The FLIR Scout Difference
FLIR Scout Night Vision Cameras differ from typical night vision scopes and goggles since they don’t make images from visible light. To get a good image from a traditional night camera, subjects need to have good light contrast. However, when subjects are overlit and are oversaturated with light, things become washed out and unclear. That’s where FLIR Scout Thermal Night Vision cameras work better! Using their thermal imaging technology, FLIR's Scout cameras are not dependent on visible light. Thermal cameras detect heat; and the more heat, the more contrast. That means unlike traditional night vision cameras, FLIR Scout thermal night vision cameras can see through objects that reflect light, such smoke, fog and rain!
So, before the next time you head out on an outdoor adventure, we recommend taking a FLIR Scout thermal night vision camera with you! Experience what you’ve never seen before in complete darkness.
