ACH20-1B Thermal Monocular Camera: Frequently Asked Questions

The following FAQ answers many of the general questions about your thermal monocular camera.

.

How does my thermal monocular camera work?

To improve the visibility of objects in complete darkness, haze, or tough conditions, your thermal monocular camera uses infrared sensors to detect heat given off by a person, animal, or other objects. It creates images of that radiation called thermograms, which display the relative temperatures of different objects with different shades or colors. In a thermogram, warm objects stand out in a contrast or often cooler background. It is widely used in outdoor scenarios for hunting, rescue, animal observation, and more.

Is my thermal monocular camera battery-operated or hard wired?

Your thermal monocular camera is battery-operated, however, to charge the battery you will need to connect the micro-USB cable into your camera’s USB port and the other end into a power source.

Does my thermal camera only work at night?

No. Although thermal imaging cameras are most commonly used for nighttime vision, they can also be useful in daylight. The detection of heat radiation and the high contrast of thermal imaging cameras allow you to see the outlines of (warm-blooded) animals that camouflage well in their environments. It can also help distinguish animals or people in foggy or smoky conditions.

Can my thermal camera see-through walls, metal, or glass?

No, thermal imaging cameras do not see-through surface but detect surface temperatures.

Is thermal imaging and night vision the same thing?

No, thermal imaging can produce pictures without visible light while night vision cameras work by boosting ambient light. Their only common purpose is increasing visibility in low light conditions.

Can bright sunlight damage my camera’s lens?

Yes, aiming your camera’s lens with the lens cap open at powerful light sources (i.e. the sun) is not recommended, as this may adversely affect the accuracy or damage the thermal imager.

What is the clicking noise my camera makes?

This is simply the noise your camera makes while you are shifting it between different fields of view. The noise you are hearing is your camera focusing and calibrating the image to achieve the highest resolution possible.

Learn About Active Deterrent Security Cameras

What Are Active Deterrent Security Cameras?

Active deterrent security cameras aren’t your typical security devices. They integrate advanced technology to proactively prevent criminal activities. Key features include built-in lights, sirens, sounds, and two-way audio.

The Importance of Active Deterrent Security Cameras

You might be wondering, why go the extra mile with these advanced features? Well, the answer is simple: prevention is better than cure. These cameras are designed not just to record incidents but to prevent them altogether.

Crime Prevention

A well-placed security camera can make all the difference. Thieves and intruders are less likely to target a property laden with visible deterrents.

Enhanced Safety

Knowing that your premises are being actively monitored can make you feel safer. Immediate alerts and real-time communication add an extra layer of safety.

Peace of Mind

There’s nothing like the peace of mind that comes from knowing your loved ones and valuables are secure. Active deterrent cameras provide a constant layer of security, ensuring you sleep a little easier at night.

Key Components of Active Deterrent Security Cameras

SIREN AND SPOTLIGHT

Active Deterrence security cameras can activate a loud siren with flashing light or spotlight when motion is activated to deter any potential threats. The light and sound features can be easily customized to meet your specific needs. These cameras are equipped with both traditional infrared night vision and LED spotlight mode for full color images at night when desired. Further, you can set the motion detection to trigger only when humans and/or vehicles are detected to produce the most accurate motion alerts.

Lights

These cameras often come with powerful LED lights that can illuminate large areas. Imagine being able to light up your entire driveway or backyard!

Siren

An ear-piercing siren can scare off even the most determined criminals. As soon as suspicious activity is detected, the siren can be activated to alert both you and the intruder.

Two-Way Audio: A Game-Changer

Two-way audio allows you to communicate in real-time through your security camera system. This feature enhances the effectiveness of the camera by enabling you to interact directly with whoever is on your property.

All our active deterrence security cameras have a built-in microphone and speaker for 2-way audio functionality from your smartphone using our mobile app. The 2-way audio feature provides an extra layer of security by enabling real-time, remote communication with individuals near the security camera. The 2-way audio feature can be used in many different scenarios.

Benefits of Having Two-Way Audio

Advantages of Lights in Security Cameras

Deterrence Effect

A bright light shining in the face of a potential intruder can be incredibly disorienting and threatening. It’s a simple but effective means of deterring unwanted visitors.

Visibility in Low-Light Conditions

If criminals think they can hide under the cover of darkness, security lights will make them think twice. These lights ensure your cameras capture clear footage, no matter the time of day.

Advantages of Sirens in Security Cameras

Immediate Alert

Imagine hearing a siren blaring in the middle of the night because someone tried to break into your home. That’s an alert you can’t ignore!

Deterrence to Intruders

The sound of a siren is universally understood as a signal to leave immediately. It’s a powerful tool that can send intruders running before they do any damage.

Advantages of Sound in Security Cameras

How Two-Way Audio Enhances Security

Real-Time Communication

Two-way audio adds a dynamic layer to home security. You’re not just watching; you’re interacting.

Interactive Deterrence

Being able to speak directly to someone on your property – whether friend or foe – provides a significant deterrent effect. Just imagine telling a suspicious individual that the police are on their way!

Installation and Setup

Easy Installation Tips

Setting up these cameras is straightforward. Most models come with comprehensive guides, and you can have them up and running in no time.

Choosing Strategic Locations

Placement is key. You want to cover all entry points and any other areas that could be potential targets.

How to set up motion detection and alerts on a Hikvision NVR

What is Motion Detection and why is it useful?​

Motion detection is one of the easiest events to set up and will notify you as soon as a person or vehicle enters a predefined detection zone in your scene.
