HeatPro - Hikvision thermal imaging cameras
2023-02-01
Hikvision has a modern monitoring solution for users. The new series of HeatPro thermal imaging cameras allows for even more effective video monitoring and faster detection. Accuracy, sensitivity and the use of intelligent technologies guarantee that no intruder will pass unnoticed through the supervised area.
Firma Hikvision has been creating professional security solutions for the mass market for years. HeatPro is the next step in innovation. The modern cameras belonging to this series provide perimeter protection with unparalleled accuracy and very fast detection of fires and temperature changes.
HeatPro camera capabilities
Thermal imaging cameras are equipped with video analytics that cope perfectly in all weather and lighting conditions, thanks to the use of artificial intelligence and its deep learning, the so-called Deep Learning. Immediate detection of fire sources and intruders allows you to reduce losses to a minimum. Investing in thermal imaging devices means safety and savings in the future. These devices are invaluable support for fire protection of each facility.
Thermal imaging cameras can be used in the monitoring of single-family houses, housing estates, office buildings, construction sites, warehouses and industrial plants.
Video recording in difficult conditions
Thermal imaging cameras practically in real time detect the temperature (heat radiation) of an object appearing in the frame. They record the image 24/7 regardless of environmental conditions such as darkness, poor visibility, blinding light from headlights, etc.
Detailed detection
Thanks to thermal cameras, users can easily locate objects and potential threats that traditional IP cameras cannot see. Thermal imaging cameras do not emit visible light, making them virtually unnoticeable and easy to conceal.
Target identification with Deep Learning
Deep Learning algorithms built into the cameras accurately identify people and vehicles, even when objects overlap in the frame or are in conditions that make detection difficult. Focusing on specific, critical targets greatly increases the accuracy of alerts.
Thermal Imaging Cameras – threat detection
- Non-contact temperature measurement
- Colour temperature visualization
- Early target detection and warning
- Smart measurement using AI algorithms
Temperature measurement using a thermal imaging camera is definitely more effective and efficient than visual detection alone. Early detection and warning of danger enables immediate response. Monitoring of temperature changes can be synchronized with triggering alarms when detected. The user can freely set the rules for triggering alarms on the stage. Define the detection area, create virtual lines, define the activation of the alarm when temperature is detected (high, low, temperature difference).
When choosing a thermal imaging camera, it is worth paying attention to its resolution. The manufacturer Hikvision offers 160×120 px and 256×192 px cameras. Noticeable differences between the two device models are the speed of detecting the temperature source (difference of a few seconds) and the range of object detection.
The thermal imaging camera captures the scene using hybrid technology that combines the image in two bands. The thermal image is primarily used to detect an object immediately, not to identify it. A traditional optical image is used to recognize a localized target. Such a system ensures virtually maximum efficiency of thermal imaging monitoring.
The Thermal Design Tool application works with the HeatPro series thermal imaging cameras, which allows, among others, to select the camera lens and program the monitoring scenario.
Of course, the user of Hikvision products can also easily configure them using solutions such as HikCentral, iVMS-4200 or Hik-Connect.
As for installation tips , the recommended mounting height for the camera is 2.5 to 4.5 meters. However, the angle of inclination should be less than 45°.

Thermal Imaging Cameras – basic operating principles
Any object with a temperature higher than absolute zero (0 K) emits a detectable amount of infrared radiation (the higher the temperature of the object, the more radiation it emits).
Thermal imaging cameras detect this type of radiation that is invisible to the human eye. Once detected, they generate images based on temperature differences, allowing objects to be detected without the need for visible light.
Precise temperature measurement is possible thanks to the transducer used in Hikvision thermal imaging products, which offers excellent detection stability and high accuracy ±2° C or ±2% (whichever is greater). In addition, the devices have functions such as spot or linear temperature measurement, or the ability to choose rules for different scenarios. The goal is to achieve the greatest detection accuracy possible. Thermal imaging cameras using intelligent algorithms significantly reduce the number of false alarms caused by, for example, animals, camera vibrations, leaves or other irrelevant objects.
The devices use deep learning-based dynamic detection of fire (fire) sources based on Hikvision security big data. They contain over 100,000 samples of global climate information. The end device has the ability to detect fire based on raw data by analyzing frame by frame and immediately triggering an alarm.
Dynamic technological progress in the field of thermal imaging solutions allows you to reduce product prices and quickly adapt their functions to be used in many industries. Thermal imaging cameras are now widely available. We observe the expansion of thermal imaging and its wide-scale use, for example in the army, law enforcement agencies, border guards, in forest and agricultural areas, as well as in landfills to prevent fires.
Hikvision also offers a range of handheld smart thermographic products. They are implemented in industry for remote temperature measurement, in driver assistance systems, medical services or as peripherals for drones and smartphones. In some industries, thermal imaging solutions are a source of groundbreaking innovation.
