FLIR
K55
The K55 displays crisp thermal images on a bright LCD, helping you navigate better and expedite critical decisions. The 320 x 240 pixel IR sensor and FSX™ Flexible Scene Enhancement produce detail-rich imagery at a 60 Hz frame rate that keeps up with the action.
K55
Thermal Imaging Camera for Firefighters
The FLIR K55 allows firefighters to see more clearly in the harshest environments, maneuver more strategically, stay better oriented, and find victims faster.
This camera displays 320 x 240 pixel thermal images and can record up to 200 jpegs and/or video clips. Featuring FSX® Flexible Scene Enhancement technology, the K55 produces ultra-sharp, fine textured images that show subtler details, allowing firefighters to see far more than is possible with the naked eye.
The K55 enables first responders to find their way through the darkest environments, identify targets in extreme temperature settings, and make better decisions when seconds count.
CRISP, CLEAR IMAGERY
The maintenance-free sensor produces detail-rich 320 x 240 pixels thermal images to help you navigate easier in smokey conditions.
IN-CAMERA VIDEO STORAGE
Store up to 200 photos or video files that can be played-back in-camera or from a computer for later analysis.
EXPANDED WARRANTY
K55 cameras are protected by FLIR's 2-5-10 Warranty: 2 years for batteries, 5 for the camera, and 10 years for the detector.
