FLIR A500 Thermal Camera with Advanced Smart Sensor

Available with a selection of lenses and a range of optional extras, the FLIR A500 Automation Thermal Camera is an infrared-imaging automation camera equipped with an advanced smart sensor configuration, edge computing, and an Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT). It is perfect for complex remote monitoring, alarming, and analytics objectives.

Thermal Imaging

Capable of delivering advanced thermal imaging, the A500 features a 464 x 348px IR resolution and precision motorised focus for ensuring consistent, precise temperature readings of both near and far objects. Measure temperatures between -20°C and +1500°C to an approximate accuracy of ±2°C/2%. It is ideal for monitoring critical infrastructure, assessing product quality, and detecting overheating components, it can even be used to identify elevated skin temperature alongside other temperature screening tools.

Advanced Smart Sensor Configuration

FLIR’s advanced smart sensor configuration is perfect for those who require built-in analytics. Cameras with this configuration allow you to transfer complete, actional results to your own system. The advanced smart sensor configuration supports the following functions and features:

• Built-in spot analytics function

Analytical & Alarm Functions

• FSX® (Flexible Scene Enhancement) technology: increases the contrast in even-temperature scenes and enhances detail in low light
• Polygon line function: improves definition in areas of interest and object analysis
• Compressed radiometric streaming allows footage to be shared over Wi-Fi; it also allows multiple cameras to be connected via Wi-Fi
• Adjustable temperature alarms

Easy Integration

Built-in computing options and unrivalled network connectivity means seamless integration into new and existing networks. Onboard Wi-Fi (optional), Modbus TCP, and Ethernet/IP simplify integration into HMI/SCADA systems. The Modbus TCP Master also provides superior I/O control enabling integration into analogue and digital industrial automation systems. The FLIR A500 Advanced Smart Sensor Automation Thermal Camera also integrates into REST API over XML or JSON web systems, while an MQTT protocol ensures it is prepared for digitisation.

Suitable for a range of complex analytical/alarm applications, the FLIR A500 Thermal Camera is a reliable, flexible, powerful temperature-measuring automation camera.
