The Avigilon H4 Thermal camera line provides exceptional detection and performance with the combination of thermal imaging and Avigilon's patented self-learning video analytics. Operating beyond the visible spectrum, the H4 Thermal camera line is designed to detect the movement of people and vehicles even in areas with poor visibility, challenging lighting conditions, absolute darkness and partly camouflaged objects. Through Avigilon self-learning video analytics, operators receive notification of detected activity that may require further investigation, helping them take decisive action when needed. 

"With our patented self-learning video analytics built in, our H4 Thermal camera line is designed to help our customers detect, verify and act on events in locations where environmental conditions are challenging," said Mahesh Saptharishi, Avigilon's Chief Technology Officer. "Expanding our product line with thermal imaging technology continues to broaden the range of Avigilon solutions available to meet our partners' and customers' needs."

The bullet-style, all-environment design is outdoor ready and well suited for a wide range of applications including critical infrastructure, transportation and government. The H4 Thermal camera line is expected to be available for order in the fourth quarter of this year.
