In the field of security and alert systems product lines are always being restructured, the restructuring of such product lines are brought about by several reasons or conditions, the first reason is that the field of security and alert systems is a very dynamic market. The dynamism of this industry is brought about by its dependence on technology, security devices that are manufactured by security and alert systems companies are driven by technology and since new technologies are being discovered every day security and alert systems companies should exploit if not only to utilise the said new technologies in order to improve their product or even set the benchmark in the industry Another reason or condition is the fact that the field of security and alert systems industry is a very competitive market, many companies involved in the field of security and alert systems are investing much on research and development because of the fact that they would like to deliver the best products to both their clients and potential clients.

Recognising these factors Flir a leader in thermal CCTV Camera systems have launched their F-series thermal imaging cameras. These set of CCTV cameras were developed in response to the need to incorporate new technologies and the need to increase competency in the different security and alert systems products. The F-series is incorporated with an advance technology which is the uncooled Vanadium Oxide microbolometer detector. Aside from that an internal CCTV camera software is integrated which helps the CCTV camera deliver clear images without the need for manual adjustments. This series of CCTV cameras are available in various pixel detectors from 160 x 120 up to 640 x 480.

Several features are also integrated in the F-series that would enable the CCTV camera to be readily integrated to an existing CCTV Camera system without sacrificing its capability to also act as a stand-alone CCTV camera system.
