FLIR Systems Inc. has announced the launch of the FLIR Ranger HDC MR, a new high-definition midrange surveillance system. The Ranger HDC MR is designed to set a new standard for surveillance with its ability to detect illegal activities even in degraded weather conditions, utilizing embedded analytics and image processing to reduce the cognitive workload, enabling operators to distinguish quickly between true threats and false alarms.
The FLIR Ranger HDC MR is a high-performance HD thermal imaging system that the company says is available for about the same price as standard resolution systems. FLIR says Ranger HDC MR can capture a wider array of views with the same target resolution, thanks to its HD imagery. Mission capability is extended two-fold with a built-in fog filter to see through fog and haze, as well as an optional Merlin ASX turbulence filter to see through heat/air turbulence for more accurate target classification. Ranger HDC MR also is ready to host on-board AI image processing for faster decision-making. According to the company, its advanced technology improves reliability while lowering downtime and maintenance with a lifelong core that more than doubles the mean-time between failures of previous models.
