Infrared: more then meets the eye Infrared - part of the electromagnetic spectrum Our eyes are detectors that are designed to detect visible light (or visible radiation). There are other forms of light (or radiation) that we cannot see. The human eye can only see a very small part of the electromagnetic spectrum. At one end of the spectrum we cannot see ultraviolet light, while at the other end our eyes cannot see infrared. Infrared radiation lies between the visible and microwave portions of the electromagnetic spectrum. The primary source of infrared radiation is heat or thermal radiation....

Thermal imaging cameras: perfect tools for security and law enforcement applications Thermal imaging cameras produce a crisp image in the darkest of nights. Contrary to other technologies, thermal imaging cameras need no light whatsoever to produce a crisp image. They can see through light fog and smoke, in practically all weather conditions. This makes them the perfect tools for security and law enforcement applications. Law enforcement missions require officers to respond in a moment’s notice. FLIR’s line of thermal camera systems for law enforcement operations give officers the tactical advantage...

Search & Rescue Finding missing people in total darkness or in severe weather conditions can be a challenge for law enforcement and search & rescue agencies. A thermal imaging camera can help them to do their task and to find the missing person before it is too late. Normal vision Thermal image See more during the day Conventional TV cameras rely on color contrast to provide enough information for the viewer to detect a threat. Even at moderate ranges, weak contrast can render these cameras useless. Thermal imaging cameras do not have this limitation. Normal vision Thermal image

FLIR BHS-Series: see without being seen BHS-Series are shock-resistant thermal imaging cameras. They produce a crisp image in the darkest of nights. With the BHS-Series security professionals and law enforcement officers can see suspects in total darkness, through smoke, and light foliage. The BHS-Series are bi-oculars. This means that it is less tiring to use for the eyes than a monocular. By using a bi-ocular the ability to detect faint objects is enhanced. This means that you have more chance to detect small objects against the background. It is also easier to hold bi-oculars steady when looking...
