Details
Dual-Spectrum Thermal & Visible Imaging Architecture
TPC-BF1241-S2 is a thermal network mini hybrid bullet camera designed for perimeter protection, heat monitoring, and intelligent video surveillance. It combines a 256 × 192 vanadium oxide uncooled focal plane detector with a 4 MP progressive-scan CMOS visible channel, allowing operators to review both thermal information and visible scene details from one compact camera.
Optical Lens Configurations & Wireless Options
The product family provides selectable lens configurations for different monitoring distances and scene layouts. Depending on the model variant, the thermal lens is available in 3.5 mm, 7 mm, or 10 mm, while the visible-light lens is available in 4 mm, 8 mm, or 12 mm. Wi-Fi is available on designated model variants only and should be selected according to the ordering model.
Intelligent Video Analytics & Multi-Spectrum Fusion
For intelligent monitoring, the camera supports heat detection, tripwire, intrusion, cold and hot spot tracing, human and vehicle classification, smoking detection, and call detection. Thermal and visible channels can be fused using three image fusion modes, while 18 color palettes help operators review thermal scenes in different visual presentations.
Hardware Deployment, Active Deterrence & Environmental Ingress
With PoE and 12 VDC ±20% power options, built-in white light and audio alarms, Micro SD storage support up to 256 GB, and IP67 protection, TPC-BF1241-S2 is suited to factories, parking areas, villas, perimeter zones, and other small to medium monitoring scenes.
