

Balances harsh backlight and deep shadow. Read license plates against headlights; see faces in doorway silhouettes.

05
Star- Light Plus + 80′ Smart IR

Full-color imaging down to 0.16 lux with intelligently synced IR for crisp B/W in total darkness.

06
-40°F cold start

Operates -40°F to 122°F. DC-powered cold start at -40°F for the harshest perimeter deployments.

07
IP66 · IK09 rugged housing

Sealed against dust and water, impact-rated against vandalism. Built for outdoor perimeters, not decorative lobbies.

08
NDAA & TAA compliant

Cleared for federal, government, and critical-infrastructure projects. 5-year warranty on every unit.

04 · Applications

NOTE:

Thermal cameras are subject to stricter export control requirements than standard visual cameras. DW provides thermal cameras at 9 fps to support compliance with export control regulations in most regions worldwide.

Under specific conditions, DW thermal cameras can provide accurate temperature measurements; however, they are not intended for human fever detection or for diagnosing, mitigating, or preventing any disease or health condition.

06 · FAQ

Thermal imaging, explained.

The concepts, terminology, and use cases operators and integrators ask about most.
01

What are thermal cameras?

Thermal cameras — also called thermal imagers or long-wave infrared (LWIR) cameras — are sensors that visualize heat instead of visible light. Every object above absolute zero radiates infrared energy; a thermal camera reads that radiation and translates it into a live image where hotter objects appear brighter (or in a chosen color palette). Because they don't need any ambient light, thermal cameras see in total darkness, through smoke, and through most airborne obscurants.
