FLIR 427-0093-51-00 FC-309 ID Thermal Security Camera with 35mm Lens
The FLIR FC-309 ID addresses perimeter security challenges where lighting conditions are unpredictable or non-existent. This thermal imaging camera detects intruders based on heat signatures rather than visible light, providing reliable detection in complete darkness, through light fog, and in smoke-filled environments where traditional cameras fail. The 35mm lens configuration delivers the field of view and detection range needed for mid-range perimeter monitoring applications.
Key Features
- Thermal imaging technology detects heat signatures independent of lighting conditions
- 35mm lens provides focused coverage for medium-distance perimeter applications
- NTSC 30Hz video output ensures compatibility with standard North American monitoring systems
- Designed for 24/7 outdoor security installations with weatherproof construction
- Reduces false alarms by distinguishing between human heat signatures and environmental factors
- Complements visible light cameras in comprehensive perimeter security designs
- Simplifies integration into existing analog video infrastructure
The FC-309 ID series represents FLIR's purpose-built approach to perimeter intrusion detection. Unlike general-purpose thermal cameras, this model is optimized specifically for security applications where accurate human detection matters more than thermal measurement precision. The 35mm lens strikes a balance between coverage area and detection distance, making it appropriate for monitoring fence lines, building perimeters, and critical infrastructure boundaries where you need to identify potential threats before they reach secured areas.
Thermal imaging eliminates the limitations inherent in visible light and infrared illuminator systems. No supplemental lighting infrastructure is required, and detection performance remains consistent regardless of time of day or weather conditions. The NTSC output standard ensures straightforward integration with existing DVR and monitoring systems throughout North American installations. For integrators designing layered security systems, the FC-309 ID provides the always-on detection capability that forms the foundation of effective perimeter protection, working alongside PTZ cameras and analytics platforms to create complete situational awareness.
