  • What’s the Difference Between Gen 2 and Gen 3 Night Vision?

    Night vision has come a long way in the decades since its invention, and currently available devices can be classified into three distinct generations, defined primarily by the type of image intensifier tube used for the night vision device. An image intensifier tube (in technical terms) is а vасuum-ѕеаlеd tube containing а рhоtосаthоdе, mісrо-сhаnnеl рlаtе, and а рhоѕрhоr ѕсrееn that gives the device night vision capabilities. In simple terms, the image intensifier tube is what makes night vision possible. FLIR supplies Gen 2 and Gen 3 night vision equipment. Both these generations represent a huge leap in quality from the first generation of night vision - Gen 2 devices are much closer in performance to Gen 3 than Gen 1. For comparison purposes we have highlighted the differences between Gen 2 and Gen 3 Image Intensification.

  • Can You See Toxic Emissions with Thermal Cameras?

    Most gases—methane, sulfur hexafluoride (SF6), carbon monoxide, and hundreds of others—are invisible to the naked eye, just like the gases in the air around us. But can they be seen with a thermal camera? The answer is yes—sometimes. Most thermal imagers can’t directly detect gases, but Optical Gas Imaging cameras are highly specialized thermal cameras that are spectrally filtered to visualize specific gas emissions.

  • Four Reasons Security Managers Should Deploy Counter-UAS Solutions

    For security managers, drones pose an entirely novel threat, as the technology used in one application for infrastructure maintenance can be easily refitted to cripple any number of facility operations in another. Because of this, Counter UAS (C-UAS) devices have become an increasingly essential part of an end-to-end security solution. Built to detect, identify, locate, track, and then mitigate both ground-based and aerial threats, C-UAS perimeter intrusion detection systems (PIDS) layer industry-leading thermal sensors and radar devices to deliver robust, round-the-clock security capabilities for facilities of every kind, in any weather condition. Below are four reasons why security managers should invest in Teledyne FLIR C-UAS solutions.
