Saros, Flir Systems' new range of IP cameras for perimeter protection

Advanced detection, Thermal sensors and advanced analytics are some of flir Saros' features for advanced outdoor safety.

The manufacturer of safety systems Flir Systems has unveiled its new generation of networked security cameras, called Saros, for outdoor applications, combining multiple technologies for perimeter protection and intrusion detection on a single device in a cost-effective way.

In this sense, traditional perimeter security systems required significant investment, both in infrastructure and in constant expenses arising from false alarms from the devices. Saros cameras not only greatly reduce the cost of initial installation, needing fewer surveillance equipment, but also false positives thanks to the advanced analytics features that incorporate.

A single Flir Saros unit combines numerous security technologies, including:

• Multiple Flir Lepton thermal sensors: to monitor large areas, regardless of unfavourable lighting or weather conditions.
• High-definition optical cameras: with 1080p or 4K resolution options for effective visual identification, sharp and accurate intruders.
• Visible infrared and Led illuminators: to deter intruders with illuminated white light and detect movements at night or in total darkness.
• Advanced on-board analysis: accurate target detection and classification to help reduce false alarms.
• Two-way and digital audio input/output: to deliver a real-time audio response.

The Saros security platform is designed with current cybersecurity risks in mind, with end-to-end encryption in your configuration, web and video streams, as well as blocking after configuration to avoid tampering, along with removing ports to prevent remote security attacks.

James Cannon, President and CEO of Flir, states that "Saros equips multiple Leptons sensors and represents a new safety paradigm for large-area commercial locations facing the threat of loss. These cameras open up new business opportunities for central monitoring stations and security integrators with an effective and cost-effective solution".

The first Flir Saros models, both domes and panoramic, will be available in Europe and North America during the third quarter of 2018 through the manufacturer's network of distributors and integrators.
