Long Range Thermal Cameras
A quarter mile away, in the dark (using the Discoverii 3000 long range night vision camera system from Vumii, from approximately 400 meters away)

You might have seen their heat blobs in the movies. Or you might have worked with them during a military tour of duty. Long range thermal cameras have the ability to create pictures and video on a surveillance monitor, where the images are based on temperature differences between and within objects under surveillance. Imagery is primarily shadows and shapes.
A typical long range thermal camera:
- Reading text and seeing details of faces aren't possible
- Viewing through glass isn't possible
- High magnification and zoom are expensive options due to the lens material.
For these purposes, Vumii offers Discoverii and Claritii long range day/night threat assessment cameras.
Unlike a traditional thermal camera, Vumii’s camera systems use active illumination, making them spectacular for detailed threat assessment and criminal prosecution
Another disadvantage of typical thermal cameras compared to Vumii’s long range night vision camera systems: with a typical cooled thermal camera, it's important to replace the cryogenic cooler which can be an expensive consumer of man-hours.
Vumii's Camera Systems
vs. Thermal Imagers
- If you must use thermal cameras...
- Yes, we can add a thermal camera if it’s mandated...
If you’re being held to a mandate use to have some thermal imagers for detection, we'll do our best to help you understand how well our LED-illuminated camera systems (Claritii) do detection well. But in the end, if you choose thermal for detection, we'll help you integrate those threat detection imagers with our extraordinary threat assessment cameras (Claritii and Discoverii).
We even OEM a few models of thermals - for integrated threat detection - so feel free to ask us, if you have no choice but to include some thermal imagers in your solution.
