FLIR 427-0030-15-00 F-117 Fixed Thermal IP Camera 13mm 160x120
When perimeter security demands 24/7 detection regardless of lighting conditions, fog, or smoke, visible light cameras fall short. The FLIR F-117 delivers thermal imaging in a compact fixed IP platform, detecting heat signatures rather than reflected light. With a 160x120 thermal sensor and 13mm lens, this camera provides reliable intrusion detection and situational awareness in complete darkness and challenging environmental conditions where traditional surveillance fails.
Key Features
- 160x120 thermal resolution for heat-based detection independent of visible light
- 13mm fixed focal length lens optimized for medium-range perimeter coverage
- IP network connectivity for integration with standard VMS platforms and recording infrastructure
- Thermal imaging penetrates darkness, smoke, light fog, and dust where visible cameras become ineffective
- Fixed housing design simplifies installation in permanent surveillance positions
- Detects human and vehicle heat signatures at distances where facial recognition isn't required
- Lower resolution thermal sensor reduces bandwidth and storage demands compared to higher-density arrays
- FLIR thermal core technology proven across military, industrial, and commercial security applications
The F-117 addresses a specific deployment challenge: reliable detection in areas where lighting infrastructure is impractical or where covert surveillance is required. Thermal imaging doesn't rely on ambient or IR illumination, eliminating light pollution concerns and reducing installation complexity. The 160x120 resolution provides sufficient detail for detection and tracking workflows without the bandwidth overhead of higher-resolution thermal arrays, making it suitable for remote sites with limited network capacity.
Integration follows standard IP camera workflows—PoE powering where supported, ONVIF compatibility for VMS integration, and network video streams that existing recording infrastructure can handle. The 13mm lens delivers a focused field of view for monitoring specific zones like gates, fence lines, or building perimeters where you need consistent detection performance regardless of time of day or weather conditions. This camera serves as a force multiplier for security teams managing large perimeters or facilities where conventional lighting-dependent cameras create coverage gaps.
