FLIR A50 Fixed-Mount Automation Thermal Camera
Suitable for condition monitoring and early fire detection, the FLIR A50 Automation Thermal Camera is an infrared-imaging automation camera with an advanced smart sensor configuration, (other configurations are available) built-in analytics, and onboard alarms. It is available with a selection of lenses as well as a range of optional extras.
Thermal Imaging
The FLIR A50 delivers detailed, low-noise thermal imaging with integrated temperature data. To this end, it offers an IR resolution of 464 x 348px and can measure temperatures between -20°C and +1000°C to an accuracy of ±2°C/2%. Advanced smart sensor configuration enables exact temperature data to be extracted from each pixel using FLIR’s Atlas SDK. Furthermore, the A50 supports MSX imaging when it is configured to include an optional built-in visual camera. This feature overlays digital details onto thermal images, improving scene sharpness. Please contact our Sales Team for further details.
