Zistos ExplorerSCOPE™

Zistos ExplorerSCOPE™ is a rapidly deployable search camera system that can be inserted through openings as small as 10 mm in diameter to look for victims following a collapse. The ExplorerSCOPE combines an internal laser light source coupled with electronically enhanced low-light video processing that can generate images of objects and individuals as far as 40 feet away in pitch darkness. A battery-powered, four-way articulated video system that features a semi-rigid flex-and-stay guide tube, it can maintain a horizontal position to span a gap when inserted into a void space. www.zistos.com, 631-434-1370

FLIR Systems

FLIR Systems, Inc. FLIR ONE thermal imaging phone accessory is a value-added bonus with the purchase of a FLIR K40 or K50 thermal imaging camera (TIC) through the end of 2014. FLIR K-Series cameras are high-resolution thermal imagers, specifically designed for extreme heat and smoky conditions. Both the K40 and K50 offer a bright LCD display for visibility, simple operation, image storage, and easy toggling between five imaging modes to optimize sensitivity for higher or lower temperature ranges. The FLIR ONE is a lightweight accessory that transforms an iPhone 5 or 5s into a thermal imager that can detect and display invisible heat energy. Although the FLIR ONE is not designed to be used in extreme temperature environments, it can be helpful for scanning exteriors for hotspots during the overhaul phase, detecting heat signatures during outdoor rescue efforts, and as a fire prevention inspection tool. www.flir.com/k-seriesoffer, 877-773-3547
