Argus P7250 F-Type Camera with 50 Degree Field of View

The Argus F-Type Specialist Search camera is the latest generation of the highly successful Argus® thermal Imaging cameras from e2v technologies. It has been specifically designed to help police and security personnel to detect heat signatures required in specialist search operations.

The Argus  F-Type can be used in conditions of zero visibility including complete darkness, and smoke. Because the energy being sensed is heat rather than light, the camera can be used in both day and night operations. The Argus ® F-Type is very sensitive, detecting temperature variations lower than 50mK is ideal for a series of applications.

The Argus F-Type is a simple-to-operate, self-contained and robust camera which can be used in a fully automatic mode of operation. A semi-automatic mode is also available for the more specialist applications. The camera is also lightweight and ergonomic and capable of withstanding harsh environments.

The Argus F-Type uses a 320 x 240 pixel Amorphous Silicon (ASi) Microbolometer Detector. It has been designed using advanced digital imaging technology for a sharper picture and provides superior performance.

THE F TYPE IS A FULL-SPEC THERMAL IMAGING CAMERA, SPECIFICALLY DESIGNED FOR SPECIALIST SEARCH

Argus® is an e2v brand focused on designing  and manufacturing the highest quality thermal  imaging cameras on the market.

Argus thermal imaging technology is a cost-effective addition  to your law enforcement team, enabling of?cers to observe a  scene from a distance without revealing their location.
  Argus Handheld Thermal Imaging Cameras (TICS) are essential  in the ?ght against crime, especially at night or in zero visibility  conditions. The Argus F Type can identify criminals that are  camou?aged or hiding in shadows or bushes, otherwise invisible  to the naked eye.

Argus cameras are designed and manufactured using European  sourced components, allowing the cameras to be available to  the wider export market, and are not subject to the USA ITAR  controls (UK export applies).

  The Argus F Type can be customized to suit the needs of your  team, including upgrades and accessories to ensure you get  the most from your thermal imaging camera.
  Void Finder Technology™
When selected, this clever automatic function helps the user to scan an area (e.g. walls or equipment inside of a room) looking for anything unusual (e.g. electronic equipment that may have been embedded, any voids within a wall or any area of a wall that may have been tampered with).

Enhanced Dynamic Scene Colourization (EDSC)
Image Compare Technology
This mode allows the user to fix the camera’s dynamic range to image and compare scenes in real time. A house being investigated as a suspected drug factory can be viewed with the camera and then, using the image compare mode, view a neighboring house using the same dynamic range setting. If the image gets darker, it implies that the first (suspected) house is much hotter, contributing to evidence that the house could be a residential drug factory.

SceneSave™
Digital image capture and storage of a 100 images with optional video capture is available.

Dimmable LCD Display
X2 and X4 Zoom
x2 digital zoom allows the user to get closer to the scene for improved investigation, identification and surveillance. 320×240 sensor models also have x4 digital zoom for even better magnification.

On Screen Set-up Menu
The Argus F Type on-screen menu allows the user or organization to adjust various camera settings using the menu buttons.

Customizable Start-up Screen
Organization names and logos can be displayed at power-up for asset tracking and/or personalization.

Direct Temperature Measurement (DTM)™
DTM displays the temperature of objects within a defined area at the centre of the thermal scene.

Time and Date
The current time and date is displayed at the top of the viewing screen and on all recorded images and videos.

Argus have been working alongside firefighters for over 30 years and with this wealth of knowledge we have designed thermal imaging cameras specifically to meet the demands of fire and rescue situations.

Our unrivaled image quality and extended dynamic range provides a perfect mix enabling users to navigate through smoke with perfect clarity, easily identify casualties, identify the seat of the fire and assess the fire dangers and the effectiveness of cooling efforts with our detailed temperature gauge.

Our infrared cameras combine unrivaled technology and functions to make it easier for the firefighter to identify the source and spread of a fire, prevent further fire hazards using the capability to examine containers storing hazardous or flammable materials and even detect hidden fires in cavity walls, floors and ceiling voids.

The lightweight design and reliability make it a highly practical tool for applications outside of live exercises, they can be used as an incredible training tool to asses firefighting techniques during drills.

Key Applications:

• See in zero visibility
• Significantly improve safety and mobility
• Monitor temperatures for preventative maintenance and condition monitoring of equipment
• Fire Prevention surveys
• Monitoring the effectiveness of cooling
• Searching for a person in deep water
• Examining containers storing hazardous or flammable materials
• Road Traffic accidents
• Predict potential of flash over
• Locating the seat and spread of a fire
• Searching for casualties
• Analyzing the effectiveness of attack
• Overhaul
• Pre Qualification
• See through dense smoke and in darkness
• Detect and display the relevant temperatures of objects within the scene
• Moving swiftly in search and rescue of casualties
