In environments where the slightest lapse of attention could have major consequences, thermal imaging is a game-changer for tightening up security and reinforcing surveillance during the day and at night, whatever the weather conditions or visibility. With its infrared sensors and modules covering the entire spectrum (from SWIR to VLWIR), LYNRED offers reliable, robust and high-performance solutions geared towards the needs of public and private security operators, response forces and surveillance system integrators.
LYNRED has forged a solid reputation in this market through its 40-year legacy of expertise in developing infrared technologies. The company designs infrared detectors and modules for a variety of applications, including perimeter surveillance, sensitive site or infrastructure surveillance, intrusion detection, drone-mounted or vehicle-embedded systems, surveillance for engineered structures, and much more besides.
Its solutions deliver the precision, range and reliability needed to keep people safe and protect sensitive areas and infrastructure.
1. Segments in the Security & Surveillance market addressed by LYNRED
Drawing strength from its expertise in thermal imaging, LYNRED provides a complete collection of infrared detectors and modules specifically suited to the different needs of the security and surveillance market.
1.1. Long and very long-range surveillance – Fixed & Portable
For long-range surveillance requirements, especially in case of sprawling or hard-to-reach areas, LYNRED designs high-performance thermal detectors and modules for stationary and mobile systems.
These sensors and modules bring long-range observation and wide-angle vision capabilities, while enhancing detection, recognition and identification in various environments (critical infrastructure, borders, airports, ports, sensitive areas, etc.) during the day and at night in all weather conditions.
They are designed to provide superior image quality. With their robust design, they provide reliable performance in the harshest environments.
1.2. Mid-range surveillance – Fixed & Portable
LYNRED supplies thermal sensors and modules for mid-range infrared surveillance systems, whether used for detection or recognition purposes.
These sensors are built into stationary cameras for surveilling perimeter fences or industrial sites, and they are also incorporated into mobile devices for response forces and field operatives (inspecting coverings and roofs, engineered structures and infrastructure such as dams and cable-stayed bridges, as well as high-voltage powerlines and solar farms).
Urban surveillance is another priority that LYNRED's thermal sensors and modules are perfectly capable of addressing, including road traffic management, and city surveillance operations by law enforcement and customs authorities.
The products developed by LYNRED meet the requirements for low power draw, compact designs and image quality, which ensures easier integration into the end systems.
1.3. Unmanned vehicle systems
Finally, LYNRED offers infrared detectors and modules designed for incorporation into unmanned ground, aerial and surface vehicles used for autonomous surveillance operations.
Thermal imaging represents a technological breakthrough for seeing, detecting and targeting, as well as locating and measuring.
Thermal imaging detectors offering augmented performance can be incorporated into these solutions for improved accessibility and effectiveness, while delivering reliable and accurate detection capabilities.
In situations where mobility is a top priority, such as performing temporary surveillance, inspecting areas from a distance, or monitoring operations, sensors can be embedded in:
- Surveillance drones
- Patrol vehicles
- Handheld cameras used by law enforcement officers
With their ability to meet SWaP criteria (Size, Weight and Power), they can easily be integrated into remote-controlled mobile platforms. They also offer the necessary thermal sensitivity for producing images that can be used in real time, even while the device is in motion.
2. Specific technical requirements & performance criteria for surveillance applications
2.1. Detection, recognition and identification (DRI): performance levels tailored to each case
The sensors and modules from LYNRED are designed to meet the three essential levels of analysis for security applications:
- Detection: spot a thermal presence from a distance, even in darkness or poor weather conditions (low light levels or fog).
- Recognition: characterize the silhouette or detected object.
- Identification: accurately distinguish an individual, vehicle or situation.
Depending on requirements, detectors cover surveillance distances from mid-range to very long-range for stationary and mobile systems.
2.2. 24/7 vision whatever the conditions
Passive infrared imaging does not require an external light source, since it can capture the thermal radiation naturally emitted by bodies and objects. This ensures optimal performance:
- During the day and at night,
- In smoke or fog,
- Outdoors and in enclosed or confined areas
Their ability to operate in extreme conditions means that LYNRED's sensors and modules are the ideal solution for surveillance activities and autonomous detection systems.
2.3. Various image formats and resolutions
LYNRED offers an extended range of formats, from QVGA to SXGA, to meet the specific resolution requirements for each application:
- Compact formats for handheld cameras or embedded systems
- High resolutions for stationary mid-range and long-range surveillance systems
Pixel pitches, thermal sensitivity (NETD), acquisition frequency and optical compatibility are also optimized to suit the requirements of each integrator.
2.4. Low power draw and easy integration
Modern-day applications (drones, handheld cameras) require compact sensors that use very little energy and offer proven mechanical reliability.
LYNRED's infrared detectors and modules are especially capable of satisfying these requirements, while guaranteeing robust and constant thermal image quality.
3. LYNRED's solutions & detectors for security & surveillance
LYNRED markets a full range of infrared detectors and modules to meet the needs expressed by security and surveillance solutions integrators, whether intended for stationary, mobile or embedded systems. These detectors cover the entire infrared spectrum, from SWIR to VLWIR, and are available in different formats, pixel pitches and resolutions to specifically meet operational requirements out in the field.
Two new solutions have been added to the LYNRED product lineup:
- Cooled detectors on the PlugUp platform:this new platform allows integrators to develop a single design that can accommodate different products for multi-use applications
- Advanced thermal imaging (ATI) modules
Whether developed with the cooled or microbolometer technology, LYNRED's detectors and modules are designed to scale down development costs and accelerate the time to market.
