FLIR RS8500

MODEL: FLIR RS8513 INSB (3.0-5.0 ΜM)

The FLIR RS8500 MWIR infrared camera system is a high-performance thermal camera and infrared telescope combined in a single weatherproof housing, specifically designed for long-range tracking and measurement applications including military range, aerospace, and outdoor research. Built around a high-resolution 1280 × 1024 midwave indium antimonide detector with the ability to deliver data up to 180 frames per second, the RS8500 provides 24% more pixels and a 46% faster frame speed than the previous model. Multiple simultaneous data and video output options allow the camera to be easily integrated into most data acquisition systems.

High-performance IR camera and telescope

  • ADVANCED FEATURES FOR OPTIMAL FLEXIBILITY

    This high-performance infrared camera features a 10X continuous zoom lens with TSPI-accurate time stamping of images and metadata all in a single weatherproof housing

  • SUPERIOR RESOLUTION AND MEASUREMENT ACCURACY

    Easily capture high-speed thermal data in full HD resolution on long-range and high-temperature targets with the 1.3 megapixel MWIR indium antimonide detector and internal warm filter wheel

  • SIMPLIFIED DATA ANALYSIS, SHARING, AND COLLABORATION

    View, record, and analyze data easily in the latest FLIR software using the available GigE, CameraLink Full Fiber (RS8523 model only), or CoaxPress digital data connection options while having full control over the advanced triggering and synchronization capabilities
