Compact firefighting thermal camera for observing in total darkness and smoke
The FB21 is the compact end of the HIKMICRO firefighting range — a camera small enough to be carried by every member of a crew rather than one per appliance. Eight display palettes cover fire attack, hidden fire point search, rescue and building analysis, and the IP65 housing withstands 90 °C ambient for up to ten minutes and 115 °C for up to two. It measures as well as observes, up to 550 °C.
Key features
-
256 × 192 VOx detector — NETD < 40 mK with optimised image enhancement for clear images through smoke and darkness
-
Eight fire-service palettes — Basic, Black Hot, White Hot, Fire Detection, Rescue, Hot Area, Cold Area and Building — each tuned to a different phase of the job
-
High-temperature working range — up to 10 minutes at −10 °C to 90 °C ambient; up to 2 minutes at −10 °C to 115 °C
-
IP65 and 2 m drop rating — sealed against water and dust for fireground conditions
-
−20 °C to 550 °C measurement range — accuracy ±2 °C / ±2 % across a −20 °C to 50 °C ambient band
-
3.2" colour LCD — large enough to read at arm's length with gloves and a mask on
-
2 MP visual camera — for scene reference and post-incident records
-
LED light — for close work and confined spaces
-
Approx. 380 g — light enough to clip to a set and forget until it is needed
Typical applications
- Structural firefighting and fire attack
