FB21
The HIKMICRO FB21 is a rugged, compact firefighting thermal camera designed to provide rapid situational awareness in the most challenging conditions. Engineered for interior attack teams and search-and-rescue operations, it offers high-quality 256 × 192 thermal imaging in a lightweight, thumb-operable design. Whether navigating a smoke-filled structure or performing a post-fire overhaul, the FB21 ensures that critical hotspots and victims are identified with speed and precision.
Key Professional Advantages
High-Resolution Thermal Clarity: Equipped with a 256 × 192 sensor (49,152 pixels) and a sensitivity of NETD < 40 mK, the FB21 delivers clear, detailed imagery. This level of resolution is essential for distinguishing structural elements from heat signatures in low-visibility environments.
Fluid 25 Hz Refresh Rate: Experience smooth, responsive imaging while scanning rooms or tracking moving targets. The 25 Hz frame rate ensures that firefighters receive real-time visual feedback without the "stutter" found in lower-end models.
Specialized Firefighting Palettes: The FB21 features 8 dedicated color modes, including Fire Detection (highlights the seat of the fire) and Rescue (optimizes contrast to find victims). These presets allow for instant adaptation to the phase of the operation.
Ruggedized for Extreme Heat: Built for the frontline, the FB21 is IP65-rated and can operate in ambient temperatures of 90°C (194°F) for up to 10 minutes or 115°C (239°F) for up to 2 minutes, giving responders the buffer needed for interior tactical assessments.
Glove-Friendly Ergonomics: The simple three-button interface and lightweight 380g design are specifically balanced for one-handed use, even with heavy structural firefighting gloves.
