A New Eye for Cultural Heritage Protection: Thermal Imaging Cameras

 Threats to cultural heritageCultural heritage is a precious legacy that embodies our history and spirit. Damage caused by intrusion, unauthorized access, or fire can result in irreparable loss. The responsibility to preserve traditional heritage safely is more important than ever.Protecting heritage with TBT technologyTBT provides an integrated monitoring solution for cultural heritage protection using thermal imaging cameras. These cameras allow for precise zone configuration to detect intrusions, and when unauthorized entry occurs, they trigger immediate alarms so that managers can respond quickly.In addition, in the event of fire, thermal imaging cameras can instantly detect flames or abnormal heat emissions and trigger alerts, enabling an early response at the initial stage. This function serves as a frontline safeguard that protects the very life of cultural assets.Broad applicabilityThis solution is especially useful at national museums, historic houses, and temples, where human access may be limited or structures are complex. In the case of traditional wooden heritage sites, fires can spread rapidly, making real-time detection and response systems essential.Furthermore, thermal imaging–based detection systems remain reliable at night or during adverse weather conditions when human monitoring is difficult. This ensures continuous monitoring, heightened vigilance, and effective response capability for heritage managers.TBT’s heritage protection solutionIntrusions or fires at cultural heritage sites are not mere accidents—they pose a serious threat to our cultural memory. The zoning and dual alert features (for intrusion and fire) of thermal imaging cameras play a vital role in preventing such risks.TBT’s solution provides both intrusion detection and early fire alerts, offering a highly reliable security and safety net for cultural sites. In doing so, it sets a new standard for the preservation and management of cultural heritage. 

Protecting Both Safety and the Environment with Thermal Imaging Bird Detection

 Why is bird strike a problem?Collisions between aircraft and birds—commonly known as bird strikes—pose a serious threat to aviation safety. Thousands of such incidents occur worldwide each year, leading to aircraft damage, flight delays, increased maintenance costs, and passenger safety concerns. For airport operators, it is a critical issue that must be addressed.Application at airportsTBT proposes a solution that uses thermal imaging cameras to reduce the risk of bird strikes. Unlike conventional cameras, thermal imaging detects heat (infrared radiation), allowing it to capture bird movements even at night or in foggy and rainy conditions.When installed around airport runways, the system enables real-time monitoring of approaching birds, allowing control centers to respond immediately. Additionally, accumulated data can be analyzed to understand seasonal and time-based bird migration patterns, contributing to long-term safety management.Real-world application at wind farmsTBT’s thermal imaging cameras are already in use at wind farms for bird detection. Bird collisions with wind turbine blades not only damage equipment but also cause serious harm to ecosystems.Installed cameras detect approaching birds in advance and send warning signals to operators, preventing accidents while ensuring both the reliability of power facilities and eco-friendly operation.TBT’s solutionBird strike prevention extends beyond accident avoidance—it is connected to aviation safety, facility protection, and environmental conservation. Thermal imaging–based bird detection technology has become a key tool in addressing these challenges, with applications expected to expand into many other industries.Currently, TBT offers three thermal imaging camera models TPV-I(A)HDR Series, TPV-I(A)HW Series, TPV-IASW-M Series for bird detection. Each can be selected according to site conditions and requirements, allowing for customized solutions.
