Infrared camera for tactical operations - FLIR H

FLIR H series of manual thermal imaging cameras was designed for tactical operations – it is small, lightweight and very efficient. Durable casing protects the device efficiently from mechanical damage. The device can be used in conditions of extreme temperatures and high humidity. It enables efficient observation in field operations, granting the user a tactical advantage and increasing their safety.

Thermal imaging devices operate in infrared band, which is invisible to human eye. The main source of infrared radiation is heat – every object of temperature above the absolute zero (-273.15°C ) emits infrared radiation, the profile of which depends on the temperature of the object. This physical phenomenon can be used for imaging at poor lighting conditions, lack of any lighting, or in hard weather conditions, which make normal imaging impossible (dense fog, smoke or dusting of the environment).

Unlike the more popular category of devices – night vision devices – no natural or artificial source of light is needed for operation. The only thing needed is heat radiation, emitted by every object. This solution is intended for professionals and is suitable for security systems and military purposes, it is also used by special forces and espionage agencies. It enables quick detection of threats at very long distances, in any conditions and regardless of camouflage (e.g. hiding over a pile of leaves, using dark materials with camouflage patterns, etc.). The infrared camera for tactical operations converts even small differences of temperature into observable image, which can be displayed on a viewfinder or recorded in the device's memory.

The main element of the FLIR H is the microbolometer sensor made from vanadium oxide (VOx) which generates high quality image in 320x240 resolution. It is detailed to an extent that enables quick detection and efficient identification of objects within the field of vision of the camera. Very high sensitivity for small differences of temperature results in very large observation range.

Additionally, depending on current needs, the user may choose between different lenses. The professional version allows also to record the thermal image as video or photos – saved on replaceable memory cards.
