Thermal Imaging Cameras

Protectowire thermal imaging cameras, powered by Planck Vision Systems deliver high-performance fixed-mount monitoring with integrated thermal and visible-light sensors, enabling proactive detection of abnormal heat conditions before fires occur. Unlike traditional systems that respond only after smoke or flames are visible, these cameras enhance life safety, protect assets, and improve operational reliability by continuously monitoring temperature conditions in critical areas. High-resolution thermal sensors, configurable alarm thresholds, and multiple lens options allow precise detection of overheating across a wide range of applications.

On-board analytics and head-based processing provide real-time evaluation of thermal data while minimizing network bandwidth usage. The cameras integrate seamlessly with facility management and life safety systems. Dual thermal and visible-light imaging enhances situational awareness, supports condition-based maintenance, and enables event recording, post-incident analysis, and supplemental video surveillance for regulatory compliance and operational review. By identifying elevated temperatures early, Protectowire thermal imaging cameras help facilities mitigate fire risk, minimize property and operational losses, and safeguard personnel.

EPC (Extruded Polyvinyl Chloride) – is a durable flame-retardant vinyl outer jacket designed for interior commercial and industrial applications. Features of this jacket include low moisture absorption, resistance to many common chemicals, and excellent flexibility at low temperatures.

XCR (Extreme Corrosion Resistance) – is a high-performance fluoropolymer jacket designed for both interior and exterior environments. Features of this jacket include excellent chemical resistance, abrasion resistance, weather resistance, and high-temperature performance. XCR is the only heat detector that is FM-approved for corrosive environments.

LSZH (Low Smoke Zero Halogen) – is a durable outer jacket designed for interior commercial and industrial applications requiring low smoke zero halogen performance. Features of this jacket include low moisture absorption, resistance to many common chemicals, and excellent flexibility at low temperatures.

XLT (Extreme Low Temperature) – is an outer jacket specifically selected for cold storage and freezers. Features of this jacket include low moisture absorption and excellent performance in extremely low temperatures. This detector has been UL and FM tested to –60°F (–51°C)

EPR (Extruded Polypropylene Rubber) – is an outer jacket designed for both interior and exterior environments. Features of this jacket include good abrasion resistance, chemical resistance, and weather resistance over a wide temperature range.
