Turn the NIGHT SHIFT into the DAY SHIFT

The NOPTIC Thermal Imaging Camera enables you to conduct continual night vision surveillance.  Unlike hand-held devices that spend 99% of their time in the trunk, the NOPTIC is at work all night, every night.

 
The camera’s unique mounting location on the vehicle’s spotlight (patent pending), enables an officer to operate it from the comfort and security of the patrol vehicle. An officer now has the ability to conduct night vision surveillance with both hands on the wheel and both eyes free from hand-held optic viewers. The camera’s thermal scene information is transferred to an onboard video screen or computer laptop.

The ability to pan and tilt the camera with the spotlight off, allows for the timely and tactical use of the spotlight.  Also, the camera has an exceptional 500 yard range and 320 x 240 pixels of resolution which is 4x that of most hand-held devices.

Since the camera uses passive infrared sensing technology, it is not affected by oncoming headlights.  The camera operates in complete darkness and at temperature extremes of  – 40F to 176F. It also has a built-in lens heater that activates automatically at temperatures below 40 degrees F to keep the lens clear of frost and ice.
