New FLIR TCX Security Camera to be Showcased at ISC West

  • Apr 16, 2015

FLIR Systems, Inc. announced today the availability of the new FLIR TCX thermal mini bullet camera, a security camera combining 24/7 high-contrast thermal video and high-performance built-in video motion detection with a level of affordability that the industry has never seen. Powered by FLIR's revolutionary Lepton camera core, the TCX will be showcased at the ISC West Show in Las Vegas, NV from April 15th to 17th.

FLIR TCX outperforms visible-light security cameras by providing the advantage of seeing clearly in complete darkness without any illumination, in bright sunlight, through smoke, dust or even light fog – enhancing accuracy and dramatically reducing false alarms. Flexible for integration in any environment, indoors and out – even in temperatures as cold as -40°C – FLIR TCX is ideal for ensuring safety of public buildings, industrial facilities, large and small businesses, or residential areas. Featuring both intrusion detection and accurate video alarm verification in one device, FLIR TCX supports lighting control, people counting, retail traffic flow, and queue management, and enables a whole range of other applications including:

  • Intrusion/presence detection: vehicles, people, animals
  • Video alarm verification
  • Night vision – 24/7 CCTV
  • Residential security
  • Short-range perimeter security
  • Safety and fire assessment

"Whether you're a small business looking for intrusion detection and video alarm verification, a retail company looking for a solution to monitor customer traffic flow, or a small business trying to prevent break-ins, the TCX Mini Bullet is an extremely accurate solution," said John Distelzweig, Vice President and General Manager of FLIR Security. "As a leader in thermal security, FLIR is advancing the technology in such a way that makes thermal cameras accessible for anyone."

Starting at $799 MSRP, the TCX Thermal Mini Bullet is now available at professional distribution outlets such as ADI, Alarmax, Anixter-Tri-ed, eDist, and others. To learn more about the new TCX Thermal Mini Bullet, visit FLIR at booth 20053 at ISC West 2015.

    As the 30th anniversary of the IP camera approaches in 2026, it is worth reflecting on how far we have come. The first network camera, launched in 1996, delivered one frame every 17 seconds—not impressive by today’s standards, but groundbreaking at the time. It did something that no analog system could: transmit video over a standard IP network. Read Now

  • From Surveillance to Intelligence

    Years ago, it would have been significantly more expensive to run an analytic like that — requiring a custom-built solution with burdensome infrastructure demands — but modern edge devices have made it accessible to everyone. It also saves time, which is a critical factor if a missing child is involved. Video compression technology has played a critical role as well. Over the years, significant advancements have been made in video coding standards — including H.263, MPEG formats, and H.264—alongside compression optimization technologies developed by IP video manufacturers to improve efficiency without sacrificing quality. The open-source AV1 codec developed by the Alliance for Open Media—a consortium including Google, Netflix, Microsoft, Amazon and others — is already the preferred decoder for cloud-based applications, and is quickly becoming the standard for video compression of all types.
