The primary task of field search and rescue professionals is to locate dead, missing, ill, or injured persons, including in remote or inaccessible areas such as mountains, deserts, or forests, or in maritime areas whether close to the coast or not. Searches can be carried out in a variety of ways, sometimes using air support.

Thermal cameras onboard search helicopters can seamlessly detect other human activity at long distances in order to find victims before accidents occur. Thermal imaging cameras do the job well at night, on land, in the air, or at sea.

Whenever someone is stranded on a cold mountainside, in dense woods, or on a dark night, time is of the essence and a thermal imaging camera is needed. Portable thermal imaging cameras are ideal for outdoor sports and search and rescue! Let's take a look at the characteristics and application cases of infrared thermal imaging cameras.

Infrared cameras capture clear thermal images and utilize a sophisticated user interface to quickly detect objects in complete darkness and through dazzling light or fog. Thermal imaging cameras can record geotagged video and still images for playback at the end of the day. The rugged IP67-rated enclosure and intuitive controls allow one-handed operation in harsh weather conditions for reliable thermal imaging in the most demanding outdoor environments.

Rugged, handheld portable thermal imaging equipment equips first responders with exceptional high-performance thermal imaging. Capable of geo-tagged video recording and real-time video transmission, any search and rescue operation can be wirelessly transmitted to the command center to facilitate rescue operations.

1. When an accident occurs in the waters such as ship damage and personnel falling into the water, due to the large area of water, it is difficult to search with the naked eye. However, there is a large difference between the temperature of the human body and the temperature of the water.

Thermal imaging can quickly find the drowning person on the water surface, quickly locate the person, and start rescue work immediately. At the same time, thermal imaging is not affected by severe weather such as completely dark nights and heavy fog and can carry out water search and rescue work around the clock.

2. When carrying out search and rescue work in open areas such as the wild, due to the open area, the search task is difficult, and the victims cannot be found in time. Then, OTM has a wide field of vision and can enhance night vision in a completely dark environment. The ability to find victims in the first place. And it's compact, lightweight, and easy to use, giving you a clear view of your surroundings, even in reduced visibility.

3. Many warm-blooded animals are mostly nocturnal, and they use the cover of darkness to stay undetected, but even in complete darkness, Clear thermal imaging capabilities quickly detect animals in complete darkness, clearly displayed in the thermal image.

Infrared thermal imaging cameras have a wide range of applications in field search and rescue due to their sensitivity and accuracy. If you want to know more about thermal imaging cameras after reading the above, please continue to pay attention to our news.
