About the FlashSight

A Shock Resistant, Dual Purpose, Thermal Imaging Scope for Handheld Use. This unit provides mobility and just the ideal addition to nighttime surveillance and security.

Designed for the demanding requirements of today's law enforcement and paramilitary professionals, FlashSight's small size, low weight, and affordable price make it the obvious choice for short range imaging applications in daylight or total darkness.

The ThermoVision FlashSight is a low cost, lightweight thermal imager packed with features and purpose built for the security market. The FlashSight features instant-on imaging and sees in total darkness, fog, smoke, and most obscurants. It has a bellows eyecup for covert operation and is easy to operate.

** Please Note that the FlashSight is NOT available in 9Hz Export Version.

In-Depth Look at the FlashSight

Rugged, Portable, and Easy to Use: FlashSight is designed for field use, with simple intuitive controls. It turns on at an instant, and delivers crisp thermal imagery without constant adjustment. A variety of automatic image management features deliver sharply contrasted scenes.

Lens Options: Wide and narrow lenses are available depending on your appliction.

Standard Batteries: FlashSight uses commercially available AA batteries, so no special chargers are required.

Video Output: FlashSight provides a standard NTSC (or optional PAL) video output which allows operators to display thermal imagery on a standard monitor. This can offer additional mission flexibility for long duration surveillance, or temporary fixed installations. The system can be configured with an AC power supply for continuous operation.

Optional Image Capture:
FlashSight can capture and internally store up to 70 images at a time.

FlashSight Detection, Range, Identification (DRI)
Detection   Identification  
FlashSight: 30mm Lens
> 2000' 
> 900'
FlashSight: 50mm Lens
> 3200' 
> 1600' 
  • Human DRI Human DRI
  • Vehicle DRI Vehicle DRI
  • Boat DRI Inflatable Boat DRI
The Johnson Criteria assumes that the critical dimension for a human being is 0.75 meters. To get DRI, you need 1.5 pixels, 6 pixels and 12 pixels across 0.75 meters in the object pane. That means:

Detection = 1.5 pixels / 0.75m = 2 pixels per meter
Recognition = 6 pixels / 0.75m = 8 pixels per meter
Identification = 12 pixels / 0.75m = 16 pixels per meter

Assuming that a man is 1.83m by 0.5m, the following would apply:
Human Detection
Detection  
3.6 pixels by 1 pixel
(You can see something
is there)		 Human Recognition
Recognition  
13 pixels by 5 pixels
(You can see that a
person is there)		 Human Identification
Identification  
28.8 pixels by 8 pixels
(You can see that the
person looks like a soldier)

2.8 pixels by 1 pixel
(You can see something
is there)		 Vehicle Recognition
Recognition  
13 pixels by 5 pixels
(You can see that a
vehicle is there)		 Vehicle Identification

26 pixels by 10 pixels
(You can see that the
vehicle may be a humvee)

Assuming that a inflatable boat is 9m by 1m, the following would apply:
Boat Detection
Detection  
4.5 pixels by 1 pixel
(You can see something
is there)		 Boat Recognition
Recognition  
18 pixels by 2 pixels
(You can see that a
boat of some kind is there)		 Boat Identification
Identification  
36 pixels by 4 pixels
(You can see that the boat
is a small Inflatable Boat)
