MSA Thermal Imaging - "See" Heat, Save Lives

The most significant factor hindering the effectiveness of today's firefighters is their inability to see in smoke-filled buildings. Thermal imaging cameras (TICs) remove this obstacle, allowing firefighters to easily see through smoke, safeguard the lives of the firefighting team, locate people who may be trapped in the building, and quickly lead them to safety. Maryland Fire is pleased to offer our customers the entire line of MSA TICs, which combines the most advanced thermal imaging technology with MSA's expertise in high heat, impact resistant thermoplastics. The combination of state-of-the-art technology and tough, durable construction has made MSA a lifesaving resource for firefighting teams throughout the country. Consider the many advantages of MSA's most advanced thermal imaging cameras!

The Evolution' 4000 TIC
Designed by firefighters and developed by MSA, the Evolution 4000 is the industry's original big-screen, high-definition TIC. With a breakthrough design that combines perfect balance, grip, orientation, and hand-off capability in a rugged, lightweight, fully sealed, high-temperature housing, the Evolution 4000 TIC is a firefighting tool that your team will rely on time and time again. The Evolution 4000 features the latest advances in thermal imaging technology to provide high resolution, quality images for clear, crisp definition of objects in the scene; video enhancement software and firmware provide additional data (such as color or other indication) for notable events.


The Evolution' 5000 TIC
MSA has, once again, set a new standard in thermal imaging with the Evolution 5000, which provides big-time performance in a small-format TIC. Designed especially for the fire-fighting industry, the Evolution 5000 combines the functionality and durability required of fire fighters with features and performance not found on other manufacturers' TICs. The Evolution 5000 TIC features a 160 x 120 vanadium oxide microbolometer for maximum performance, providing the firefighter with clear, crisp definition of objects in the scene. A revolutionary design allows for ease of use and easy integration with the firefighter's ensemble.
