🌡️ Complete Guide: Thermal Cameras FAQ

Monitoring independent of light and weather. Find out how thermal cameras work in perimeter protection, which differs from classic cameras, how they detect fires and what advanced bispectral systems are.

1. How does the thermal camera work in the surveillance system? +
Unlike classic cameras, thermal camera does not need any light source visible or infrared (IR) lamps. This device has a special sensor (microbolometer) that records the invisible thermal radiation (LWIR long-term infrared) emitted by each object with a temperature above absolute zero. Then the camera processor transforms these temperature differences into a clear image (thermogram) on which warmer objects (e.g. man, animal, engine working) clearly cut off from the cold background.
2. What is the difference between a thermal camera and a normal infrared (IR) camera? +
The classic camera at night "lights" the IR light area, which reflects from objects and returns to the lens – if thick fog, heavy rain, snow or bushes appear on the road, the IR light will bounce from them and blind the camera. External thermal imaging camera It does not emit any light. She "sees" the warmth of her own intruder, so that she can easily detect a man or vehicle in absolute Egyptian darkness, flowing against the current of dense smoke, fog, or even hidden behind rare bushes.
3. What is a bispectral camera, and what are its advantages? +
Bispectral camera is an advanced 2w1 device that has two independent lenses and transducers in one housing: one traditional (optical for visible light) and the other thermal. Thanks to this connection, the monitoring system is gaining powerful capabilities: the thermal lens clearly detects motion and temperature anomalies from a huge distance, and the optical lens allows the operator to accurately verify details (e.g. identification of the face of the intruder, color of clothing or vehicle registration numbers).
4. Where is fixed thermal monitoring most often used? +
Thermal surveillance systems are commonly used in high-risk areas and where reliable perimeter protection of large areas is required. They are perfect for securing state borders, airports, power stations, military bases, ports, large photovoltaic farms, as well as in industry: in landfills, sawmills, hangars and inside production halls for constant monitoring of machine and transformer temperatures.
5. How does a thermal camera protect objects from fire? +
This is one of the biggest advantages of this technology. Classic smoke detectors or optical cameras only react when the fire has already exploded and there is visible smoke or fire. Thermovision camera with fire detection function It continuously measures the temperature at hundreds of frame points. It is able to detect anomalous temperature rise (e.g. overheating cable, smoky pile of garbage or biomass) long before an open flame appears, sending an immediate alert to fire systems.
6. Why do thermal camera resolutions (e.g. 160x120 or 384x288) seem so small? +
In the world of optical cameras the standard is megapixels (4K, 8MP), but in thermal vision the physics of sensors looks completely different. The production of heat recorders is extremely complicated and costly. Row Resolutions 160×120, 384×288 or 640×512 pixels are fully sufficient for AI analytical algorithms to reliably detect and classify a human figure from a distance of several hundred meters. Each pixel in such a camera is actually a precise, independent temperature measurement point.
7. Can a thermal camera "see" through windows? +
Contrary to common myths from old action films – **no, the thermal camera does not see through glass**. For thermal radiation (LWIR wavelength), a simple window window window acts as an opaque mirror. If you point the thermal camera at the window, you will not see what is going on inside the building, but you will see the thermal reflection of the camera itself or the surroundings behind it. For the same reason, the lenses of these cameras are not made of glass, but from expensive, rare metal – German.
8. What is the NETD parameter in the specification of the thermal camera and why is it important? +
NETD (Noise Equivalent Temperature Difference) is a key indicator of camera thermal sensitivity, expressed in millikelwines (mK). It specifies how minimal temperature differences the device sensors are able to distinguish from each other. The smaller the NETD value (e.g. ≤35 mK is better than ≤50 mK), the camera is tenderer and the generated thermal image is more detailed, noise-free and more precise, which has colossal significant during difficult weather conditions (e.g. during fog or rain).
9. Do thermal cameras support intelligent AI image analysis? +
Yeah, and there's their greatest force in this combination. Modern thermal vision cameras Hikvision HeatPro whether Dahua have built-in powerful Deep Learning algorithms. Since the thermal image of a human figure or warmed-up vehicle is perfectly cut off from the environment, artificial intelligence algorithms are characterized by **almost 100% effectiveness of intruder detection** (perimetric protection, line crossing, intrusion), eliminating virtually zero false alarms caused by wind, leaf or shadows.
10. What do color palettes (e.g. Ironbow, White Hot, Black Hot) mean in camera settings? +
