FLIR Systems shipped the first commercial uncooled microbolometer in 1978 and has been the integrator-default for outdoor thermal ever since. Now part of Teledyne Technologies (since 2021), the company's Saros multi-spectral, FB-series perimeter, and FH-series fixed lines are the cameras that get specified when the customer needs to detect a person past 400 m in conditions where visible cameras are useless. FLIR is also where the NDAA Section 889 supply-chain compliance conversation lands: the US-manufactured lines carry verified TAA and NDAA-compliant supply chains, which matters increasingly for federal, utility, and critical-infrastructure deployments.

\"Saros

Saros multi-spectral perimeter

The Saros line combines a thermal sensor (320x240 or 640x480) with a 4K visible camera and IR illumination in one mount. Thermal triggers the alert; visible verifies and provides face/plate identification. The architecture collapses two-camera-per-zone perimeter designs into one device, with corresponding savings on cable runs, switch ports, and licensing.

\"FB-Series

FB-Series long-range detection

The FB-Series 320 and 640 thermal cameras carry lenses from 7 mm to 35 mm, delivering person-detection ranges from 200 m up past 800 m depending on lens choice. The 19 mm 640x480 model identifies a person at 117 m \u2014 the number that actually matters when the customer asks whether the camera will tell them what's at the fence at 2 AM.

FH-Series fixed perimeter cameras

The FH-Series is the fixed bullet thermal that fits the bulk of perimeter installations. IP66 / IK10 housing, 30 Hz frame rate (essential for moving targets \u2014 9 Hz cameras drop running subjects), 8 to 60 mm lens options, integrated onboard analytics for motion classification. The deployment pattern: one FH per 150 to 300 m of fence, paired with a visible PTZ from the IP camera catalog.

\"FLIR

Onboard thermal analytics

FLIR thermal cameras run motion classification on the edge \u2014 human vs vehicle vs animal vs ambient \u2014 using temperature-differential bi-directional analytics rather than absolute thresholds. This is the mechanism that prevents the solar-loading false-alarm pattern (sun-heated parapet caps registering as people at sunrise) that plagues thermal-only deployments without onboard intelligence.

\"NDAA-compliant

NDAA Section 889 compliant

FLIR's US-manufactured commercial lines carry verified TAA and NDAA Section 889 compliance \u2014 no banned-vendor components, no banned-country supply chain. For federal, utility, and critical-infrastructure deployments where the compliance audit will check the entire BOM, this matters at procurement time, not after.
