Description
The FLIR K33 Thermal Imaging Camera is a rugged, easy-to-operate firefighter TIC designed to provide clear thermal visibility in smoke, darkness, and demanding fireground conditions. With simplified controls and a large display, the K33 gives firefighters essential thermal imaging capability without unnecessary complexity.
The K33 features a 240 × 180 thermal detector, smooth 60 Hz image frequency, and FLIR FSX® Flexible Scene Enhancement. FSX® enhances edges and fine details within the thermal image, helping firefighters better recognize structural features, objects, and surroundings in low-visibility environments.
A large 4-inch backlit LCD provides a clear thermal image, while the simplified operating design allows firefighters to start the camera in TI Basic firefighting mode with the press of a button. A trigger pull can be used to freeze the thermal image on the display for quick evaluation.
Built for severe fireground environments, the FLIR K33 features an IP67 enclosure, withstands a 6.6 ft (2 m) drop onto concrete, and is designed to operate at temperatures up to 500°F (260°C) for up to 5 minutes.
The FLIR K33 includes the infrared camera, two rechargeable batteries, battery charger, hard transport case, power supply, retractable lanyard, carabiner strap, USB cable, and printed documentation.
