System for acquisition and transmission of thermal images to monitor equipment of an electrical substation

Thermographic monitoring systems are achieving satisfactory results in identifying points with anomalous temperature, preventing faults to occur. In the development of a methodology for automatic analysis thermal images, an automated system data acquisition and transmission is necessary. This article aims compare different ways acquire images from camera FLIR® A700: Atlas SDK, web interface Rest API, among which latter stands out because its simplicity easy implementation. The also describes developed software capture communication transmit these images.
