 Thermal-Eye™ 2400xp Advanced
The Thermal-Eye™ 2400xp Advanced is a dual sensor camera equipped with Gold Standard BST detector technology - the only technology that delivers true and absolute solar immunity, as well as uninterrupted video streaming for continuous, real-time imaging. This feature is critical to major security installations (either independent or coupled with intelligent video analytics) which cannot afford the slightest pause or disruption to surveillance efforts. Unlike other systems in it's class, the 2400xp Advanced uses a state-of-the-art Pan and Tilt gimbal-control system. Additional features of note include a wide operational temperature range, fast pan and tilt speeds, continuous 360 degree slip ring technology, Pelco-D communications, digital compass and symbology image text titling for camera network identification. The 2400xp Advanced allows viewing over one mile away. and is available in a fixed or pan-and-tilt configuration, the latter offering boasts an 80-degree per second pan speed and a 360-degree slip ring for full, uninterrupted perimeter surveillance. |

| Location of Communication Protocols |
| Observe that the communications protocols do not reside in the tube with the cameras, but in the command receiver environmental enclosure (fixed system) and carbide box (pan and tilt system). The 2400xp Advanced Fixed includes the environmental enclosure and the 6' cable from the Fixed Sensor Tube to the environmental enclosure. On a related note, the available "Titler" function allows unique Symbology to be displayed at a remote location (Command Center Display Screen) and identifies camera's unique address. |
| BST Lens Provides Solar Immunity: |
| When it comes to outdoor security and surveillance applications, it is difficult to avoid the possibility of the camera looking directly at the sun. Most cameras, are susceptible to solar damage and cannot handle focusing on a high intensity source. This is not the case with the 2400xp Advanced. It's BST lens is immune from solar damage and able to stare at the sun continuously without suffering damage. This solar immunity is unique to the L-3 Infrared Products 2400xp Advanced due to it's BST core. |
| BST GOLD STANDARD TECHNOLOGY: |
|  BST (Barium-Strontium Titanate) is a material that forms the basis of the technology that started the revolution in commercially-available thermal-imaging equipment. It was the first technology to be available and affordable for ordinary police cruisers, for firefighters in every city and town, and for everyday drivers of automobiles.
Despite the introduction of a plethora of thermal imaging sensors by a wide variety of manufacturers, BST technology has maintained a respectable market share because of its unique properties. It is the only AC-coupled sensor in production, and, as such, it exhibits very little of the spatial noise that compromises the performance of competing DC-coupled sensors. For that reason, customers and potential users are virtually unanimous in ranking its imagery as the best – the “Gold Standard” – to which all others are to be compared. While competitors may deride its performance in laboratory tests, users are well aware that it exceeds competing technologies in real-world sensitivity and dynamic range. This results from AC coupling as well as from the fact that it responds to temperature differences between each point in the scene and the local average of the temperature near that point. This enables, for example, a firefighter to see detail in a very hot fire while simultaneously seeing detail in another part of the scene that is close to normal room temperature.
BST technology also offers a robustness that is unmatched by any other available technology. BST systems use a chopper, whereas other technologies use a shutter – the difference being that a chopper operates continuously at very low torque, and a shutter operates only occasionally and at much higher torque. There is no substantial reliability or cost advantage of either. Using a chopper, however, greatly simplifies the design and operation of the system, especially when the detector is AC-coupled. It eliminates the large offset portion of the detector output, obviating the need to electronically process it; it reduces the range requirements of digitization circuitry; it permits continuous viewing without the scene-blocking occasionally caused by a shutter; it eliminates the memory and processing requirements of large calibration tables.
BST technology has served well for many years, and it remains the technology of choice when image quality of the utmost importance.
