Argus™ Thermal Imaging CameraArgus™ Thermal Imaging Camera

The new lighter, robust Argus™4 Thermal Imaging Camera

The new Argus™4 thermal imaging camera takes thermal imaging usability to a new level.  At only 1.5kg the camera is extremely lightweight and the ergonomic design of the camera's body makes it very comfortable to use.  This little thermal image camera provides practical usability without compromising comfort, safety and durability. 

Practical and Intelligent

Not only is it compact, it is also capable with a x2 zoom, storage for up to 100 images and spot and ambient temperature measurements as standard features.  In addition it has a 13 colour screen display option as well as the ability to customise the camera settings to a fire fighter’s own personal preference. 

Argus™ Thermal Imaging CameraRugged

To ensure it can withstand the tough environments fire fighters have to operate in, the Argus™4 thermal image camera has a ruggedised, high quality Radel casing.  It was specially chosen because of its strength, resistance to heat, water and impact.  It can also withstand driving spray and short-term immersion in water to a depth of 1 metre – as well as survive a 2 metre drop test and naturally tolerate high temperatures - it really is a tough little camera.
