  • FLIR TrafiOne Wins the 2020 Road Safety Innovation Award

    The Road Safety Commission is committed to improving road safety in France, and their yearly Innovation Award recognizes technology and advancements that help protect road users and improve infrastructure. FLIR received the Innovation Award in 2020 for the FLIR TrafiOne smart city sensor. This camera detects vulnerable road users at pedestrian crossings and intersections, enabling warning signals to be activated or managing traffic light cycles to prevent accidents.

  • Defense Technologies Media Roundtable

    This virtual roundtable is a discussion on the technology and customer trends being driven by multidomain operations (MDO).

  • Visible vs. Thermal Security Cameras – Which One Do You Need?

    Surveillance cameras capture images that help security personnel track intruders as well as verify incidents and classify incidents. Getting effective image quality begins with choosing the right sensor or camera. Two common options are visible and thermal cameras—both are essential for distinct reasons. Here are the key differences and scenarios for using visible and thermal cameras in end-to-end security solutions.  

  • FLIR Systems Announces Upgraded FLIR identiFINDER R440, Next-Generation Handheld Radionuclide Identification Device

    FLIR Systems, Inc. (NASDAQ: FLIR) has announced the launch of the upgraded FLIR identiFINDER® R440, the next-generation of its field-trusted premium handheld radiation detection system. The new identiFINDER R440 delivers dramatically improved resolution and sensitivity, so operators can identify and respond to radiological threats faster and with greater accuracy.

  • FLIR Announces First Extech Non-Contact High Voltage Detector for Greater Personal Safety

    FLIR Systems today announced the availability of the Extech DV690 its first non-contact high voltage detector with a detection range of up to 69,000 volts (69 kV). The industrial-grade DV690 provides early warning alerts of energized electrical components for utility lineworkers, telecommunications installers, first responders, search and rescue teams, and tree removal services.

  • Industry First Foresight ADAS/AV Thermal Camera Auto Calibration Enables Accurate 3D Perception Day or Night

    To aid in crucial 3D depth perception, Foresight, part of the Thermal by FLIR® program and an automotive vision systems innovator, has achieved the ability to create a cost-effective 3D perception system through QuadSight®, a multi-spectral vision solution. This solution combines data from two FLIR Boson® thermal imaging cameras and two visible-light cameras, each as stereo pairs, respectively. 

  • Growing Beyond Earth and Learning Beyond the Classroom With Thermal Imaging

    With the right mindset, anyone of any age can be a scientist. That’s what James Falletti is teaching his sixth graders through a research program called “Growing Beyond Earth,” which gives them the opportunity to test the viability of different plants for growing aboard a space station. Armed with the scientific method and specialized measurement tools like a FLIR ONE camera, these students are collecting data that might one day determine what crops are grown in outer space.

  • Is It Time to Upgrade Your FLIR Thermal Camera?

    When initially dipping their toes into the thermal camera waters, most first-time buyers look at the easy-to-use FLIR ONE. For someone that needs a thermal camera for quick checks once in a while, the FLIR ONE Pro or FLIR ONE Pro LT are great options. For those requiring thermography for regular usage at least a few times a week, if not multiple times per day, taking the next step to a dedicated thermal imaging camera can provide the additional efficiency and functionality required to improve productivity. Deciding on what thermal camera to buy comes down to matching the right features for the job.

  • FLIR Adds New Advanced Features to United VMS with 9.0.1 Update

    Following the release of FLIR United Video Management System 9.0 (United VMS) in August 2020, today FLIR announced the global availability of United VMS 9.0.1 with new advanced features. The latest platform update offers further streamlined access to system status and alarms around the clock for security teams to react to threat activities faster, while enjoying improved reporting and cybersecurity functionality.

  • Can Thermal Imaging See Through Fog and Rain?

    Thermal imaging cameras see in total darkness, producing clear, crisp images without the need for any light. This makes IR cameras excellent instruments for numerous night vision applications. Although thermal imaging cameras can see in total darkness, through light fog, light rain, and snow, the distance they can see is affected by these atmospheric conditions.

  • Researchers Develop Search and Rescue Technology That Sees Through Forest with Thermal Imaging

    A team of researchers at Johannes Kepler University in Austria released a paper published in Nature Machine Intelligence that describes a technique called airborne optical sectioning (AOS), which allows an aerial imager to see through occlusions like a forest canopy. The team, headed by Professor Oliver Bimber, achieved an accurate classification rate of over 90% using a drone equipped with a FLIR Vue Pro thermal imaging camera and a machine learning algorithm trained to identify humans below. 

  • The Complete Thermal Firefighting System

    Firefighters depend on a number of technologies to help them in fire situations, search and rescue operations, wildland fires, and scenarios when they are battling hazardous chemical leaks. When entering a structure with a lot of smoke and little to no-visibility, thermal imaging can give sight to help analyze and assess the situation, identify obstacles, and help save lives. FLIR offers a number of solutions for fire departments and their firefighters for all aspects of their jobs.
