FLIR Announces New ThermoSight and FlashSight Thermal Imaging Scopes

Compact thermal imagers for search, surveillance and SWAT-team use

FLIR’s compact ThermoSight and FlashSight are thermal imaging scopes that allow you to see in total darkness. Suspects can’t easily hide their heat, so you can see them when they might otherwise be camouflaged by darkness or their surroundings. When you search for suspects with flashlights or searchlights, they know where you are, and where you are looking. This can make you a target. With a FLIR thermal imager you remain covert, increasing your safety.

You can quickly identify recently-parked cars, find objects discarded at a crime scene, and see through smoke and light fog. FLIR’s
FlashSight and ThermoSight use the same technology that the airborne law enforcement crews use to support you overhead.

ThermoSight and FlashSight are the only lightweight thermal imagers with “instant on” operation that can save 70 still images to internal storage for download through a USB cable. What’s more, live video can be displayed on any standard TV monitor.

The ThermoSight package includes a rail mount adapter for use as a thermal weapon sight and an adjustable on-screen reticule for bore sighting. ThermoSight is ideally suited for SWAT use and can double as a hand held thermal scope.
