Description
Essential Thermal Imaging for Smarter Firefighting
The FLIR K45 delivers the thermal clarity and rugged reliability firefighters need—at a price that fits tight department budgets. This thermal imaging camera features a 240 × 180 pixel detector that displays crisp images on a large 4-inch LCD, allowing firefighters to quickly navigate dense smoke, locate victims, and assess fire conditions.
Like its K-Series counterparts, the K45 is equipped with FLIR’s patented FSX® Flexible Scene Enhancement. This technology sharpens thermal details by enhancing edges and textures, helping crews maintain situational awareness, even in chaotic environments.