Because thermal radiation is invisible, the camera image must be artificially colored by the software to become readable to the human eye. Colour pallets serve this purpose. White Hot displays the highest temperature as bright white, and the coldest as black (very natural to detect people). Ironbow or Rainbow uses shades of violet, blue, orange and bile – this pallet is ideal for precise technical measurements and location of the overheating sites.
11. Will the standard NVR network recorder handle the IP thermal camera? +
Yes, provided that the brand or ONVIF standard is compatible. IP thermal camera sends to the network a standard digital video stream compressed with H.265 or H.264 codec, exactly as a normal camera. Each modern NVR IP recorder will save this image to the disk. However, in order to be able to fully manage advanced thermography functions, temperature metadata and fire alarm handling, it is recommended to use recorders of the same series/producer as the camera (e.g. Hikvision I/K/M series).
12. How far can a thermal camera detect a human being from? +
The range depends directly on the focal length of the German lens used and the sensor resolution. Basic compact Hikvision thermal cameras with a lens with a focal length of 3mm or 6mm can easily detect the presence of a person from a distance from 150 to 300 metres. Professional long-range models, equipped with narrow-angle lenses (e.g. 25mm, 50mm or changeling lenses), can detect a human figure from a distance of **a few kilometres**, making them irreplaceable in strategic protection.
13. What is the difference between temperature measurement (thermography) and normal thermal preview? +
Basic safety cameras show only a thermal image (where it is warmer and where it is colder), without giving specific values. In turn ** thermal cameras (measurement cameras)** are devices precisely calibrated radiometrically. They allow the user to click on any point on the screen and read the exact temperature of the object to ±2°C (or even ±0.5°C). This enables constant control of technological processes in factories and instant detection of overheating of equipment.
14. What is the function "Imaging Fusion" in dual cameras? +
Image fusion (two lens) is an innovative software feature that imposes two images in real time: a translucent, color thermal image is perfectly adapted into a sharp, detailed image from an optical lens. This allows the monitoring operator to see on one screen both precise edges, subtitles or ambient details, as well as the accurate spread of heat or the precise location of the ignition point.
15. What is the emission factor and why do you have to set it in a thermal camera? +
Various materials (e.g. wood, concrete, matt plastic or polished metal) at the same temperature with different efficiency give (emit) heat radiation. This capacity shall be determined by the emission factor ( To thermal camera with temperature measurement it gave 100% true results, the installer must enter an appropriate emission value for the test surface in the device menu (e.g. for human skin it is about 0.98, and for matte steel approx. 0.80).
16. Will the dense green wall (trees, hedges) completely block the image from the thermal camera? +
The thermal camera is not a radar that penetrates walls. If the leaves and branches form a compact, dense, non-opening green barrier, they will block the heat radiation coming from the man behind them (the camera will then show the outer temperature of the leaves). However, if the bushes are rare, hollow or branches do not have leaves in the winter, the heat radiation will easily penetrate the cracks, and the intelligent analyst AI in IP thermal imaging camera immediately detect the heat point moving between them.
17. What is the "Blackout" thermovision matrix and how to protect the camera from the sun? +
The sun emits gigantic amounts of heat. Pointing the camera sensor directly to the solar shield can lead to thermal damage or burning of a sensitive microbolometric matrix. Modern, professional CCTV thermal cameras have built-in sun protection software ("Sun Protection"). When the algorithm detects extreme energy point focus, it automatically blocks the area or controls the iris, protecting the expensive optoelectronic system from destruction.
18. How is the external fixed IP thermal cameras powered? +
Identical to standard advanced IP monitoring. These devices support the most convenient supply standard PoE (Power over Ethernet) – most often in the stronger version 802.3at (PoE+) or 802.3bt (Hi-PoE), which allows the transmission of data and current needed, among others, to power the built-in automatic housing heaters. Alternatively, most models have a traditional screw connector for a power supply of 12V DC or 24V AC.
19. What is Blackbody and when is required? +
Black Body (Blackbody) is an external reference device that continuously maintains a specified, perfectly stable temperature (e.g. 35.°C) and is mounted in the camera's field of view. The camera continuously calibrates its sensor against this device. The use of Blackbody is essential in advanced medical and airport systems for mass, touch-free screening of human body temperature, as this allows to raise the measuring accuracy of the camera to amazing ±0.3°C.

