  • Introducing the FLIR A6780 Mid- and Longwave Thermal Cameras

    The ability to accurately measure thermal events over a wide range of targets and temperatures is vital for industrial, military, and manufacturing research and development applications. Today FLIR introduced the FLIR A6780 in two models, the A6780-MWIR (midwave infrared) and A6780-LWIR (longwave infrared) camera systems to make those tasks easier to execute.

  • FLIR Systems Introduces Rugged Visible Security Camera for Perimeter Protection and Long-Range Situational Awareness

    FLIR Systems, Inc. (NASDAQ: FLIR) today announced a new addition to its premium Quasar™ line of PTZ cameras, the FLIR Quasar 4K 31x IR PTZ. The camera offers 4K visible resolution with 31x optical zoom paired with long-range, infrared illumination (IR) for low-light coverage up to 200 meters in challenging environments.

  • Combating California Wildfires from Above with the FLIR Star SAFIRE 380-HDc

    Every year, wildfires in California present a huge threat to ecosystems, property, and human lives. Managing these wildfires is a difficult and dangerous task, especially because of the unpredictability of fires and the poor visibility caused by smoke. In recent decades, however, firefighters have the benefit of thermal imaging to help combat the flames. The Forest Service in Region 5 (California) has two Bell 209 (Cobra) helicopters equipped with FLIR thermal gimbals. This allows the flight crew to see through smoke, report real time fire progression, provide tactical IR capabilities to enhance ground resource’s’ situational awareness, and keep incident management apprised of critical holding issues. 

  • No Excuse for Firefighter Disorientation

    Firefighters dedicate years to better understanding fire behavior. No matter the level of training, experience, or skill, firefighters still face circumstances beyond their control that can dramatically alter a fire’s behavior. With modern fires progressing faster than ever, unexpected changes on the interior can lead to dangerous moments of disorientation. Equipping each firefighter with a thermal imaging camera (TIC) could be the difference between getting into serious trouble and making it out alive.

  • Elephant Toothpaste Geyser with FLIR Thermal Cameras

    You've never seen the elephant toothpaste experiment like this! Craig Beals brings elephant toothpaste geysers to the Invisible Lab, but with a new twist - filming with a FLIR thermal camera.

  • How Sensitive are FLIR Gas Detection Cameras?

    Optical gas imaging (OGI) cameras are extremly sensitive - they can detect small leaks from several meters away, large leaks from hundreds of meters away, and also show leaks in moving transport vehicles like tanker trucks, barges, and rail wagons.

  • FLIR Radiometric Thermal Imagers Protect Ecologica Tredi Waste Facility Against Fires

    An ongoing problem for the hazardous waste disposal industry is the potential for fires to break out in stored or processed materials due to factors such as self-combustion, the presence of rags coming into contact with solvents and lithium batteries thrown in the waste.

  • FLIR Security Solutions Protect Munu, an Endangered South-Western Black Rhino

    In 2019, rangers working at a South African National Park found a black rhino walking in circles and visibly disoriented. After safely tranquilizing him, they discovered that this rhino, today known as Munu, had suffered two detached retinas and irreversible blindness. South African conservationist Brett Barlow quickly stepped in and teamed up with FLIR Systems to protect the endangered blind rhino.
