Bullard's newest thermal imaging cameras X factor image clarity and 8 hours of battery run time

Bullard’s newest line of thermal imaging cameras (TICs)—the XT Series—features the NXT (with NFPA 1801-2013 Certification) and the QXT. Both TICs are equipped with Bullard’s X Factor image clarity technology and provide the fire service with the industry’s longest battery run time of more than eight hours of continuous use. The NXT and QXT models come standard with Bullard’s five-year, industry-leading warranty on the TIC and the battery.

Both models are equipped with an ultra-high-performance LCD display, which greatly increases brightness and contrast, letting firefighters see more clearly in smoke and direct sunlight. The NXT and QXT TICs are ergonomically designed like the popular form factor of the Bullard LDX. This distinguishable lightweight design allows the TIC to fit comfortably in the palm of a firefighter’s gloved hand. The NXT and QXT are available with a 240×180 or 320×240 resolution infrared engine.

To learn more about the new XT Series, stop by Bullard’s FDIC International 2018 Booth #1213 or visit www.thermalimager.com.