🧰 FAQ – Knowledge Center & Frequently Asked Questions

🎥 Closed-Circuit Television (CCTV) & Surveillance

What home surveillance system should I choose?
The choice of home surveillance depends on the finishing stage of the building. For unfinished buildings (raw state) or before renovation, digital IP surveillance powered via twisted-pair cable (PoE) is optimal. It ensures maximum stability, highest image quality (4K Ultra HD), and resistance to interference. In finished buildings where running cables is not possible, wireless Wi-Fi systems with local power supply work great.
IP or analog home surveillance – which is better?
We strongly recommend IP surveillance. It offers higher resolution, intelligent AI image analytics (human/vehicle recognition), and easy expansion via PoE switches. Analog surveillance (HD-CVI/AHD/TVI) is a good and economical solution mainly when you are upgrading an old system and want to reuse existing coaxial cables.
How to design outdoor surveillance for a single-family home?
Effective outdoor surveillance should cover all entry points (doors, garage gate, wicket) and the property perimeter. Selecting cameras with the correct viewing angle (2.8mm lenses for a wide frame) and IP66/IP67 weather-resistant housings is crucial. It is important to mount cameras at a height that prevents easy tampering (approx. 3-4 meters).
Construction site cameras – wireless Wi-Fi or GSM 4G/LTE?
A permanent Wi-Fi network is rarely available on a construction site, which is why external 4G/LTE GSM SIM card cameras are the best solution. They allow full remote viewing in locations lacking network infrastructure. It is worth choosing battery-powered models or those supported by a solar panel, making construction site monitoring 100% autonomous.
What surveillance works best for a company or large warehouse?
Scalable IP systems based on professional network video recorders (NVR) supporting from 16 up to 128 cameras are dedicated to companies and warehouses. Crucial elements here are motorized zoom (motozoom) cameras for face and license plate identification (LPR), integration with access control systems, and advanced disk arrays ensuring secure data recording for the legally required period.
What cameras should be chosen for a livestock barn or farm?
The specifics of livestock facilities (high ammonia concentration, moisture, dust) require cameras with increased chemical and mechanical resistance (min. IP67 ingress protection, IK10 vandalism resistance). PTZ (pan-tilt-zoom) cameras with strong optical zoom are recommended for barns, allowing farmers to remotely monitor animals (e.g., during calving) from a phone without entering the building.
How does intelligent AI image analytics work in Dahua and Hikvision systems?
Modern IP cameras from Hikvision (AcuSense technology) and Dahua (WizSense/WizMind technology) have built-in deep-learning artificial intelligence algorithms. They filter out false alarms by precisely distinguishing human and vehicle silhouettes from moving leaves, rain, or small animals. They also enable setting up virtual tripwires and restricted zones whose violation immediately triggers a push notification.
Why is it worth buying a ready-made 4-camera PoE surveillance kit?
A 4-camera PoE kit is the ideal price-to-capabilities balance for a standard single-family home. PoE (Power over Ethernet) technology allows transmitting video signal and power over a single cable (UTP twisted pair). By purchasing a ready kit at MikaShop.pl, you receive perfectly matched components: cameras, NVR recorder, industrial-class HDD drive, and a set of accessories ensuring a quick startup.
How to achieve good nighttime surveillance (24/7 color image)?
To enjoy a clear, colorful image in total darkness, choose cameras equipped with advanced high-sensitivity sensors and bright lenses (F1.0). Technologies like Hikvision ColorVu or Dahua Full-Color do not use traditional black-and-white infrared (IR), but instead illuminate the scene with visible, warm LED light, allowing full identification of clothing colors or vehicles at night.
When are outdoor PTZ Wi-Fi cameras useful?
Outdoor PTZ cameras with a Wi-Fi module are an excellent solution for patrolling large, open spaces (e.g., yards, gardens, parking lots) without installing multiple fixed-position cameras. Equipped with an auto-tracking function, they follow the detected object, recording its every step.

