JideTech LC012 15km Forest Fire Detection Thermal PTZ Camera
The JideTech LC012-52X-4MP-TH is a heavy-duty dual-spectrum thermal PTZ camera designed for forest fire detection, wildfire early warning, intelligent hotspot detection, smoke recognition, and unattended wide-area monitoring. It integrates a 640×512 thermal imaging sensor, a 4MP visible-light camera, and 52X optical zoom to detect thermal risks and verify field conditions from long distance.
For project deployment, LC012 can work with an intelligent monitoring platform covering video monitoring, temperature analysis, event recognition, electronic map display, alarm management, historical playback, and platform-level user management. It is suitable for forests, mountains, nature reserves, power-line corridors, mining areas, petrochemical sites, border zones, coastal areas, airports, and other large outdoor sites.
Built for Forest Fire Early Warning and Wildfire Prevention Projects
Forest fires usually start from small heat sources, smoke, abnormal heating, or early-stage flames that are difficult to confirm with conventional visible-light cameras alone. LC012 uses thermal imaging, visible-light verification, and intelligent analysis to identify abnormal thermal events earlier and reduce the need for continuous manual watching.
The system is designed for 24/7 outdoor monitoring. Thermal imaging helps detect heat anomalies without depending on visible light, while the visible camera provides high-definition verification of smoke, fire, terrain, roads, and surrounding conditions.

Temperature Analysis and Alarm Functions
LC012 supports non-contact thermal monitoring for fire prevention and industrial safety applications. To keep the product description accurate, the temperature accuracy listed in the technical table should be used as the final specification for this model.
Point, Line and Area Temperature Monitoring
Users can configure multiple point, line, and area temperature zones in the thermal image to monitor temperature status across key regions.
- Point temperature monitoring
- Line temperature monitoring
- Area temperature monitoring
- Multi-zone thermal analysis
Independent Temperature Sub-Zones
Multiple independent analysis zones can be created within the same thermal image, with separate alarm thresholds, sensitivity, and monitoring parameters.
- Independent thermal analysis areas
- Separate threshold settings
- Separate alarm values
- Zone-based data reports
Over-Temperature Alarm
Operators can set temperature thresholds for selected monitoring areas. When the temperature exceeds the threshold, the system can trigger an alarm for response.
Fire Risk Early Warning
The system can detect abnormal heating and small fire-risk signals, helping users respond before a fire spreads.
Fire Event Recognition and Alarm Reduction
The forest fire detection system is designed to identify fire risks and reduce unnecessary alarms. This is important in outdoor scenes where sunlight reflection, static heat sources, vehicles, moving objects, and environmental interference can affect alarm accuracy.
Thermal camera detects abnormal heat or smoke-related events.
Masking and delayed alarm logic reduce interference.
Visible-light video confirms smoke, flames, and site details.
Electronic map marks the event location.
Operators review alarms, playback video, and export reports.
Analyzes thermal data to detect small heat sources in the early stage and trigger alerts before the situation expands.
Filters most interference sources through intelligent masking, delayed alarm settings, image features, and temperature distribution analysis.
Automatically removes duplicate alarms for the same event to reduce redundant information and operator workload.
Electronic Map for Forest Fire Command Centers
For forest fire prevention projects, electronic map functions help teams understand terrain, device locations, alarm positions, coverage range, and response routes. This makes the system more practical for command centers and multi-site deployments.
Alarm events can be marked on the map with location coordinates for fast response.
Supports terrain, roads, sites, resources, distance measurement, path planning, area calculation, and map markers.
Displays longitude, latitude, altitude, and selected location information for forest and mountain monitoring.
Users can set a start point and destination on the map to generate a navigation path for field response.
When a station triggers an alarm, the heat-source event can be displayed on the electronic map.
Site altitude, coordinates, installation height, and coverage range can be used to simulate monitored areas on the map.
Platform Management and System Integration
