Strategic collaboration brings a UL 2684-listed and NFPA 72-compliant thermal imaging solution to the commercial market for early fire detection and faster emergency response

Everon has announced a strategic collaboration with Teledyne FLIR to deliver thermal imaging cameras for early fire detection and monitoring in commercial environments.

The partnership combines Everon’s fire and life safety integration expertise with FLIR’s thermal imaging technology to help organizations identify developing thermal events and improve emergency response.

Everon, a leading provider of commercial security, video, fire, and life safety solutions, is ranked the third-largest integrated security company in the United States by SDM Magazine. The collaboration introduces FLIR’s UL-listed thermal imaging solution for early warning fire detection, designed to address demanding fire and life safety requirements.

FLIR Thermal Cameras Achieve UL 2684 Certification

FLIR’s A-Series thermal imaging cameras received UL certification on September 21, 2026. According to the companies, the solution is UL 2684-listed and compliant with NFPA 72 requirements for initiating devices under Chapter 17 and inspection, testing, and maintenance under Chapter 14.

Unlike traditional detection devices, the thermal imaging solution identifies abnormal heat signatures and fire-related thermal events as they develop. It can provide early warning notifications while initiating a fire alarm event directly at the fire alarm control panel.

This integrated approach is designed to support faster emergency response, reduce risk, and improve protection for critical assets and environments.

Configurable Thermal Alarms Support Early Detection

The solution offers configurable alarm settings to accommodate different customer requirements and applications, including:

• Fixed temperature threshold alarms
• Rate-of-temperature-rise alarms
• Percentage-of-change notifications
• Multiple zones or areas of interest within a single camera

By monitoring larger areas and multiple zones simultaneously, a single thermal camera can replace multiple traditional detection devices in suitable applications. This can simplify system design and ongoing maintenance while improving detection coverage.

Thermal Imaging Targets High-Risk Commercial Environments

The solution is designed for a broad range of commercial and industrial applications, including:

• Battery energy storage systems (BESS)
• Energy production and utilities
• Data centers
• Warehouses and distribution centers
• Rooftop solar installations
• Manufacturing facilities
• Food and beverage operations
• Recycling and waste management facilities

These environments can benefit from continuous thermal monitoring to identify abnormal heat conditions before they develop into more serious incidents.

Everon Highlights Fire And Life Safety Benefits

“Working with FLIR on this solution represents a major advancement in how early fire detection and life safety systems can be designed and deployed,”

said Ryan Sandler, Vice President, Fire & Life Safety for Everon.

“By combining Everon’s deep expertise in code compliant fire and life safety integration with FLIR’ s proven thermal imaging technology, we’re helping customers detect thermal events earlier, respond faster, and reduce risk – particularly in complex, high hazard environments.”

FLIR Emphasizes Faster Emergency Response

“When it comes to fire detection, the value comes down to one thing: time,”

said Kyle McKinney, Vice President, America Sales for FLIR Advanced & Integrated Systems.

“By enabling earlier detection of developing thermal events, FLIR’s UL-Listed thermal imaging solution gives organizations more time to respond before a fire impacts people, assets, and operations. We are excited to bring this capability to Everon’s customer base and help them reduce risk across their most critical environments.”