🔒 Intrusion and Hold-up Alarm Systems (SSWiN)

What home alarm system should I choose?
A good alarm system should be based on certified devices (Grade 2 or Grade 3). The core of the system is the alarm control panel, keypad, external siren, and properly distributed detectors. Brand selection depends on expectations: for advanced systems with building automation elements, we recommend the Polish brand Satel (Integra/Perfecta series), while for those looking for modern design and simple wireless operation – the Ajax system.
Wireless home alarm – what to buy to make it secure?
When choosing a wireless alarm, avoid cheap, unbranded devices operating on open frequencies. Professional wireless systems (e.g., Satel Abax 2 or Ajax) use encrypted, two-way radio transmission across multiple bands simultaneously. In the event of a signal jamming attempt, the system immediately changes frequency and alerts the owner of sabotage.
Is a DIY alarm kit a good solution?
Yes, especially in the case of wireless systems. Manufacturers like Ajax design their devices using Smart-Placement – detectors are added to the control panel using QR codes in a mobile app, and installation is limited to screwing brackets in place. For simple wired systems (e.g., Satel Perfecta), installation can also be done independently with the help of our technical advisors.
What features does a modern home alarm system have?
Modern alarm systems go far beyond burglary detection. They protect the home from water damage (flood detectors), detect early stages of fire (smoke and heat detectors), and carbon monoxide leaks. They can also shut off the main water valve in case of a failure and control lighting, roller shutters, and heating.
How does a phone-controlled alarm work?
A control panel equipped with an IP or IP/GSM module connects to the manufacturer's dedicated, secure cloud. Via a free smartphone app (Android/iOS), the user can arm or disarm the system (the whole house or selected zones) from anywhere in the world, view event history, and receive instant push notifications about alarms.
How do pet-immune motion detectors (PET function) work?
Pet-immune detectors ignore the presence of dogs or cats (usually up to 15-20 kg). This is achieved through a specially designed Fresnel lens that creates a "dead zone" near the floor, or advanced digital signal processing that analyzes the size and thermal characteristics of the moving object. Dual technology detectors (PIR+MW) are recommended for homes with pets.
Why is an alarm with GSM notification and a SIM card a necessity?
GSM notification is a crucial backup channel for internet communication (Wi-Fi/LAN). In the event of a home router failure or intentional power cutoff by a burglar, the alarm control panel automatically switches to the GSM cellular network. This enables uninterrupted SMS alerts, voice calls (VOICE), and effective signal transmission to a security agency.

⚡ Gate Automation and Drives

What sliding gate drive to choose for up to 500kg?
When choosing a drive, always keep a 30-50% safety margin relative to the gate weight so that the actuator easily handles resistance in winter conditions (snow, frost). For a sliding gate weighing up to 500kg, proven, legendary drives based on metal gears are the ideal choice, characterized by reliability and easy movement parameter programming.
What swing gate drive to choose – narrow or wide posts?
This is a key installation parameter. For narrow posts (metal or clinker with a hinge mounting depth of up to 10-15 cm), standard linear screw actuators are used. For very wide posts (e.g., made of split-face concrete blocks where the distance from the hinge to the edge of the post is over 20 cm), a regular actuator will jam against the edge. In this case, articulated arm drives are necessary.
Nice, Came or BFT gate automation kit – what to choose?
All three brands represent the highest European quality and guarantee full availability of spare parts for years. **Came** is famous for incredibly durable mechanical designs and service simplicity. **Nice** offers modern design, advanced control panels, and a very popular line of home drives. **BFT** stands out with advanced 24V power technology featuring intelligent torque management (D-Track system).
Universal gate remote control – how does programming work?
Universal self-copying remotes work smoothly with fixed codes (usually 433.92 MHz). However, branded drives use secure rolling codes. To program a new remote, you usually need to trigger the pairing procedure directly on the radio receiver inside the drive control panel or use a previously programmed remote via radio (near the gate), following the procedure described in the manufacturer's manual.
Gate photocells – connection and operating principle?
Photocells consist of a transmitter (TX) and receiver (RX) creating an invisible infrared barrier across the driveway opening. The receiver is connected to the control panel using a power cable and an NC (Normally Closed) line to the safety input (PHOTO/STOP). Breaking the infrared beam during gate closing results in the immediate stop of the wings and their safe reversal, preventing impact on a vehicle or person.
What cable should be laid in the ground for a gate drive?
To supply main power to the drive control panel (230V), use a three-core, dedicated underground cable in a thick black PVC sheath resistant to moisture and UV, such as **YKY 3x1.5 mm²** or **YKY 3x2.5 mm²** (for greater distances from the switchboard). For connecting accessories (photocells, warning lamp, wall buttons), gel-filled outdoor underground twisted-pair cable **U/UTP cat. 5E** or low-voltage signal cable **YTDY** is ideal.
