The M5 thermal Border Security Camera mounted on a Hummer
The M5 SRTI / MRTI Short Range / Medium Range PTZ Thermal Border Security Camera is a true multi sensor imaging platform. Featuring a high resolution wide angle field of view thermal imager with digital zoom and color thermal imaging mated to a high quality CCTV visual imaging camera with ultra long range zoom and auto focus. The dual visual / thermal sensors are co-mounted and aligned on a single Pan Tilt base capable of + – 90 degree tilt and 360 degree CONTINUOUS rotation. The system responds to standard PELCO-D commands and can be programmed to auto scan and perform remote tours. With its wide field of view the M5 SRTI is ideally suited as a Drivers Vision Enhancement System ( DVE ) or as a surveillance tool for checkpoints or small enclosed areas where a WFOV and short range imaging are required. No other system can provide the durability, feature set and affordable price of the M5 Thermal PTZ systems.

Advanced Multi Sensor Pan Tilt Zoom Thermal Border Security Camera
The enemy is real. The night is dark. The job is critical. Get the right border security camera to get it done!
The future is here now and its more affordable than you think. In today’s uncertain times of world conflict, it has become more important than ever for the good guys to own the night. Traditional pan tilt zoom thermal imaging platforms have long suffered from two majors drawbacks, price and size. For years these multi sensor pan tilt imaging border security camera systems have been monstrous contraptions sometimes standing over two feet tall and weighing in at 100 pounds plus. The support gear required to safely mount and position these units made them extremely unpractical for all but the most extreme of applications. In addition, these big fellas had price tags that could range from a minimum of $35,000 to as high as $750,000 further limiting there use to exotic applications. unfortunately, this set of circumstances meant that a great many agencies that truly need this capability had no hope of ever procuring this expensive and cumbersome technology. The M5 thermal pan tilt zoom system represents a breakthrough in innovative design philosophy that now makes thermal pan tilt zoom systems smaller, lighter and much less expensive. By utilizing COTS components and leveraging existing technologies the M5 can deliver comparable performance at a small fraction of the cost and size of traditional pan tilt systems. A wide range of options and industry standard control protocols further extend the M5’s capabilities. The choice is clear for any professional involved in night time operations- the M5 is your tool of choice.
The M5 SRTI thermal border security camera Wide Field of View thermal border security camera is suitable for use on buildings and checkpoints, vehicle operations and marine vessel scenarios. When your mission profile demands rugged, wide field of view thermal imaging the M5 SRTI delivers.

M5 SRTI Thermal Border Security Camera Features
The M5 SRTI thermal border security camera utilizes FPA uncooled microbolometer thermal imaging sensors with a thermal resolution starting at 76,800 pixels which is a whopping 4 times the typical resolution of so called “affordable” thermal pan tilt units that use sub standard 160×120 pixel cameras. Can you really “afford” to lose pixel resolution when imaging performance is required? If your application demands the very finest thermal imaging sensor resolution possible then we have an ULTRA HD thermal sensor option for the M5 SRTI that will blow you away with a super large format thermal sensor of 307,200 pixels.
NEW: M5v4 Advanced Multi sensor long range PTZ thermal imaging flir camera overview
The M5 SRTI thermal border security camera is a true Day Night imaging system. The M5 does not skimp on daytime performance and all M5 units feature a razor sharp long range zoom CCTV camera component. The CCTV camera sub-system features an amazing 432x total zoom capability! This is made up of 36x optical zoom power coupled to 12x digital zoom capability. The daytime camera can reach out and touch the target in any M5 system. The M5 thermal sensor can be coupled to a variety of precision engineered long range thermal germanium optics and digital zoom configurations.
If there is one thing certain about threats its that they can come from any direction and usually move. To truly be secure you must have complete situational awareness and that demands that you can track targets of interest no matter how they move around your position. If you have a thermal ptz system that can only rotate 380 degrees and then has to go all the way back the other way you have a serious blind spot. Unfortunately, many systems costing several times as much as the M5 are configured in just such a way. The M5 SRTI thermal border security camera leverages the power of an advanced slip ring technology so that the M5 SRTI can spin continuously in either direction. With the M5 SRTI the technical limitations of your hardware will never cause you to take your eyes off the target. The M5 has your back, and your front, and any other direction you want to point!
The M5 SRTI is equipped with the thermal infrared imaging features demanded by your specific mission profiles. The M5 SRTI is not overburdened with useless features that only overload users. The SRTI M5 short range thermal imager has just what you need including:
- Auto image exposure so that the operator is not wasting time and attention on image adjustments.
- Thermal Digi-Zoom to aid in distant viewing.
- HD High Definition Zoom 1080 P Daytime/low light camera offer exceptional continuous optical and digital zoom distant target detection, recognition and identification
- Target color thermal imaging helps the user discriminate targets in the scene.
- High resolution EOIR sensors and high quality germanium optics for clarity and precision in a Thermal FLIR Camera system.
The sensor technology of the M5 SRTI is matched by an intelligent pan tilt positioning system that is easily configured to match the needs of your specific mission criteria. The M5 SRTI has 128 preset points and can be taught to scan between two points while setting speed, direction and dwell. You can also set up to 6 scanning paths with each path containing up to 16 pre-set points. The M5 SRTI has the sophistication to auto scan your area of interest for you. For example you could set the M5 SRTI to Pan/Tilt to the entrance gate, zoom in and hold for 5 seconds. Next the M5 SRTI would automatically Pan/Tilt to the perimeter fence, zoom out and hold for 8 seconds. Then on to the next point all automatically. To stop the scan all you have to do is grab the joystick for instant user control over ride. Simple, intelligent and powerful.
The M5 SRTI comes fully loaded right out of the box with all the features you would expect in a high end surveillance platform. In the real world of harsh weather conditions lenses can become obscured by rain, mud, snow or dirt. The M5 SRTI provides an integrated wiper system to quickly and efficiently clean the lens. Simply activate the wiper from the onscreen menu to see clearly again. No matter what the conditions bring, the M5 SRTI strives to deliver.
The M5 SRTI thermal pan tilt system was designed and manufactured to easily mount almost anywhere. Vehicle, vessel or building installation is a piece of cake. The base of the lightweight M5 SRTI system is secured with a simple 4 bolt mounting pattern. Integrated bushings protect the M5 SRTI from shock and vibration. Wiring of the M5 SRTI is as simple as possible. All that is required is a power connection, serial connection (for control) and simple video connection. The M5 SRTI can easily be installed in guard towers, network video systems, wireless configurations, buildings, vehicles, vessels and almost any other location that you can think of.
