  • Pro Angler Profile: Frank Crescitelli

    Captain Frank Crescitelli relies on Raymarine and FLIR for productive and safe fishing amidst the bright lights and congested waters of New York City. The New York City that Captain Frank Crescitelli knows is probably not the New York City you know. While over 8 million NYC residents are busy looking for parking spots, Crescitelli is looking for fish for his charter clients and TV audience. As the owner of Fin Chaser Charters and Fin Chasers TV, Crescitelli’s job is to find fish and catch fish in the highly productive yet incredibly busy waters around the largest city in the United States.

  • FLIR A50 and A70 Thermal Cameras Offer Turnkey Solutions for Efficient Data Analysis

    When decision makers seek to integrate new hardware into their automation process, they are often looking at a few key areas – the ease of use, price point, features, and the ability to utilize the hardware at multiple points throughout their system. The new A50 and A70 thermal cameras come in three options – Smart, Streaming, and Research & Development to fit the needs of professionals across a variety of industries – from manufacturing to utilities to science.  The new cameras offer improved accuracy of ±2°C or ±2% temperature measurement, compared to the previous accuracy of ±5°C, or ±5% temperature measurement. The cameras all include an IP66 rating, along with a small, compact size with higher resolution options compared to previous versions.

  • World Wildlife Fund: Love It or Lose It Campaign

    In February, World Wildlife Fund launched the “Love It or Lose It” campaign to highlight the wildlife and wild places we’re at risk of losing if we don’t love and protect them enough. This Earth Day, FLIR CEO Jim Cannon tells us what he loves about nature and the work FLIR does to help protect it.

  • Industry First Foresight ADAS/AV Thermal Camera Auto Calibration Enables Accurate 3D Perception Day or Night

    To aid in crucial 3D depth perception, Foresight, part of the Thermal by FLIR® program and an automotive vision systems innovator, has achieved the ability to create a cost-effective 3D perception system through QuadSight®, a multi-spectral vision solution. This solution combines data from two FLIR Boson® thermal imaging cameras and two visible-light cameras, each as stereo pairs, respectively.

This affordable thermal imager is designed for automotive professionals and is ideal for diagnosing problems in relays and switches, parasitic drain on the battery, drive train components, HVAC system (vents), and much more.

  • How to Mount and Zero Thermal Riflescopes

    Angelo Brewer of FLIR Outdoor and Tactical Systems outlines the step-by-step process of mounting and zeroing a FLIR dedicated thermal riflescope, such as the Thermosight Pro or Zeus Pro, for reliable shot placement in challenging visibility conditions.

  • What’s the Difference Between Gen 2 and Gen 3 Night Vision?

    Night vision has come a long way in the decades since its invention, and currently available devices can be classified into three distinct generations, defined primarily by the type of image intensifier tube used for the night vision device. An image intensifier tube (in technical terms) is а vасuum-ѕеаlеd tube containing а рhоtосаthоdе, mісrо-сhаnnеl рlаtе, and а рhоѕрhоr ѕсrееn that gives the device night vision capabilities. In simple terms, the image intensifier tube is what makes night vision possible. FLIR supplies Gen 2 and Gen 3 night vision equipment. Both these generations represent a huge leap in quality from the first generation of night vision - Gen 2 devices are much closer in performance to Gen 3 than Gen 1. For comparison purposes we have highlighted the differences between Gen 2 and Gen 3 Image Intensification.

  • Growing Beyond Earth and Learning Beyond the Classroom With Thermal Imaging

    With the right mindset, anyone of any age can be a scientist. That’s what James Falletti is teaching his sixth graders through a research program called “Growing Beyond Earth,” which gives them the opportunity to test the viability of different plants for growing aboard a space station. Armed with the scientific method and specialized measurement tools like a FLIR ONE camera, these students are collecting data that might one day determine what crops are grown in outer space.

  • FLIR's Best Videos of 2019

    From taking viewers under the hood of a car all the way to inside the Chernobyl Exclusion Zone, it’s been an exciting year for FLIR on YouTube. To celebrate the end of 2019, we’re taking a look back at some of our favorite videos from throughout the year on the FLIR channel.

  • Qualitative vs. Quantitative Thermography: Understanding What Is Required and When

    The ability to detect and visualize infrared energy with thermal imaging cameras has enormous benefits for users, from saving lives to saving livelihoods. Over the past decade especially, innovations in thermal imaging camera size, weight, and cost, along with upgrades to form factors, analysis software, and data processing, have made this technology invaluable in unforeseen ways. With so many options—from unmanned aerial camera systems for search and rescue to optical gas imaging cameras for spotting fugitive emissions—it’s important to hone in on key factors when selecting the right thermal tool for your job. The question to begin with is whether qualitative or quantitative data is paramount.
