FLIR A50 Image Streaming Automation Thermal Camera
FLIR A50 Automation Thermal Camera with Image Streaming Configuration
An infrared-imaging automation camera with an image streaming configuration, the FLIR A50 Automation Thermal Camera is perfect for those who want camera control capabilities; image streaming over Ethernet; the flexibility to perform analytics; and raw data collection. Available with a selection of lenses and a range of optional extras.
Thermal Imaging
The FLIR A50 Image Streaming Automation Thermal Camera delivers detailed, low-noise thermal imaging with embedded temperature data. As such it has a 464 x 348px IR resolution, -20°C to +1000°C temperature range, and ±2°C/2% accuracy. Temperature linear mode and 16-bit image streaming allow temperature readings to be extracted from each pixel. When configured to include an optional visual camera, the FLIR A50 supports MSX imaging which overlays digital details onto thermal images making it easier for you to identify targets, it also supports compressed radiometric image streaming. Please contact our Sales Team for more details.
Image Streaming Configuration
FLIR’s image streaming configuration is ideal for those wanting to collect raw data but perform analytics using their own application. The image streaming configuration supports the following functions and features:
- GigE Vision
- GenICam
- Digital I/O
- Power over Ethernet (PoE)
- Motorised focus
- Built-in web interface
- Optional IP66-rated design
- Optional Wi-Fi
- Optional visual camera with MSX
Easy Integration
Offering trouble-free integration, the FLIR A50 is GigE Vision and GenICam compliant enabling camera control and thermal/visual image video streaming into third-party machine vision applications. An SNMP trap and advanced firewall protection allow multiple network devices to operate securely together. Additionally, the imager supports simple configuration via a standard web browser.
Optional Wi-Fi and ONVIF S compatibilities are also available; please contact our Sales Team for further details.
Rugged, Compact, & Easy to Install
Designed to withstand harsh environments (IP66-rated) and fitted with heavy-duty M8/12 connectors and supports multiple mounting options. It can be easily installed in a variety of challenging, dynamic settings.
Durable, small, and lightweight, the FLIR A50 Image Streaming Automation Thermal Camera is a flexible, reliable, fixed-focus, temperature-measuring automation camera perfect for optimising process and quality control; improving yield and through-put time; and lowering costs.
