The camera is an ideal alternative to the flir ocean scout series. The flir scion otm260 is specifically designed for remote viewing in total darkness, in poor weather conditions and in the most challenging environments. With this portable monocular, you can see heat up to 560 meters away (according to johnson's criteria). The thermal imager has a 640x512 (12µm) boson detector and an optical magnification of 1x. With a digital zoom you can increase it to 2x, 4x and 8x. The device has gps, wi-fi, bluetooth and endless photo and video functions. The recordings can be easily transferred to another device via the integrated wi-fi and bluetooth or via the included usb cable. The thermal imaging camera has 2 gb of internal memory.

Due to the frame rate of 9 hz, this camera does not fall under the dual-use regulation, which allows it to be used internationally. Since a thermal imaging camera detects differences in heat, the scion otm260 is indispensable for detecting people who have gone into the water. Furthermore, a thermal imaging camera is not dependent on ambient light, so the viewer can be used in any situation (from daylight to complete darkness). Of course, you can also use this camera for any other application where you need to use thermal imaging to detect people, animals or objects.
