Thermal Imaging

Overview

Driving in the dark can severely limit visibility, making driving difficult and dangerous.

While camera monitor systems can eliminate blind spots, a blanket of darkness, smoke, dust or fog can further reduce driver vision. This is especially problematic for the emergency services, military, construction, mining and quarry industries. This is when a thermal imaging camera is needed to eliminate fog, darkness, smoke, dust and other earthly elements that disable sight.

Brigade’s PathFindIR, thermal imaging camera detects differences in temperature, displaying images on a monitor and providing drivers with increased vision. The technology enables drivers to see objects and pedestrians up to 800 metres away or five times further than headlights. This improved visibility increases reaction times, allowing the driver to assess the situation quickly.

Incidents due to poor visibility

  • Accidents due to not seeing people in dark conditions
  • Collisions with other vehicles
  • Collisions with debris in the road

Thermal Imaging Camera

Infrared thermal imaging camera

The Brigade Electronics Infrared Thermal Imaging Camera systems enable drivers to see objects by detecting differences in temperature, improving visibility and reaction times and therefore reducing the risk of accidents, particularly in the dark or in harsh weather conditions.

A Thermal Image Camera is used in a variety of industries, we're all well aware of spies and the armed forces using them in action, but in relation to vehicle safety these cameras are used to help drivers to see things that would otherwise remain hidden.

In the winter season for example, fog is a dangerous hazard that everyone faces. Eliminate some dangers by using one of Brigades' Thermal Imaging Cameras which allows you to see clearly through the fog by identifying heat sources from other road users or pedestrians, allowing you to identify the hazards around you and arrive safely at your destination.
