lobal industrial imaging leader, HIKMICRO, is pioneering an
all-encompassing range of reliable and durable infrared thermal cameras, proven
to perform on a consistent basis in even mission critical industries and applications. Their technologically advanced range of firefighting thermal imagers is the most recent to benefit and such is its unwavering precision and consistency it delivers far beyond the fire ground – safely identifying overheating electrical components, mechanical failures and insulation leaks to prevent industrial downtime and accidents, as well as patrolling dark and deep areas with ease and detecting intrusions and concealed threats not visible to the naked eye in security and maritime settings. The new, uncompromising and highly affordable FP21 pocket-sized thermal imager is the latest essential tool for such firefighting operations. Designed for rapid deployment, its compact form factor and bright 3.2” LCD screen ensure instant intelligence is always on hand, providing critical information within seconds. Advanced SuperIR technology cuts through obscurants like smoke, dust, and darkness to reveal hidden threat hotspots and details that would otherwise be missed - providing stunning clarity in the most challenging environments.
Housed in impact-resistant PPSU polymer and boasting an IP67 rating, the FP21 is completely dustproof and waterproof. It withstands extreme radiant heat exposure of up to 260°C (500°F), ensuring operation where other devices would

fail, while scene-adaptive functionality in the form of Automatic Gain Control (AGC) and Optimized Detail Enhancement (ODE), optimises imagery across diverse scenes without having to adjust equipment.
The FP21 supplements the work of the more advanced (but still pocket-sized and extra rugged for firegrounds and beyond) FP31, which has a visual rather than thermal lens and higher resolution, field of view, object temperature range and storage capacity. It is also equipped with two laser modules, in the form of a visible laser pointer for intuitive target marking, plus a
“In the heart of an inferno, where pressure is crushing, heat is intense, and visibility is zero, a thermal imager must do more than just work - it must endure.”
