HIKMICRO, a leading figure in industrial imaging, is enhancing the firefighting sector with its innovative range of infrared thermal cameras. Designed to be robust and dependable, these devices are particularly suited for critical operations where consistency is key. The company's latest offering, the FP21 pocket-sized thermal imager, has been specifically tailored for firefighters, providing essential clarity where it is most needed.
Designed for Quick Deployment
The FP21 thermal imager stands out with its compact design and bright 3.2-inch LCD screen, ensuring it is ready for immediate use. Offering advanced SuperIR technology, it effectively cuts through smoke, dust, and darkness to unveil concealed threats, providing crucial data rapidly in challenging environments. Constructed with impact-resistant PPSU polymer and an IP67 rating, the FP21 is both dustproof and waterproof, withstanding radiant heat up to 260°C (500°F).
Enhanced Functionality
While the FP21 is a powerful tool on its own, it complements the more advanced FP31 model, designed with additional features including a visual lens, higher resolution, and increased storage capacity. The FP31 also comes equipped with two laser modules: a visible laser pointer for intuitive marking and a laser distance meter for precise distance measurement.
Portability and Performance
The FB21 thermal imager showcases HIKMICRO's commitment to creating portable yet high-performing devices. Featuring a sensitive NETD < 40 mK VOx detector, eight color palettes, and a 3.2-inch color LCD screen, it is protected against water and dust with an IP65 rating. These attributes make it an ideal choice for first-line responders.
Optimized for High-Risk Operations
For operations involving ultra-high risks, the FT31 model provides superior solutions. Preferred by fire chiefs and incident commanders, it incorporates a NETD < 35 mK VOx detector and ODE functionality. The IP67 rating offers enhanced protection, while the 60 Hz image refresh rate ensures smooth, consistent video capture even in hazardous conditions.
A Commitment to Durability
"In the heart of an inferno, where pressure is crushing, heat is intense, and visibility is zero, a thermal imager must do more than just work - it must endure," stated Shadow Zhang, HIKMICRO Overseas Brand Manager. "The FP21 wasn't just designed to be another thermal imager; it represents reliability and our dedication to providing tools that professionals can trust their lives to."
Extensive Application Beyond Firefighting
Beyond firefighting, the HIKMICRO range offers precision and reliability across various sectors. These thermal imagers are vital for identifying overheating components, mechanical issues, and insulation leaks, thus preventing downtime and accidents. They’re also integral to search and rescue operations across urban disaster zones and expansive wilderness areas, as well as security and maritime surveillance to detect concealed threats.
Global industrial imaging pioneer, HIKMICRO, is pioneering an all-encompassing range of reliable and durable infrared thermal cameras, proven to perform on a consistent basis in even mission critical industries and applications.
Their technologically advanced range of firefighting thermal imagers is the most recent to benefit – ‘born from fire, built for more’ and designed for any professional operator where clarity is crucial and failure is not an option.
The new, uncompromising and highly affordable FP21 pocket-sized thermal imager is the latest essential tool for firefighters.
Designed for rapid deployment
Its compact form factor and bright 3.2” LCD screen ensure instant intelligence is always on hand
Designed for rapid deployment, its compact form factor and bright 3.2” LCD screen ensure instant intelligence is always on hand, providing critical information within seconds.
Advanced SuperIR technology cuts through obscurants like smoke, dust, and darkness to reveal hidden threat hotspots and details that would otherwise be missed - providing stunning clarity in the most challenging environments.
Housed in impact-resistant PPSU polymer and boasting an IP67 rating, the FP21 is completely dustproof and waterproof. It withstands extreme radiant heat exposure of up to 260°C (500°F), ensuring operation where other devices would fail, while scene-adaptive functionality in the form of Automatic Gain Control (AGC) and Optimized Detail Enhancement (ODE), optimizes imagery across diverse scenes without having to adjust equipment.
Equipped with two laser modules
The FP21 supplements the work of the more advanced (but still pocket-sized and extra rugged for firegrounds and beyond) FP31, which has a visual rather than thermal lens and higher resolution, field of view, object temperature range and storage capacity.
It’s also equipped with two laser modules, in the form of a visible laser pointer for intuitive target marking, plus a laser distance meter to measure distance to objects on-screen.
This means a responder can point to a specific pipe or heat source, measure the distance and relay that information clearly during rescue or inspection missions.
Portability innovations
The compact and cost effective FB21 features a highly sensitive (NETD < 40 mK) Vox detector
These latest portability innovations from HIKMICRO are backed up by high performance and established handheld thermal camera options, with eight color palettes and for observing in total darkness and smoke.
The compact and cost effective FB21 features a highly sensitive (NETD < 40 mK) Vox detector and optimized image enhancement algorithms, with a class-best 3.2” color LCD screen, and is IP65 rated for protection against water and dust. It’s the ideal handheld thermal imager for frontline firefighters and volunteers.
Designed for ultra-high-risk rescues
Meanwhile, the FT31 is HIKMICRO’s primary handheld tool for ultra-high-risk rescues and operations and is favored by fire chiefs, incident commanders and post-fire investigators.
It boasts a more sensitive NETD < 35 mK VOx detector, along with ODE (Object Details Enhancement) functionality; is IP67 rated for even better protection levels and its 60 Hz fast image frequency delivers smooth video while panning across scenes or viewing moving targets.
Symbol of reliability
“In the heart of an inferno, where pressure is crushing, heat is intense, and visibility is zero, a thermal imager must do more than just work - it must endure. Our firefighting range was engineered for this reality and embodies our commitment to creating tools that professionals can bet their lives on,” said Shadow Zhang, HIKMICRO Overseas Brand Manager at HIKMICRO.
“We didn’t just want to create another thermal imager with the FP21; we wanted to build a symbol of reliability. ‘Born for Fire. Built for More’ isn’t just a tagline, it’s our promise that this dynamic new model, along with the established FP31, FB21, and FT31, will always deliver clarity and performance when and where it matters most.”
Unwavering precision and consistency
Such is the unwavering precision and consistency of the HIKMICRO firefighting range, it delivers far beyond the fire ground – safely identifying overheating electrical components, mechanical failures and insulation leaks to prevent industrial downtime and accidents; speedy technical/people search and rescue, day or night, in urban disaster zones and vast mountain wilderness settings, as well as patrolling dark and deep areas with ease and detecting intrusions and concealed threats not visible to the naked eye in security and maritime settings.
