Car Night Vision Camera Flir PathFindIR
Overview
Description
Flir PathFindIR is a compact night vision camera developed to reduce night driving
troublesome situations by detecting potential danger on the way and ensuring more time for the driver to react to any hazard.
Car night vision camera helps you to recognize pedestrians, animals or another
objects under poor visibility conditions such as total darkness, smoke, rain, fog* and snow*.
*Visibility distance of the night vision camera decreases twice in fog or heavy snow
How PathFindIR Car Night Vision Camera Works
Thermal imager detects the object infrared radiation and transforms it with a special algorithm into the analog video signal. Infrared (thermal) radiation is emitted by all objects including bodies with a low temperature. The system allows driver to see without any additional lighting and provides real-time imaging at any speed.
Features
- Excellent image qualityunder any weather conditions no matter is it night or day.
- Wide-angle lens. The PathFindIR is equipped with 19 mm wide angle lens. It gives you an extremely wide field of view, resulting in excellent situational awareness.
- Designed for use in harsh environments. PathFindIR is extremely shockproof. It stands 5 strokes of 30g in 2 directions on 3 axes. Its vital core is well protected against humidity and water. The PathFindIR operates between -40°C and +80°C. The camera is equipped with heater which would defrost 2 mm of ice within 15 minutes at -30°C and wind speed of 100 km/h.
- Compact and easy to install. Extremely compact and lightweight PathFindIR can be easily integrated in any vehicle (behind a vehicle grill or in any other compact location).
