Infrared thermal scanning: What it is and how it works

Today, securing your property and assets is incredibly important. But with criminals becoming cleverer, security cannot follow a one-and-done approach. You have to look at innovative ways to ensure your property and the people using your facilities are as safe as possible.

In recent years, increasingly more business owners have looked into implementing infrared thermal scanning systems to secure their properties and assets. Let’s delve into what these systems are and how they work:

What is infrared thermal scanning?

Infrared thermal scanners are used to scan the surface temperature of objects. It can be used for manually scans or automatic scanning when built into an existing system.

How infrared thermal scanning systems work

All objects radiate infrared energy, known as a heat signature. Infrared thermal scanning systems come with a special infrared camera that is designed to detect and measure the infrared energy of objects. The infrared camera then converts the infrared data captured into an electronic image that indicates the apparent surface temperature of an object being measured.

What can an infrared thermal scanner be used for?

For security purposes, thermography can be used to detect unauthorised persons in restricted zones or on private property.

It can also be used to help businesses measure the temperature in warehouses, steelworks, and buildings to observe tasks for applications such as fire prevention.

The benefits of using infrared thermal scanners

  • No contact

Thermal imaging systems uses a completely “no contact” approach.

  • Quick response

These scanners produce immediate results.

  • Scientifically accurate

When used correctly, these scanners give you a scientifically accurate reading.
