FLIR

K2

FLIR is on a mission to make high quality thermal imaging cameras standard issue equipment for every member of a fire crew. The FLIR K2 makes that possible by providing capability, ruggedness, and reliability at an affordable price.

With features such as Multi-Spectral Dynamic Imaging (MSX), easy-to-use buttons, and operability in temperatures up to 500°F, the K2 is a small investment that pays big dividends–saving lives, protecting property, and ensuring firefighter safety.


The K2

K2

Personal TIC

The FLIR K2 is a rugged, reliable, and economical thermal imaging camera specially designed for firefighting applications and severe conditions. This camera displays 160 × 120 pixel thermal images that help firefighters gain additional situational awareness that is not possible with the naked eye.

It features Multi-Spectral Dynamic Imaging (MSX), an easy-to-use button, and the ability to operate in temperatures up to 500°C. The FLIR K2 Situational Awareness TIC is a small investment that pays big dividends - saving lives, protecting property, and ensuring firefighter safety

The K2 makes high-quality thermal imaging more accessible so more first responders can help save lives and protect property.This economical thermal imager uses FLIRs MSX technology helping firefighters identify structures and surroundings without compromising temperature data. Its compact, lightweight and water resistant. The lightweight camera attaches easily to turnouts, and offers simplified, single-button controls that can be used with heavy gloves.
