The NEW Argus SC specialist search camera is the latest generation of the highly successful Argus thermal imaging camera. It has been specifically designed to help Police and security personel  to detect the heat signatures required in specialist search opperations.

The camera can be used in conditions of zero visibility including complete darkness and smoke.The Argus SC offers a simple-to-operate configuration and is a robust, self-contained camera, with fully automatic operation. It is lightweight and ergonomic and capable of withstanding harsh environments.

The ArgusSC uses a high-resolution 320 x 240 pixel, Amorphous Silicon (ASi) Microbolometer Detector. It has been designed using advanced digital imaging technology for a sharper picture and provides superior performance.

Camera standard features

The Argus SC comes with the most advanced features available in any thermal imaging camera. These include:

When selected this clever automatic function helps the user to scan an area (e.g. walls or equipment inside of a room) looking for anything unusual. (E.g. electronic equipment that may have been imbedded, any voids within a wall or any area of a wall that may have been tampered with.)

This mode allows the user to fix the camera’s dynamic range to take an image and compare scenes in real time. A house being investigated as a suspected drug factory can be viewed with the camera, then using the image compare mode view a neighbouring house using the same dynamic range setting. If the image is darker, it implys that the first (suspected) house is much hotter therefore contributing to evidence that the house could be a residential drug factory.
Enhanced Dynamic Scene Colourisation (EDSC)

Colourises the thermal image to allow the user to pinpoint the areas of interest within the surveillance scene.

Direct Temperature Measurement (DTM)

Displays the temperature of objects within a defined area of the thermal scene.
