Thermal imaging cameras

FLIR Systems is extending its trade-in program that allows fire departments to receive better deals on the purchase of a new FLIR K-Series thermal imaging camera. Source: Timberbiz

This is possible by trading in and sending in any other qualifying make or model of firefighting thermal camera.

The extended trade-in program includes a discount of $250 off the list price of the K40, and $500 off the price of a new K50.

To qualify for this discount, fire departments need to trade in and send in their existing firefighting thermal imaging camera to the local FLIR distributor, regardless of the camera’s age, make, or model and regardless of whether the camera is working or not.

The goal is to make it more viable for more firefighters to take advantage of the benefits of thermal imaging on scene.

By being able to see through smoke and visualize hot spots, K-Series thermal imaging cameras help improve situational awareness and safety, which in turn helps first responders attack fires more strategically and enhances their ability to find and rescue victims faster.

FLIR Systems is giving two years of warranty on every handheld thermal FLIR K40/FLIR K50.

The uncooled microbolometer itself is covered by 10 years’ warranty.
