FAQ

Product & Integration FAQs

Practical answers for buyers comparing standard thermal imaging cameras, AI-enabled products, complete display systems and vehicle integration solutions.

What is the difference between a standard thermal camera and an AI-enabled thermal imaging system?

A standard automotive thermal imaging camera creates a thermal image from heat signatures to improve visibility when visible light is limited. AI-enabled products add target detection, on-screen target boxes, visual and audio alerts, and adjustable alert zones or distance settings. Available AI functions vary by product series and project configuration.

What functions are available in Distar AI thermal imaging products?

These products provide target detection, on-screen target boxes, visual and audio alerts, adjustable alert zones or distance settings, recording and local playback. Complete systems also display the thermal image and AI information inside the vehicle.

What information helps confirm the right configuration?

Please share the vehicle or mobile equipment type, viewing area, operating environment, preferred display arrangement, AI and alert requirements, recording needs, and any MDVR or vehicle terminal integration requirements.
