Pelco ESCE1-2X40Q18-RLU Bispectral Thermal PTZ Camera

Pelco ESCE1-2X40Q18-RLU Bispectral Thermal PTZ Camera

The Pelco ESCE1-2X40Q18-RLU is a ruggedized bispectral PTZ dome that combines a 2MP visible imager with 40× optical zoom and an integrated QVGA uncooled microbolometer thermal channel with an 18 mm fixed thermal lens. This dual-sensor platform delivers simultaneous visible and thermal coverage from a single mounting point, eliminating the need for separate camera installations at critical infrastructure perimeters and border security applications.

Key Features

• Bispectral imaging: 2MP visible + thermal microbolometer on one platform
• 40× optical zoom on visible channel (4.3–120 mm focal length)
• 18 mm fixed thermal lens for mid-range heat detection
• Detects heat signatures through fog, smoke, and complete darkness
• 360° continuous pan; -90° to +1° tilt with 256 preset positions
• Gyro stabilization and Electronic Image Stabilization (EIS)
• Smart Analytics: auto-tracker, object detection, direction violation on both channels
• H.265/H.264 dual-stream video compression plus Motion JPEG
• 130 dB Wide Dynamic Range (WDR)

Environmental Durability

• MIL-STD-810G rated for extreme conditions
• IP66 and IP67 ingress protection
• Operating temperature range: -40°C to +60°C
• Low-light performance: 0.1 lux color; 0.01 lux monochrome

Networking & Integration

• ONVIF Profile S, T, G, and M compliant
• 100BASE-TX Ethernet connectivity
• IPv4/IPv6 support with HTTPS encryption
• Protocols: HTTP, RTSP, RTP, DNS, NTP
• 60 fps maximum frame rate at 2MP
• 1/2.8 inch CMOS image sensor
• 24VAC or 24VDC power options

Applications

Ideal for perimeter security, border crossings, critical infrastructure monitoring, port facilities, and areas requiring persistent all-weather surveillance. The independent visible 40× zoom and fixed thermal lens enable simultaneous detail capture and thermal anomaly detection without compromise.

Variant Notes: For wider thermal coverage, the ESCE1-2X40Q6 variant features a 6 mm thermal lens. Export-compliant 9 Hz thermal models are available with the "-1" suffix.

Warranty: 5-year manufacturer warranty included.
