Wire­less Camera Remote Control

Even Greater Flex­ib­ility for Stationary Camera Systems thanks to Web Interface or Remov­able Display

Stationary thermography systems like the ImageIR® or VarioCAM® cameras are usally PC-controlled. The IRBIS® software is installed on the computer, which handles image data acquisition and camera control. The camera and PC are connected via Ethernet, and the computer display is used to visualize the measured values.

As an alternative to this solution, InfraTec offers a wireless remote control for all camera models, which makes operation of the thermography system significantly more flexible. Depending on the camera electronics, the remote control can be implemented via a web interface or a tablet PC.

Web Interface: Integrated Camera Intelligence

A web interface accessible via Wi-Fi allows, properly configured, ImageIR® thermographic cameras to be controlled wirelessly and very flexibly using a smartphone or tablet. The web interface provides access to all functions familiar to the operator from the IRBIS® remote control menu. These include switching the camera on and off, selecting the calibration range, choosing the frame rate, setting the range and level, and configuring and starting the recording of individual thermographic images or image sequences.

If the camera has the appropriate equipment, advanced functions such as filter wheel positioning or zoom and focus settings can also be controlled directly via the web interface.

In general, all InfraTec thermographic cameras can be controlled remotely via smartphone or tablet. For models such as the TarisIR®, a PC connected to the camera provides the web interface and can be used as storage device.

Thanks to their internal software development kit (SDK), the latest generation of ImageIR® cameras can also operate completely independently: the camera functions are controlled either directly by software commands or via the graphical user interface of the web interface. The recorded radiometric image data can be stored immediately and automatically on the camera's internal memory (SSD) – without requiring any external PC connection.

Proven alternative: Wireless remote control via tablet PC

As mentioned, cameras equipped with the proven electronics generation require an additional computer for wireless remote control. Control can be flexibly carried out via Android or Windows tablets with pre-installed communication software. The scope of delivery includes:

  • a high-resolution multi-touch TFT display for the reproduction of the native infrared real-time image

  • a robust, camera-specific mount for the display

  • power supply and a charger.

With a removable display that can be adapted to the camera for wireless camera remote control, stationary infrared cameras will be even more versatile.

InfraTec glossary - VarioCAM® mobile wireless camera remote control

Convenient and wireless remote control of all camera operating functions exemplified by a VarioCAM® HD head.

The advantages of wireless remote control at a glance

  • Camera control independent of platform via web browser or tablet separate from the data PC

  • Ideal for critical measurements where a greater safety distance to the measurement object is required (e.g. in explosion trials or in nuclear research)

  • Optimal for Integration when there is no space for cabling or a control PC
