FLIR Introduces Scion Thermal Monocular for Public Safety Professionals at SHOT Show 2019

The FLIR thermal product portfolio for public safety agencies is now more extensive than before with the addition of the FLIR Scion^™ Professional Thermal Monocular (PTM). The Scion PTM is powered by FLIR’s high-performance Boson^® thermal core for greater image quality and features connectivity with FLIR TruWITNESS^® to allow real-time encrypted thermal video streaming to provide professionals with greater situational awareness.

The Scion PTM allows users to quickly detect objects with greater detail and offer clear vision in low visibility conditions. Available in a 60 hertz refresh rate, the Scion PTM features two gigabytes of internal storage and a microSD^™ card slot to record both geotagged video or still images for later playback. Additional features include, picture-in-picture zoom, global positioning system (GPS) functionality, and both Bluetooth^® and Wi-Fi capabilities to allow simple file transfer between devices.

When linked with the FLIR TruWITNESS wearable sensor platform built for city-level security and public safety operations, Scion PTM combines video, audio, and location data to allow organizations to stream thermal footage of any pursuit, evidence recovery, or search and rescue effort to the command center via wireless network.  

The Scion PTM, which replaces the FLIR H-Series monocular thermal cameras, is available now in the United States starting at $3,295 MSRP through established FLIR dealers. For more information, visit FLIR.com/scion.
