Thermal imaging cameras use infrared technology to detect the temperature differences or levels of heat objects emit and displays a thermal image of the objects in real time. Thermal imaging is used to “see” the invisible light that heat emits, that the human eye cannot see. Everything with a temperature above absolute zero emits heat, a thermal imaging camera is a excellent tool in rescue operations for finding victims of fire or locating lost hikers.

Constant, clear communications is often the most important component of a complete, well-equipped safety program in any industrial setting or first responder emergency. Constant contact with safety personnel and rescue squad is often the difference between a successful operation and failure. Communications systems can consist of various components, including portable radios, facepiece integrated radio interfaces, and Bluetooth-enabled technologies that allow for wireless communications over shorter distances.

Locators are a new technology to the fire services use primarily as a personnel accountability system to locate trapped or downed firefighters, utilizing a personal-issue transmitter that automatically emits a 2.4 GHz radio frequency to a hand held receiver once a firefighter is motionless for 30 seconds or is manually triggered by a trapped or lost firefighter.

A range of accessories are available to support the Accountability Product Line.
