SightLogix Introduces Low Cost Smart Thermal Camera

  • Apr 10, 2013

SightLogix Introduces Low Cost Smart Thermal CameraSightLogix’s new SightSensor NS60, featured here at ISC West, brings thermal analytic accuracy and the clearest thermal images 24 hours/day to a broad range of price-sensitive applications. Attractively priced at $4,995 (MSRP) in the United States, it’s an exciting addition to the SightSensor line of smart thermal cameras.

“The NS60 leverages the accuracy and image quality of all SightSensor smart thermal cameras,” said John Romanowich, president and CEO, SightLogix. “With a more economical price, the NS60 makes a compelling case for using thermal detection solutions for mainstream, outdoor security applications.”

SightSensor NS60 accurately detects intruders at distances up to 60 meters (200ft) with a 63° field of view (FOV). Versatile camera placement options can eliminate infrastructure, such as poles and trenching, compared to other video and perimeter sensor technologies, making the NS60 an economical solution for preventing copper theft and protecting storage yards, substations, communication towers, entry gates, well heads, car lots, or to fill gaps and blind spots along irregularly-shaped fences or topography. For longer-range applications, Thermal SightSensor prices drop to less than $10/foot, MSRP in the United States.

Like all SightSensors, the NS60 leverages powerful, on-board video processing for high Probability of Detect (PD) and low Nuisance Alarm Rates (NAR) while providing crisp, clear images night and day. The NS60 consists of a thermal imager, complete with lens optics, electronic stabilization, image contrast enhancement, video analytics software, camera control and geospatial target tracking within a ruggedized, NEMA 4X IP66, nitrogen-purged housing. SightSensor cameras are pre-integrated with most third-party video management, physical security information management (PSIM) and access control systems.

  • The Evolution of IP Camera Intelligence

    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.
