FLIR Scout III 640 Thermal Imaging Camera

The FLIR Scout III 640 is a handheld thermal imaging camera for people who want to perform thermal observations over long distances. You don't see it? The Scout 640 does! This high-tech thermal imaging camera makes it possible to detect heat up to a distance of 1140 meters. The Scout III 640 provides a clear and sharp image from early morning to late evening, and in the middle of the night. Because infrared heat is used, the image is always the same, both during the day and in complete darkness. The unit is so compact that it easily fits in one hand and can also be operated with just one hand. This makes it ideal for security guards, emergency services, customs officers, hikers, safari, farmers, hunting, or paintball.

Difference from night vision devices

The advantage over night vision equipment is that with thermal imaging equipment you can also easily see if something (or someone) is in the woods. It also gives you the ability to see heat trails, for example. Think of a recently driven away car or a handprint on a certain object. Wounded game can also be easily traced by the left-behind heat trail. No light whatsoever is needed to have a clear image with a thermal imaging camera. The 30Hz refresh rate ensures very smooth images.

InstAlert function

How you want warm objects to be displayed is entirely up to you! Choose from three different color palettes (see specifications). The Scout III 640 is equipped with the so-called "InstAlert" technology, among other features. With the push of a button, the warmest object is then displayed in red. This makes it very easy to track the desired target.
