IDF Employs New Thermal Camera for Border Surveillance

(BaMahane-Israel Defense Forces) Dan Tamir - The IDF Central Command has begun deploying the Magna thermal camera system. "It is a warning system that provides intelligence coverage over a specific area and provides a warning response to an intrusion," says Maj. Oshri Itach. The Magna combines thermal cameras and regular cameras, and can scan an area over a range of several miles.
