Fitted with an advanced smart sensor configuration, edge computing, and an Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT), the FLIR A700 Advanced Smart Sensor Automation Thermal Camera is an infrared-imaging automation camera ideal for complex remote monitoring, alarming, and analytics objectives. It is available with a selection of lenses and a range of optional extras.
The FLIR A700 Advanced Smart Sensor Automation Thermal Camera delivers advanced thermal imaging. To this end, it offers a 640 x 480px IR resolution. It also features a precision motorised focus which ensures consistent, accurate temperature readings of both near and far away objects. Temperatures between -20°C and 2000°C can be measured to an accuracy of ±2°C/2%. It is perfect for monitoring critical infrastructure, assessing product quality, and detecting overheating components. It can even be used to identify elevated skin temperature alongside other temperature screening tools.
FLIR’s advanced smart sensor configuration is perfect for those who require built-in analytics. Cameras with this configuration allow you to transfer complete, actional results to your own system. The advanced smart sensor configuration supports the following functions and features:
The FLIR A700’s advanced smart sensor configuration equips it with a range of useful alarm and analytical features:
Unrivalled network connectivity and built-in computing options provide seamless integration into new and existing networks. It may be integrated into REST API over XML or JSON web systems. Furthermore, onboard Wi-Fi (optional), Modbus TCP, and Ethernet/IP simplify integration into HMI/SCADA systems and the Modbus TCP Master also enables integration into analogue and digital industrial systems as it offers superior I/O control. Finally, an MQTT protocol ensures the A700 is ready for digitisation.
A reliable, flexible, powerful temperature-measuring automation camera, the FLIR A700 Advanced Smart Sensor Automation Thermal Camera is suitable for a range of complex analytical/alarm applications.
