FLIR 427-0075-05-00 PT-617 HD Thermal Pan/Tilt Camera with 35mm Lens
When perimeter protection demands 24/7 detection beyond the capabilities of visible-light cameras, the FLIR PT-617 HD delivers thermal imaging in a ruggedized pan/tilt platform. This 640x480 resolution thermal camera with 35mm lens provides long-range intrusion detection in complete darkness, through light fog, and in challenging weather conditions where standard surveillance fails. Built for critical infrastructure, transportation hubs, and industrial facilities requiring continuous thermal monitoring with remote positioning control.
Key Features
- 640x480 uncooled VOx microbolometer thermal sensor for reliable detection in total darkness
- 35mm thermal lens optimized for medium to long-range perimeter monitoring applications
- Integrated pan/tilt mechanism enables remote positioning and preset patrol patterns
- NTSC analog video output for integration with legacy video management systems and matrix switchers
- HD thermal imaging provides superior detection range compared to lower-resolution thermal sensors
- All-weather housing designed for continuous outdoor operation in extreme temperature environments
- Pan/tilt control via standard protocols for integration with existing surveillance control systems
- Thermal imaging eliminates dependence on ambient lighting and reduces false alarms from shadows and light changes
The PT-617 HD addresses the fundamental challenge of perimeter security: detecting human-sized targets at useful distances regardless of lighting conditions. The 640x480 resolution delivers approximately 4x the detail of entry-level 320x240 thermal cameras, extending your detection range and improving target classification. The 35mm lens balances field of view with detection distance, making this configuration suitable for monitoring fence lines, vehicle approach routes, and facility perimeters spanning several hundred meters.
Integration follows standard pan/tilt control protocols, allowing the PT-617 HD to function as a drop-in replacement in existing surveillance architectures. The NTSC analog output connects directly to video encoders, hybrid NVRs, or legacy matrix systems. Mount on existing pan/tilt poles or structures rated for the environmental loads. This thermal pan/tilt solution reduces the infrastructure burden of lighting systems while providing detection capabilities that don't degrade with distance like motion-activated lighting approaches.
