About the HRC-Series

The World's First Continuous Zoom, High Performance,
Long-Range Thermal Security Camera

The high resolution cooled HRC-Series of thermal imaging cameras are long-range thermal security cameras with a 640x480 pixel array that can detect heat signatures from a man-sized threat farther than 10 miles away.

Proven Thermal Security Camera

See in total darkness, through smoke, dust and light fog; when their cameras are at their worst, we are at our best. Night vision will never compare to the power of thermal cameras

Portable Stand-Alone System

Security operators can field the HRC-Series as a portable stand-alone system, or integrate it into a network of fixed-site sensors through the flexible Nexus server. It's Pelco D compatible, and supports RS-232 and RS-422 interface communications.

HRC Series In Depth

Maximum Range

The FLIR HRC 12.5:1 optical zoom ratio gives you the ability to reach out to targets far beyond the capability of any other thermal security camera in its class. HRC’s continuous zoom feature provides tactical benefts of immeasurable value. By not limiting the operator to two discrete felds-of-view, the HRC operator does not lose sight of the target while changing between zoom settings. What’s more, the operator can select the feld-of-view that meets the precise needs of the tactical environment, rather than having to make due with one that is too wide or too tight for their requirements

It's All About Range

FLIR designed the HRC from the ground up with one purpose in mind: to be the best long-range thermal security camera on the planet

HRC - The best from the ground up

Not all long-range thermal security cameras are created equal. There are lots of factors that impact a thermal camera’s ultimate range performance. Is the detector a high resolution 640x480 array or medium resolution 320x240 array? How big are the pixels? What is the focal length of the telescope? Were the detector and telescope designed to work together from day one, or are they unmatched assemblies from different vendors? Does the thermal camera offer Digital Detail Enhancement? Does the thermal camera provide automatic focus and image adjustment? The HRC answers all of these questions to ensure maximum range performance.

• FLIR designed and produced the HRC’s thermal detector. It’s high-resolution 640x480 format has 4 times the picture clarity of cameras that use medium format 320x240 detectors.
• The HRC high sensitivity detector pixels are 15μm in size. What does this mean to you? You can see more detail with HRC than with cameras that use detectors with larger pixels.
• The HRC has built-in Tunable Digital Detail Enhancement (DDE) video electronics circuitry. Tunable DDE is a proprietary FLIR technology that brings out unmatched image clarity.
• Precision lens design allows for low-distortion across the entire image while maintaining optimized focus quality across the entire zoom range. High-durability anti-refection coatings ensure long life and consistent performance.
• Longer focal length lenses produce greater magnifcation, but just having a long telescope isn’t enough – the lens and detector package must be designed and optimized to work together. FLIR Systems is uniquely capable of these complex tasks, as we design and manufacture all of the critical components in the imaging system: detector – cooler – video processing - lenses.

FLIR designed the HRC from the ground up so that all of its critical components work together towards one goal: making HRC the best long-range thermal security camera around.
