DALLAS, Sept. 16 /PRNewswire/ -- Raytheon Company's Raytheon Infrared
announces the introduction of the Thermal Security Camera Extended Performance
(TSCXP). The sleek, black thermal imaging camera provides security personnel
with the ability to see what traditional security cameras can't -- dangers
lurking in the darkness. In the security business, that extra edge can make a
significant difference.
The TSCXP makes it possible to detect intruders, both persons and
vehicles, in total darkness at ranges much longer than those afforded by the
naked eye or traditional security cameras. Heat-generating objects, such as
people or vehicles, stand out in thermal video, making them easy for guards or
automatic detection equipment to identify. And, like its cousin, the TSCSS
(Standard Series), the TSCXP works seamlessly with conventional closed-circuit
television systems. That means no new wiring, no installation of new control
systems and no new monitors. The plug and play capability of the TSCXP makes
it ideal for a broad range of security surveillance situations.
"In the past couple of years, we've all seen how important it is to have
good security -- the stakes are just so much higher now," said Raytheon
Infrared President Chris Bade. "Raytheon's Thermal Security Camera series
offers organizations a better way to guard their people and other valuable
assets by helping security personnel see and address problems they might
otherwise have missed."
The TSCXP fits inside the majority of camera enclosures currently in use
at facilities in hot, desert areas or cold, wintry climates. The extension of
temperature range lets organizations take advantage of the additional levels
of security made possible with thermal imaging cameras. Using the TSCXP also
makes it possible to avoid the use of security lighting. Installation of
security lighting is expensive, costly to maintain, and often obtrusive and
aesthetically unpleasing. Waterfront areas or those where lighting is not
permitted can use the TSCXP to See the Unseen(TM) in daytime and dark.
