Infrared market has reached 50 billion U.S. dollars unlimited future potential.

Infrared <P> now how much the market in the end, no one can expect, I firmly believe that this market will take a longer period of time continued to grow. .Every year we see more and more people continue to find new thermal imager applications, on the other hand, the price of thermal imager is decreasing every year, from the price of these new products, new applications .possible! .Infrared global markets have now reached 50 billion U.S. dollars in the next three to four years, if the thermal imaging market has doubled over the world to double again by 2016, which is in no way surprising things. .For the thermal imaging manufacturers, also need to work together develop the market, so that customers understand the benefits of infrared thermal imaging device, through the full range of solutions to expand to meet customer demand. .</ P> <P> some customers on what is "Infrared" perplexed that such a product similar to the laser lighting device, or "active lighting device." .In fact, infrared thermal imager is a completely different technology. .For example, the active detection range of luminaires limited to 100 m -200 m, while the detection of infrared thermal imaging device can detect the distance from 400 m to 20 km distance range. .</ P> <P> most on the market today with the ordinary thermal imaging polysilicon detectors, this technology has been 20 years old. .In comparison, vanadium oxide detector is a new product, is the world's most sensitive detectors. .The sensitivity of this material commonly used in uncooled detector than 3 times higher, the temperature difference can be detected 30mk. .In practical applications, infrared thermal imaging products to play an irreplaceable role in two: the threat against intruders and theft of natural resources. .</ P> <P> probe threat (against intruders) </ P> <P> most people think of thermal imaging technology is no less than the perimeter security fence or hiring cheaper, more efficient, it is not. .Perimeter security technology can be cheaper than other "hot like a fence." .</ P> <P> general perimeter border of the "technology" includes traditional electronic fence, RAFID sensor cable, traditional CCTV cameras and infrared active illumination (also called near-infrared camera). .Combination of these products than the price of higher cost thermal imager. .For example, one including the sensor cable, electronic fences, civil engineering and security personnel salaries total cost of the security may be in the $ 100,000 dollars. .CCTV cameras and infrared illuminators require costly annual maintenance fees, expenses and cost of electric energy consumption. .Civil engineering and electronic fences need constant maintenance; the thermal imager is no such problem, do not need such a high energy, human resource consumption, maintenance costs low. .A CCD camera and infrared imaging system, including the design of sophisticated security system than just using the CCD camera security system earlier, faster detection of threats, and can be in the mist, smoke and complete darkness in the work .. .</ P> <P> security (protection of natural resources) </ P> <P> every year due to theft of natural resources (including oil, metals, electronic products, etc.) which led to huge losses, the threat posed by terrorism, .illegal immigration, unauthorized access or intentional acts of vandalism is intensified, especially for the destruction of historic buildings and theft losses are priceless, but more security monitoring system in the smoke or the whole day and night under the dark .monitoring. .</ P> <P> and the unique benefits of thermal imaging for security so that system integrators and installers to meet the user needs to provide a new "comprehensive solution." .For example, in the petrochemical field, thermal imaging devices and image motion detection software, based on TCP / IP network, for the petrochemical plants to provide prevention and intrusion detection "hot like a fence." .Now, many security companies to thermal imaging devices and supporting the use of various software, such as video motion detection, video tracking, hard disk recorders and video analysis software, leading to higher value and more benefits for end users to provide more comprehensive .The security solution! .</ P> <P> infrared thermal imaging products in the world, including China have great potential. .</ P> <P> FLIR company began selling in 1965, thermal imaging devices, has been operating in China more than 10 years, witnessed the infrared thermal imaging market from scratch, from small to large development process. .</ P> <P> in the Chinese market, the monthly sales of the "Near Infrared" or "active infrared" cameras more than a million units, can be said that China is the world's largest security market. .When the price of infrared thermal imaging cameras with active illumination comparable prices, the Chinese market demand for infrared thermal imaging devices will grow significantly. .FLIR also been observed, the Chinese customer awareness and use of new technologies have a strong ability to accept, and other customers in the region, the Chinese customers faster and more thorough grasp of advanced security technology benefits. .</ P> <P> situation from the existing applications, infrared thermal imaging market, the most popular application areas including airports, customs, prisons, railway stations, monitoring, and vehicle driving assistance. .For example, the infrared camera in the train station and railway tunnels to detect potential intruders, early detection of intruders and potential criminals. .And as a large factory, a vast geographical company, all the important historical sites and the majority of schools and residential areas, which have infrared thermal imaging needs. .</ P> <P> application is now a popular border security, such as preventing illegal immigration, drug trafficking and other dangerous threats. .More and more countries realize that the border line can prevent the protection of national interests well. .The industry continued to increase as governments budget continued to grow. .</ P> <P> In addition, the infrared camera's unique value lies in early detection of people carrying the virus, thus saving the government millions of individuals for medical expenses. .FLIR's thermal imagers are being used in airports, ports of entry and customs, not with the naked eye to detect the virus, such as the H1N1 influenza virus. .</ P> <P> </ P> <P> </ P> <P> </ P>.
