Clarity in thermal video with DRS Technologies’ WatchMaster® Thermal security cameras

Furnishing Systems Integrators with a competitive edge by providing 24/7 affordable thermal solutions that outperform conventional surveillance technologies, the WatchMaster® Family is the clear choice for all of your low light, no light and challenging environments. WatchMaster® thermal camera systems are equipped with DRS’ proprietary Image Contrast Enhancement (ICE™) algorithm for unmatched thermal image quality. ICE™ works to deliver greater image detail by seamlessly integrating three separate processes: (1) Edge Enhancement, (2) Dynamic Contrast Thresholding and (3) Adaptive Rescaling. While Automatic Gain Control (AGC) serves as an extremely valuable function for rendering a viewable image, it is not the optimal solution in every scenario. Many of today’s applications demand greater image detail of the entire scene. With knowledge of these inherent gaps in AGC and fueled by market demand for greater image detail, DRS Technologies continued to refine its imaging technology. Today, DRS' Image Contrast Enhancement (ICE™) provides a more comprehensive and robust imaging solution for a variety of applications. With lens options that range from a wide-angle 90° field of view (FOV) to a narrow 6° FOV and resolutions up to 640x480, WatchMaster® cameras are answering the call for more affordable, reliable detection solutions.
