ICI FX 160

Recently, Infrared Cameras Inc. announced a new infrared camera that is specifically designed for firefighting applications. This lightweight, rugged, and portable camera has been specifically designed to withstand shock, heat, and water. Using a high sensitive infrared camera allows firefighters to identify and respond to dangerous situations in real time. Infrared allows firefighters to see through the smoke and identify hot spots.

The camera is built to withstand punishment and we believe it will become an invaluable asset to anyone that has to deal with fire fighting situations. Its one handed operation makes it simple and easy to use. The 3.5” LCD display produces an exceptional image, easy to see and interpret. This camera was specifically designed for firefighting applications.

Fire control and management – whether for natural resource fires, crash fires, or urban building fires – presents many challenges to those who are fighting fires and managing the fight. Infrared technology is being increasingly recognized as essential in timely fire rescue operations where lives are at stake. ICI infrared cameras are a "natural" fire fighters tool in the effort to gain this valuable real-time tactical information. Since it is a technology designed to sense and display heat signatures, the cameras provides “sight” in dark and smoke filled environments, which is invaluable in the decision making process. Infrared thermal imaging systems are being integrated into fire control, management and firefighting services throughout the world. Infrared Cameras, Inc. offers solutions that meet and exceed the operational needs of these applications.
