Mobile Video Co. to Promote Flir IR Camera for Night Driving

Facebook X LinkedIn Email
Safety Vision, a Houston mobile video company, announced today an agreement with Flir Systems Inc., a Boston-based maker of thermal imaging cameras, to promote Flir's PathFindIR infrared camera designed to make night driving safer. Safety Vision said the strategy will allow both companies to expand into the fire/rescue/emergency medical sector and the commercial trucking and mining industries. Rex Colorado, vice president of sales and new product development at Safety Vision, said, “This agreement enables us to be the first mobile video company to offer a truly integrated solution of this caliber to our customers. Initially, infrared systems were cost prohibitive, but changes in technology and volume production have brought costs down." The PathFindIR enables first responders and other drivers to see in total darkness, smoke, dust, rain, snow and light fog, Flir said. "Vehicle headlight systems provide between 250 to 450 feet of moderate illumination, giving most drivers traveling at 60 miles an hour less than 4 seconds to react, it said. "By contrast, the Flir system increases the line of sight five times farther than headlight beams; so under the same conditions, the driver has more than 15 seconds to react to roadway and onsite hazards."

Glossary
nano
An SI prefix meaning one billionth (10-9). Nano can also be used to indicate the study of atoms, molecules and other structures and particles on the nanometer scale. Nano-optics (also referred to as nanophotonics), for example, is the study of how light and light-matter interactions behave on the nanometer scale. See nanophotonics.
photonics
The technology of generating and harnessing light and other forms of radiant energy whose quantum unit is the photon. The science includes light emission, transmission, deflection, amplification and detection by optical components and instruments, lasers and other light sources, fiber optics, electro-optical instrumentation, related hardware and electronics, and sophisticated systems. The range of applications of photonics extends from energy generation to detection to communications and...
