Thermal security camera with long-range, high-resolution surveillance capability

The FLIR Ranger III thermal security camera provides TV-quality thermal video for long-range, 24/7 video security applications. It is flexible enough to provide wide area coverage and long-range, high magnification performance. The Ranger III has three optical configurations to choose from: the LR 50x250mm, the XR 100x500mm, and the XR+ 150x750mm. Security operators can field the Ranger III as a portable stand-alone camera, or integrate it into a suite of plug-and-play sensors.

High-performance, long-range thermal security
50x25 0mm, 100x500mm, and 150x750mm telescopes available

See more, See farther

Ranger III’s high-resolution imaging capability lets operators see more detail from farther away

Maximum Detail

With FLIR’s Ranger III thermal security camera, you’ll see more detail from greater distances than ever before. Ranger III’s 639x489 detector creates crisp, high-resolution thermal video, putting more pixels on target for extreme image detail at unbelievably long ranges.

Maximum Range

The FLIR Ranger III comes with a choice of three long-range telescopes: 50x250mm, 100x500 and 150x750mm. In addition to their 5:1 optical zoom ratio, both models have 2:1 & 4:1 digital zoom, giving you the ability to reach out to targets far beyond the capability of any other thermal security camera in its class.

Ranger III - The best from the ground up

Not all long-range thermal security cameras are created equal. There are lots of factors that impact a thermal camera’s ultimate range performance. Is the detector a high resolution 640x480 array or medium resolution 320x240 array? How big are the pixels? What is the focal length of the telescope?

Were the detector and telescope designed to work together from day one, or are they unmatched assemblies from different vendors? Does the thermal camera offer FLIR’s patent pending Digital Detail Enhancement? Does the thermal camera provide automatic focus and image adjustment? The Ranger III answers all of these questions to ensure maximum range performance.

FLIR Systems designed and produced the Ranger III’s thermal detector. It’s high-resolution 640x480 format has 4-times the picture clarity of cameras that use medium format 320x240 detectors.
The Ranger III high sensitivity detector pixels are 15µm in size. What does this mean to you? You can see more detail with Ranger III than with cameras that use detectors with larger pixels.
The Ranger III has built-in Digital Detail Enhancement (DDE) video optimization algorithms. DDE is a proprietary FLIR technology that brings out unmatched image detail.
Longer focal length lenses produce greater magnification, but just having a long telescope isn’t enough – the lens and detector package must be designed and optimized to work together. FLIR Systems is uniquely capable of these complex tasks, as we design and manufacture all of the critical components in the imaging system: detector – cooler – video processing - lenses.

FLIR designed the Ranger III from the ground up so that all of its critical components work together towards one goal: making Ranger III the best long-range thermal security camera around.

Seeing more than ever before

Beyond the capabilities of linear auto gain/level controls and even non-linear histogram equalization, DDE automatically provides system operators with buried image details without sacrificing image quality. The image on the right has DDE on.

Applications for the Ranger III

Thermal security cameras compliment and complete your existing security network – you won’t believe what you haven’t been seeing

Border security

Thermal security cameras cover more territory with greater detail than any other sensor suite available. Networkable video and control make the Ranger III the perfect border security imaging solution.

Perimeter Security

Airports, hydropower generation, refineries, chemical plants, and other large facilities have perimeters that can encompass miles of real estate. Ranger III’s 24/7 multi-sensor network-ready coverage provides the ultimate security solution.

Long-range Detection

Thermal energy travels through many atmospheric obscurants better than visible light. Through smoke, dust, even light fog, thermal security cameras are ideal for detecting activity at extreme ranges.

A New Vision

Digital Detail Enhancement (DDE) is FLIR’s proprietary image optimization algorithm that releases scene details normally hidden from view. Objects of interest are often lost in scenes with large contrasts in temperature. DDE brings them out, displaying them automatically with corrections no human operator could make. The image on the right has DDE on.

5:1 Optical Zoom

Each model of Ranger III offers 5:1 zoom, plus 2:1 and 4:1 e-zoom for a combination of situational awareness and outstanding range – night and day, in good weather and bad.

The Johnson Criteria assumes that the critical dimension for a human being is 0.75 meters. To get DRI, you need 1.5 pixels, 6 pixels and 12 pixels across 0.75 meters in the object pane. That means:

	Detection
	1.5 pixels / 0.75m = 2 pixels per meter

	Recognition
	6 pixels / 0.75m = 8 pixels per meter

	Identification
	12 pixels / 0.75m = 16 pixels per meter

Assuming that a man is 1.83m by 0.5m, the following would apply:

Detection

is there)

Recognition

13 pixels by 5 pixels
(You can see that a
person is there)

Identification

28.8 pixels by 8 pixels
