  • Thermal Night Vision as a Force Multiplier

    The harsh, diverse, and ever-changing maritime environment places extraordinary demands on public safety personnel; using the right technology for the job is often the most effective solution possible. One of the best ways maritime public safety personnel can stretch their limited amounts of vessels and personnel is to make sure they’re getting the most out of the technology they’re working with. This is partially a matter of using technologies that will allow for efficient, effective 24-hour responses – thermal night vision cameras, radars, touch screen multifunction displays (MFDs), and even side-scan sonar.

  • Can Thermal Imaging See Through Fog and Rain?

    Thermal imaging cameras see in total darkness, producing clear, crisp images without the need for any light. This makes IR cameras excellent instruments for numerous night vision applications. Although thermal imaging cameras can see in total darkness, through light fog, light rain, and snow, the distance they can see is affected by these atmospheric conditions.

  • The Complete Thermal Firefighting System

    Firefighters depend on a number of technologies to help them in fire situations, search and rescue operations, wildland fires, and scenarios when they are battling hazardous chemical leaks.

  • Things to Know Before Conducting a Building Energy Audit

    How does one go about finding air and energy leaks, let alone addressing them? That process begins with an energy audit—a building assessment designed to detect and record the current  energy consumption of the building and to identify areas where the building can become more energy efficient. An audit can reveal minor inefficiencies—easily remedied with simple fixes such as adding weather stripping around windows—or help locate potentially larger issues before they become expensive to remedy.
