Executive Summary

PTZ infrared cameras are sophisticated thermographic tools designed to pan (rotate), pitch (tilt), and zoom, enabling temperature measurement and condition monitoring across critical power system assets common to substations and switchyards. These devices use infrared technology to detect thermal anomalies, supporting non-contact diagnostics and predictive maintenance to prevent costly failures. While PTZ cameras promise versatility, their deployment carries significant risks and challenges—particularly without advanced stabilization and compensation technologies. This paper explores the benefits, underscores the perils, and highlights Power Intelligence’s solutions.
