NFPA 1930:2025-certified firefighting TIC · 640 × 480 · App-enabled
The FLIR K85-N gives firefighters clearer vision and greater confidence in smoke-filled, high-heat environments. Fully certified to NFPA 1930:2025, it combines sharp 640 × 480 resolution, enhanced contrast and a single-range imaging solution that reveals critical scene detail without switching ranges or losing situational awareness.
Certified for the latest standard
The K85-N carries NFPA 1930:2025 certification alongside an IP67 rating and a hazardous-location rating. P/N 18703-0301.
Fully certified to NFPA 1930:2025, the K85-N gives departments a future-ready firefighting TIC aligned with the newest standard.FLIR, on the K85-N
The certification sits on a camera engineered for frontline firefighting: rugged IP67-rated construction, 2-meter drop resistance and high-heat performance, with thermal visibility optimized for low-light and smoke-obscured environments. Purpose-built firefighting modes help crews adapt to changing conditions on the fireground.
