Helios HD bi-ocular is recommended for professionals (soldiers, border guards, security guards), who need the most advanced technology. Ergonomic design of Helios HD binocular enables long-term observations and its two lenses enhance depth perception while distance assessment.

The Armasight Helios HD bi-ocular design is based on a non-cooled microbolometer core Tau2 from FLIR (a leader in thermal imaging technology). The core is covered by the producer's warranty for a period of 10 years. The thermal imaging technology is based on the phenomenon of thermal radiation, i.e. the fact that every object emits thermal radiation in infrared wavelengths, which can be subsequently analysed in order to precisely measure the temperature of the object even from a very long distance. Spatial distribution of temperatures is subsequently used to generate the proper thermal image. The microbolometer core of the Helios bi-ocular is so sensitive that it is able to detect even minimal temperature differences and transform them into image visible for humans.

The most important advantage of thermal imaging bi-ocular is its independence from light and weather conditions. Contrary to night vision devices, which require some small amount of residual light to generate an image, the thermal imaging devices need no additional equipment for enhancing visibility, such as active IR illuminators, which can reveal your location to other devices. Thermal imaging is effective in any weather conditions, such as heavy fog, dust or smog, as well as in poor light conditions.

The Helios HD long-range thermal imaging bi-ocular greatly facilitates observation and monitoring of vast areas, both during the day and during the night, as well as enables detection and recognition of people, vehicles and animals from very long distances. Armasight Helios HD is equipped with a sensor operating in two resolutions: 324×256, the latter guaranteeing far more precise reproduction of every detail. Germanium lenses with 10× or 12× magnification guarantee the highest quality, due to the fact that they are the optimum technological solution for observing infrared radiation.

The Armasight Helios HD thermal imaging bi-ocular is the best device in its category. It is based on the top class microbolometer core and equipped with very powerful optical components, which makes it a great tactical bi-ocular for long-range observation and early identification of a variety of different objects. It is sturdy, ergonomic and lightweight thanks to housing made of durable damage-resistant aircraft-aluminium alloy. The bi-ocular is also waterproof and able to work in a wide temperature range. The set includes a wireless remote control for easy turning the device on and off. It is also possible to attach the Recorder DT digital camera to the bi-ocular, thus enabling direct video recording in PAL or NTSC format. The Helios HD bi-ocular can be also mounted on a tripod stand.
