About the VSR-6The VSR-6 is an extremely affordable thermal imager. It provides crisp and clear thermal imagery in total darkness, light fog or smoke. Night vision will never compare to the effectiveness of thermal cameras.

It features the same thermal imaging technology found in many of our most sophisticated security and surveillance systems, but is packaged for users who have short-range security and surveillance as their primary application. It includes advanced image processing techniques which deliver excellent contrast regardless of scene dynamics. Unlike other night vision systems that require low amounts of light to generate an image, the VSR-6 needs no light at all.
In-Depth Look at the VSR-6
Revolutionary Price:
Never has thermal imaging for security and surveillance applications been more affordable than today. Thanks to increasing demand, resulting in high volume production, ThermalVideo.com is able to market the VSR-6 at a revolutionary price.
Crisp Thermal Images Pixels:
The VSR-6 provides crisp, clear thermal images with 160 x 120 pixels. Advanced internal camera software delivers a crisp heat signature images without the need for user adjustments. 
It provides good quality thermal imaging in any night or daytime environmental condition.
The VSR-6 is an excellent thermal imaging camera for those users that have only short range requirements and want to detect man-sized or bigger targets. This camera can be used for homeland security or border patrol applications.
Wide-angle Lens:
The VSR-6 is equipped with a 6.3 mm wide angle lens. It gives you an extremely wide field of view (52°), so that you can cover a large area and keep excellent situational awareness.
Lightweight:
Very lightweight, VSR-6 can be installed at any position.
It can be mounted at an optimal observation point providing maximum field of view.

Features
Easy-to install / Easy-to-use:
The VSR-6 is extremely easy to use and requires no operator training.

It can be easily integrated into any existing CCTV infrastructure providing early detection and visibility 24/7 all the year round.
Composite Video:
The images from the 160 x 120 pixels detector can be displayed on virtually any existing display that accepts composite video.
Designed for use in harsh environments:
The VSR-6 is an extremely rugged system. Its vital core is well protected, meeting Mil-Std-810E and IP66 requirements, against humidity and water. It operates between -32°C and +55°C. The VSR-6 has a built-in heater.
This ensures a clear lens and perfect infrared images displayed on your monitor even in extremely cold environments. |

The Johnson Criteria assumes that the critical dimension for a human being is 0.75 meters. To get DRI, you need 1.5 pixels, 6 pixels and 12 pixels across 0.75 meters in the object pane. That means:
|
Detection |
|
1.5 pixels / 0.75m = 2 pixels per meter |
|
Recognition |
|
6 pixels / 0.75m = 8 pixels per meter |
|
Identification |
|
12 pixels / 0.75m = 16 pixels per meter |
|
Assuming that a man is 1.83m by 0.5m, the following would apply:

3.6 pixels by 1 pixel
(You can see something
is there) |

13 pixels by 5 pixels
(You can see that a
person is there) |

28.8 pixels by 8 pixels
(You can see that the
person looks like a soldier) |
