Thermal Imaging for Firefighting with Cameras from FLIR Systems

FLIR Launches New Groundbreaking
Thermal Imaging Cameras for Firefighting
The compact FLIR K2 camera and FLIR K65 NFPA-1801 compliant camera enable firefighters with life-saving thermal imaging technology

FLIR Systems announced the addition of the new FLIR K2 and FLIR K65 to its industry-leading lineup of K-Series thermal imaging cameras (TICs) that provide firefighters with the capability to see through smoke, locate and rescue victims, identify hot spots, navigate safely, and stay better oriented during response missions.

The FLIR K65 has been fully certified to the National Fire Protection Association's NFPA 1801-2013 standard for usability, image quality, and durability for firefighting thermal imagers. The K65 offers superior 320 x 240 thermal resolution and features FLIR's revolutionary Flexible Scene Enhancement™ (FSX) technology for ultra-crisp thermal imagery and visibility in total darkness and smoke-filled rooms. FSX heightens thermal image detail through real-time, onboard digital processing, producing an image that shows extraordinary structural, edge, and other instantly-recognizable features. The K65 also includes onboard video recording and playback, which is useful for debriefing and training.

The FLIR K2 brings FLIR's powerful life-saving thermal technology to a broader base of firefighters at a breakthrough price point. Powered by FLIR's revolutionary Lepton® camera core, the compact K2 delivers detailed thermal images at 160 x 120 resolution and is equipped with FLIR's patented Multi-Spectral Dynamic Imaging (MSX®) technology that significantly enhances image quality, allowing firefighters to see key structural details in a variety of environments.
