  • Visit FLIR at NECA 2019

    Check out the latest from FLIR this year at the National Electronic Contractors Association (NECA) 2019 tradeshow, the #1 event that brings together suppliers for the electrical construction industry. At NECA, FLIR will be hosting a hands-on technical workshop about electrical maintenance safety devices (EMSDs), as well as providing a series of informational booth talks. FLIR will also be launching a series of new, innovative products to make the lives of electrical contracting professionals a little easier.

  • La Niña is Coming—How Inspectors Can Find Problem Areas Before the Season Strikes

    If you haven't been paying attention to your local weather station, you may not know that we’re due for a La Niña season. Those in the Northern US and Canada will be in for heavy rain and maybe even flooding while those in the southern US will continue to experience drought-like conditions. Whether you're staying warm and dry or keeping cool, you’ll want your home sealed up this season.

  • Teledyne FLIR Introduces X8580 and X6980 Families of High-Speed, High-Resolution Thermal Science Cameras

    Teledyne FLIR introduces two families of X-Series science cameras, the X858x and X698x, offering high-speed and high-resolution thermal imaging capabilities for scientific research and engineering applications within the mid-wave infrared (MWIR) and long-wave infrared (LWIR) spectrum.

  • Thermal Imaging for Large Animal Detection to Help Reduce Wildlife Vehicle Collisions

    Thermal cameras are currently offered as an option on several vehicle models as a driver warning system, but recent developments and testing have shown the potential for thermal cameras to be a valuable part of the automotive sensor suite for functions such as automatic emergency braking (AEB).

  • On the Water with the FLIR M364C

    The unique FLIR M364C combines two cutting-edge imaging systems in a single, robust, pan-and tilt-marine camera housing to produce highly detailed thermal and visible imagery. The result is increased situational awareness and safer navigation via increased object identification capability in any lighting conditions, from total darkness to full sunlight.

  • 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.

  • ExView App Enables Remote Data Collection and Reporting With Multiple Devices

    With the launch of the Extech 250W-Series of environmental meters comes a new mobile application aimed at making data collection and analysis easier than ever: the ExView App. This app can connect with up to eight meters at once, so you can monitor a variety of environmental conditions from outside unsafe or difficult to reach areas. Whether you're connecting several LT250W light meters, AN250W aneometers, or any of the new 250W-Series meters, you will be able to keep tabs on key readings across your facility and easily share them with your team.

  • How Can You Tell If Your House is Missing Insulation?

    You can’t see missing insulation with the naked eye, making it a frustrating problem to try and tackle. However, you are able to see areas of missing insulation with thermal imager. Common areas where you’re likely to find missing insulation include the space around outlets and switches; the edges of attics where the outside walls meet the roof; and unfinished garages, which if connected to the rest of the house can siphon huge amounts of heat during the winter. Insulation in wall cavities can also settle over time, causing gaps to appear.

  • Do I need a cooled or uncooled OGI camera to see methane, sf6, or other industrial gases?

    Gain a better understanding of cooled and uncooled optical gas imaging (OGI) cameras in this webinar, hosted by Craig O’Neill, Director of Strategic Business Development for OGI/Oil and Gas Industry at FLIR. Topics include the science behind the two types of cameras and differences in gas contrast and sensitivity. He also addresses common questions on cooled and uncooled OGI.
