Introduction - FLIR H-Series Operator's Manual

1 Introduction

The H-Series handheld thermal imaging camera lets law enforcement
officers see clearly in total darkness, giving them the information they
need while making quick decisions, enhancing mission effectiveness,
maximizing operational capabilities, and improving officer safety.
The H-Series camera provides a 320 × 240 resolution Vanadium
Oxide (VO ) microbolometer giving excellent, high-fidelity thermal
x
imagery with the detail necessary for cutting edge performance. You
will see improved detection and recognition ranges in total darkness,
as well as through smoke, dust, and light fog.
You can see better through camouflage and foliage in any lighting
conditions. Because H-Series cameras see heat, not light, they are not
fooled by suspects wearing dark clothes or hiding in bushes.
You can see more—and see farther—than with other night vision
technologies because H-Series cameras see clearly without any light
whatsoever. You can see farther at night than with technologies that
need ambient light to work and you can see heat sources that these
other cameras could never find.
With a variety of lens options, on-board image and video capture
capability, and optional wireless transmission all built in to the camera,
H-Series cameras are the most potent imaging package available
today.
