PORTLAND, OR, Jul 13 (MARKET WIRE) --
FLIR Systems' (NASDAQ: FLIR) Commercial Vision Systems Division announced
today the launch of its new H-Series line of hand-held law enforcement
thermal imaging cameras. Purpose-built for the law enforcement community,
H-Series cameras feature several powerful new tactical features and four
times the resolution of competing systems.
H-Series thermal cameras let users see things other technologies miss.
With prices starting at $4,999, law enforcement agencies can afford to
equip every officer with the powerful tactical advantages that H-Series
thermal cameras provide compared to legacy night vision devices. H-Series
development capitalized on FLIR's recently introduced Tau(TM) thermal
camera core which is lower cost, lighter weight, smaller, and uses less
power than any previous camera core.
FLIR has long been a pioneer in law enforcement thermal imaging, and --
with 860,000 law enforcement officers in the U.S. alone -- the
feature-rich H-Series is positioned to expand this vital market.
"The H-Series is an outstanding example of FLIR's ongoing strategy to
expand new markets for thermal imaging by reducing costs and offering
innovative new products through broad distribution channels. FLIR
revolutionized airborne law enforcement operations 30 years ago, and today
we are bringing the same capability to the officers on the ground," stated
Earl Lewis, President and CEO of FLIR Systems.
