X26 Long-Range PTZ Thermal Cameras for Border Defense and Homeland Security

X26 designs and manufactures military-grade PTZ thermal cameras engineered for long-range surveillance, target acquisition, and reconnaissance. Our PTZ thermal camera systems combine day/night EO sensors, cooled MWIR and uncooled LWIR infrared technology, and precision pan-tilt-zoom control for mission-critical situational awareness—on land, sea, and air.

Built to MIL-SPEC standards, each PTZ thermal camera system offers 24/7 operation in harsh weather and high-vibration environments. We deliver COTS and fully customizable configurations for defense, border protection, port security, ISR, and tactical operations.

These PTZ thermal cameras are designed for seamless integration into manned or unmanned systems (UAV, UGV, USV) and can detect and identify human or vehicle-sized targets at distances exceeding 50 kilometers.

Applications of Long-Range PTZ Thermal Cameras

Our EO/IR and FLIR PTZ systems are deployed globally for:

  • FLIR Border and Perimeter Security – detect and track threats over vast terrain
  • Coastal and Port Defense – maintain visual control in fog, rain, and darkness
  • Critical Infrastructure Protection – 24/7 surveillance of power plants, runways, and refineries
  • ISR FLIR and Tactical Operations – long-range reconnaissance for manned/unmanned missions
  • PTZ FLIR Vehicle, Marine, and Fixed Installations – adaptable mounts for trucks, ships, towers, and command trailers

From coastal PTZ thermal cameras to vehicle-mounted EO/IR turrets, our systems provide unmatched visibility across the most demanding theaters of operation.

Defense-Grade PTZ Thermal Camera Technology

Each X26 PTZ thermal camera integrates the latest FLIR imaging cores and InSb, MCT, or SLS sensors for superior thermal sensitivity and image fidelity. High-resolution HD formats (1280 and 1920) deliver sharp detail across wide fields of view.

We use only the most reliable coolers for MWIR performance, ensuring years of maintenance-free continuous operation. Our PTZ systems also feature intelligent image processing, target tracking, and network/IP control for secure remote access and system integration.

Handheld and Portable FLIR Systems

For ground operations, X26 also produces handheld FLIR thermal imagers—monocular, binocular, and bi-ocular configurations—for tactical surveillance, reconnaissance, and search-and-rescue.

These portable thermal imaging systems provide:

  • High refresh rates (30 Hz / 60 Hz) for fluid motion tracking
  • Multiple video polarities (white-hot, black-hot, color) for flexible target analysis
  • Rugged IP-rated housings for use in combat, law enforcement, and firefighting environments
  • NTSC/PAL and digital video outputs for mission recording and data analysis

SWIR and Multi-Spectral Options

Our SWIR (Short-Wave Infrared) PTZ systems use InGaAs detectors to see through haze, fog, and atmospheric interference. These sensors complement long-range MWIR/LWIR imaging and enhance maritime surveillance, port visibility, and industrial inspection under difficult conditions.

Built for Extreme Environments

All X26 PTZ camera systems are engineered for continuous outdoor operation:

  • IP66 to IP68 ingress protection
  • Resistant to salt fog, sand, vibration, and shock
  • Operational from -40 °C to +70 °C
  • Optional environmental housings for marine and desert climates

Whether deployed on a naval vessel, forward observation post, or unmanned system, these long-range PTZ thermal cameras provide unwavering performance and clarity in all weather and lighting conditions.
