Iranian Firm Makes CCTV Camera Resistant to Heat Up to 2,800 degrees
“The main activity of our company is the design, manufacture, installation and commissioning of industrial equipment and machinery. The latest technology we have developed is the CCTV cameras for inside metallurgical furnaces that are resistant to temperatures up to 2,800 degrees,” Rahman Haddadinejad, a representative of the company based at Islamic Azad University’s Isfahan branch, told ANA on the sidelines of Asr-e Omid event in the Northwestern city of Tabriz.
Noting that there are several types of metallurgical furnaces, he said, “There are a series of furnaces for stress relief that do not require cameras but there are furnaces for heat treatment too that have temperatures up to 2,200 degrees and are used to heat ingots for rolling and other work.”
“We have melting furnaces, which include induction and electric arc furnaces, which we call EAF. Our company designed and manufactured a camera for these furnaces that shows the inside of the melting furnace,” Haddadinejad said.
In a relevant development in 2024, a knowledge-based company in Iran had also succeeded in developing a home-made software to prevent CCTV cameras from being hacked by using artificial intelligence technology.
“Since we did not have a home-made system for monitoring images in the country, and the foreign software products available in Iran are cracked and non-original and there is no support and after-sales service on these systems, we tried to settle this problem,” Ahmad Ahmadi, the vice-president of business development department of the knowledge-based company, told ANA.
He explained that one of the systems developed by his company has been presented to the market nearly 8 years ago and is used in municipalities, universities of medical sciences, economic enterprises and various industries, hospitals, railways, power plants, petrochemical companies and refineries across the country.
“This software does not depend on a specific model of CCTV and reduces costs, because sometimes the organization has to change camera models. And since we are familiar with the bandwidth and internet factors and limitations in Iran, the software has been developed in a way that it can be adapted to the conditions,” Ahmadi said.
