JideTech LC012 PLUS Forest Fire Detection Thermal PTZ Camera
The JideTech LC012 PLUS is a heavy-duty forest fire detection thermal PTZ camera designed for long-range wildfire monitoring, fire source detection, smoke recognition, and 24/7 unattended outdoor surveillance.
With 384×288 thermal imaging, a 2MP HD visible-light camera, 52X optical zoom, optional 50mm or 75mm thermal lens, and a 3km laser illuminator, the LC012 PLUS helps operators detect abnormal heat sources, fire risks, smoke, and perimeter intrusion across large forest areas and remote outdoor sites.
Built for Forest Fire Prevention and Wildfire Early Warning
Forest fire monitoring requires long-distance detection, all-weather operation, and reliable automatic alerts. The LC012 PLUS combines thermal imaging and visible-light zoom in one heavy-duty PTZ platform, allowing users to monitor forests, mountain areas, power-line corridors, border zones, and other high-risk outdoor locations without relying on external lighting.
- Up to 10km fire source detection with the 75mm thermal lens
- Thermal imaging + HD visible light for day and night monitoring
- Smoke recognition and fire warning for early risk detection
- Over-temperature alarm with configurable temperature threshold
- Multi-target heat source detection for multiple thermal targets
- Heat source tracking for abnormal thermal events
- 360° automatic cruise monitoring for wide-area surveillance
- IP66 weatherproof housing for harsh outdoor environments
