Description:
The FLIR K53 offers the reliable clarity and performance firefighters need to work quickly and safely in the smokiest environments. This TIC features FSX™ Flexible Scene Enhancement, which intensifies structural and textural details in thermal images. Thanks to the K53's enhanced perspective and orientation, firefighters gain better situational awareness as well as a greater sense of confidence and safety.
One glove-friendly button starts the K53 in TI-Basic mode, while one trigger-pull captures stills or records video.
320 × 240 resolution, a 60 Hz frame rate, and a bright 4" LCD all help you see more in smokey conditions.
The K53's affordable price helps fire and rescue departments get essential tools into the hands of those who could use them most.
