  • FirstLook Takes a Shotgun Blast, And Still Gets the Job Done

    We have several different robots. We use the FirstLook quite a bit and find it very useful. We probably use it four out of five times to go into a structure and get images before we start probing around. The FirstLook allows us to identify threats before exposing an officer, deputy or canine team to a dangerous situation. It’s a visual aid.

  • How To Detect A Water Leak with Thermal Imaging

    Water leaks and moisture infiltration can cause serious damage to a house or building, and can be difficult to detect until it’s already too late. Using a thermal imaging camera and under the right circumstances, it’s possible to find hidden water and moisture issues without resorting to destructive testing. There are many sources of building moisture, including humidity (during any season), condensation, pipe leaks, rain and snow, and even people and animals breathing. Usually a low level of moisture is fine, but leaks or heavy condensation can cause serious problems. A thermal imaging camera cannot “see” moisture in walls, but it can detect subtle temperature differences and patterns that reveal the existence of water.

  • Can Thermal Imaging See Through Walls? And Other Common Questions

    Popular media has been responsible for a wealth of misinformation throughout the years about thermal—or infrared—imaging. What exactly can thermal cameras “see” through? To answer that, here’s a rundown of the most commonly asked questions we receive about what you can and can’t see through using a thermal camera.

  • FLIR Wins Contracts to Provide Ground Robots to Norway Defense and Police Units

    FLIR Systems announced it has won a competitive proposal for contracts with the Norwegian Ministry of Defense and Oslo Police to provide more than 20 of its PackBot® unmanned ground vehicles (UGV), as well as spare parts and training. The rugged FLIR PackBot supports a wide range of operations that otherwise put humans at risk, such as bomb disposal, close-in surveillance, and situations involving hostages or hazardous materials. The latest PackBot model will allow Norway’s defense and Oslo’s police forces to upgrade and expand their ground robot inventory, supplied by FLIR’s legacy UGV business.

  • New Thermal Cameras and Clamp Meters for Electrical Pros

    FLIR announced today four products for electrical professionals including two entry-level TG-series thermal handheld cameras and two clamp meters. The new products will be unveiled at the National Electrical Contractor (NECA) 2019 trade show, which is being held from September 14-19 in Las Vegas (FLIR booth #2941). Here’s a look at the four new products and other FLIR activities happening around NECA.

  • Building Inspection

    Building envelope air leaks, moisture intrusion, and missing, damaged, or inadequate insulation, are all costly problems residential and commercial building owners face. A thermal imaging camera can help you quickly target the source of the problem while the right test meters can provide the data you need to help customers make informed decisions on repairs.

  • What Is EO?/IR?

    EO/IR (Electro-Optical/Infra-Red) systems are imaging systems used for military or law enforcement applications which include both visible and infrared sensors. Because they span both visible and infrared wavelengths, EO/IR systems provide total situational awareness both day and night and in low light conditions.

  • Applying Ground-Based Security Radar to Perimeter Systems

    Perimeter intrusion detection systems (PIDS) typically employ camera-based solutions to monitor perimeters or other areas of importance, but adverse environmental and imaging conditions can impede the performance of traditional camera sensors. Radar addresses these challenges, detecting intruders 24/7 even in harsh weather and low-light or no-light scenarios. By integrating a ground-based commercial radar—the Teledyne FLIR Elara™ R-Series, for example—as another essential sensor within a PIDS to complement visible and thermal cameras, security managers maximize detection coverage, receive early warnings of threats, and gain position intelligence of threats for a turnkey end-to-end security solution.

  • How Do FH-Series Cameras Reduce False Alarms and Improve Detection Accuracy?

    Throughout history, building better security often meant stationing more guards to surveil the perimeter. Plain and simple. In the last 30 years, better perimeter security has meant deploying surveillance cameras and other sensors as a force multiplier. Today, security cameras built with multiple imagers and on-board video analytics represent the latest evolution in these models—bringing together the best of video, sensors, and artificial intelligence for real-time insights and threat detection in harsh environments. When security directors at critical infrastructure sites utilize the new FLIR FH-Series multispectral cameras, they leverage industry-leading technologies that expand coverage, reduce false alarms, and improve 24/7 monitoring.

  • Teledyne FLIR Launches A500f/A700f Cameras for Fire Detection and Condition Monitoring

    The FLIR A500f and A700f Advanced Smart Sensor ruggedized thermal cameras feature high-temperature detection for extreme environments paired with on-camera analytics and alarm capabilities – ideal for industrial early fire detection or outdoor condition monitoring applications. Along with enhanced spot, area, line, polygon, and polyline analytic functions that improve the definition of areas of interest and object curvatures, the A500f/A700f can help commercial and industrial organizations protect assets, improve safety, maximize uptime, and minimize maintenance costs.

  • Teledyne FLIR Releases FLIR MR265 Moisture Meter and Thermal Imager with MSX®

    Home inspectors, contractors, and other professionals who want to consolidate tools without jeopardizing function will appreciate the multiple ways to read and report moisture levels with the MR265, as well as identify temperature anomalies that could denote issues from leaking pipes, to overheating circuits, to inefficient windows and doors.
