Fixed thermal camera for continuous temperature monitoring
Continuous temperature monitoring of substation equipment, switchgear or unattended processes calls for a fixed thermal camera that measures without an operator and hands the readings straight to the control system, not a handheld camera. The IR DLD-T does it with an uncooled 640 × 480 or 384 × 288 microdetector that tracks up to 10 points, 10 areas and 3 lines in real time with maximum, minimum and average temperatures, and sends the values to PLC or SCADA systems over Modbus RTU/TCP, with one hardware alarm input and one output, ONVIF Profile-S/G video and a single POE Ethernet cable.
IR DLD-T key data
- Detector: uncooled focal-plane thermal microdetector, 640 × 480 or 384 × 288 pixels depending on the version.
- Measurement: in standard mode, 6 real-time moving points, 6 areas and 3 lines with maximum, minimum and average temperatures; in extended mode, 10 points, 10 areas and irregular-shape drawing.
- Temperature output: Modbus RTU/TCP, so PLC and SCADA systems read the IR DLD-T temperatures directly.
- Alarms: 1 hardware alarm input channel and 1 alarm output for local signalling.
- Video: ONVIF Profile-S/G compatible; the IR DLD-T joins video management platforms like any other IP camera.
- Lens: athermalised fixed focal length that keeps its calibration in high and low ambient temperatures.
- Installation: POE supply, with power and data over a single Ethernet cable, and IP66 outdoor enclosure with lightning and surge protection.
Advantages
Unattended monitoring
Fixed-mount installation with continuous measurement of maximum, minimum and average temperatures, including irregular measurement shapes.
An optic that ignores the weather
The athermalised fixed-focal lens holds its calibration in high and low ambient temperatures; the IP66 enclosure adds lightning and surge protection outdoors.
Direct integration
Temperature output over Modbus RTU/TCP, one hardware alarm input and one output, and ONVIF Profile-S/G compatibility for video management platforms.
One-cable deployment
POE supplies power and data over a single Ethernet cable, simplifying outdoor wiring.
Applications
- Continuous thermal monitoring of substation equipment and switchgear.
- Fire prevention on conveyors, warehouses and waste bunkers.
- Process temperature control in unattended installations.
About the product
The IR DLD-T is a network thermal camera for permanent installation: it behaves like an IP camera for video platforms while serving radiometric data to industrial control systems, with alarms triggered locally through the hardware output.

Frequently asked questions
Which thermal camera is best for monitoring a substation around the clock?
A fixed radiometric camera that measures without an operator and sends temperatures to the control system. The IR DLD-T tracks up to 10 points, 10 areas and 3 lines with a 640 × 480 or 384 × 288 detector, delivers the values over Modbus RTU/TCP and mounts outdoors in an IP66 enclosure with a single POE cable.
How many measurement points can the IR DLD-T monitor at once?
In standard mode, 6 moving points, 6 areas and 3 lines in real time, with maximum, minimum and average temperatures; in extended mode, up to 10 points and 10 areas, with irregular measurement shapes.
How does it deliver readings to a control system?
Over Modbus RTU/TCP, so PLC and SCADA systems read temperatures directly; the hardware alarm output also switches local signalling.
Does it work with existing video systems?
Yes. ONVIF Profile-S/G compatibility integrates the stream into standard video management platforms.
What does the installation require?
A single Ethernet cable: POE carries both power and data. The IP66 enclosure suits permanent outdoor mounting.
Is the optic affected by ambient temperature?
No. The athermalised fixed-focal lens keeps its calibration in high and low temperature environments.
