FLIR Systems, Two-Time Winner in the 2017 ‘ASTORS’ Homeland Security Awards Program, is introducing the new Saros™ line of security cameras, FLIR’s next-generation outdoor security product line that combines multiple traditional perimeter protection technologies into a unified solution.
THE SAROS ADVANTAGE
Commercial customers have few outdoor security options. Traditional perimeter systems are too costly, both in initial deployment, and ongoing costs from false alarms.
Saros addresses these issues by reducing the amount of equipment required, and using advanced analytics to reduce false alarms.
Saros utilizes four technologies to deliver accurate, actionable alerts – regardless of unfavorable lighting or weather conditions – and provides verified alarm data for police and first responders.
The result is a shortened response time, saving companies from loss of equipment, merchandise, or interruptions in business, designed to deliver accurate, actionable alerts and verified alarm data.
By implementing Saros, security professionals gain a solution that:
- Delivers 24-hour monitoring
- Reduces false alarms with accurate target detection and classification
- Provides visual identification of intruders
- Provides verified alarm clips for police dispatch
- Enables real-time audio response
- Deters intruders with white light illumination
- Integrates with leading central monitoring platforms and video management systems
- Delivers a return on investment in just a few months for high risk areaS
The FLIR Saros camera line enables commercial businesses to implement state-of-the-art outdoor intrusion detection in a cost-effective manner.
Traditional perimeter security systems can require substantial investment, both in infrastructure and in ongoing expenses stemming from false alarms.
FLIR Saros, not only greatly reduces the cost of initial deployment by minimizing the amount of equipment required, but also reduces false positives with built-in advanced analytics, expanding the outdoor perimeter protection market for security alarm monitoring companies.

Additionally, the FLIR Saros platform was designed and engineered with today’s cybersecurity risks in mind, with end-to-end encryption for setup, web, and video streams, and configuration lockdown after initial setup for increased tamper prevention.
FLIR Saros also eliminates the need for port-forwarding, so devices are less exposed to remote security attacks.
“FLIR Saros, equipped with multiple FLIR Leptons, represents a new security paradigm for wide-area commercial locations that face the threat of loss,” said James Cannon, President and CEO of FLIR.
“FLIR Saros products open new business opportunities for both central monitoring stations and security integrators looking to distinguish themselves in the industry.”
“The Saros family is an important addition to FLIR’s security portfolio and supports our goal of innovating technologies that increase perception and awareness to support professionals in decision-making that saves lives and livelihoods.”
Initial FLIR Saros models – in both dome and multi-imager form factors – will begin shipping in North America and Europe in the third quarter of 2018 through FLIR’s established network of dealers and integrators.
