The FLIR FH-Series R PTZ combines radiometric thermal imaging, visible video and continuous pan-tilt coverage for early fire detection, surface-temperature monitoring and security. It helps operators find hot spots before ignition, verify alarms visually and monitor wide outdoor areas around the clock.

-
MONITOR SURFACE TEMPERATURES
Onboard radiometry measures minimum, maximum, average and differential temperatures across user-defined spots, boxes and polygon areas.
-
COVER WIDE OUTDOOR AREAS
Continuous 360° pan, programmable presets and thermal imaging support scheduled patrols of industrial yards, stockpiles, processing areas and critical infrastructure.
-
VERIFY AND COORDINATE RESPONSE
Visible video with 30× optical zoom helps operators assess smoke, hot spots and intrusions, while NEXUS and ONVIF support integration with compatible security systems.
Eight thermal configurations

Designed for high-consequence sites
The IP66 system is designed for demanding outdoor environments. Typical applications include early fire detection around mines, warehouses, manufacturing plants, waste and recycling facilities, energy sites and other areas where a developing hot spot can cause injury, asset loss or operational shutdown.

Frequently asked questions
What does radiometric thermal imaging add?
Radiometry provides contactless surface-temperature measurements, not only a thermal picture. Alarm rules can be based on temperature thresholds and changes within configured regions.
Can it be used for both fire detection and security?
Yes. The system combines radiometric thermal monitoring with visible verification and PTZ coverage. The final design, alarm logic and integrations should be engineered for the specific site and risk.
Which lens and frame rate should I choose?
The correct choice depends on target size, monitoring distance, required scene width and export regulations. GoThermal can specify the configuration from a site plan and operating requirements.
Does it replace a certified fire-detection or suppression system?
No. It is an early-warning and monitoring component. It should be integrated into a professionally designed fire-risk strategy and does not replace required certified detection, alarm or suppression systems.
