Standard features common to all four models


Multiple Wear Options

Unlike many thermal imagers, the Argus Mi-TICs design allows it to be worn in multiple ways. Because of its shape and small size, the camera provides the user with the choice of positioning the camera either in the hand, inside a pocket, clipped outside a pocket, clipped to a lanyard or hung around the neck.

The Picatinny Rail

The Picatinny rail at the top of the camera allows users to attach off the shelf accessories such as a laser pointer or flash light.

Argus4 320 Thermal Imaging Camera

Supplied With Dual Use Docking Station

This multifunctional docking station will simultaneously charge 2 batteries, one in the camera and one spare, utilizing a unique locking mechanism to ensure reliability.  The docking stations come with a 12V DC cord and a 120V AC cord, and also have 2 USB ports to allow for PC connectivity. A maximum of 6 docking stations can be daisy chained together and hard wired into a truck. The multipurpose mounting bracket means the docking station can be mounted both horizontally or vertically.

Li-ion Phosphate Battery

The Mi-TIC incorporates the latest in safe Li-ion battery technology, Li-ion phosphate. These batteries will not explode when subjected to heat, unlike standard Li-ion batteries. However, they do retain the advantages of Li-ion batteries such as not developing memory and lasting a long time.

The standard size battery will power the Mi-TIC for approximately 2 hours. An optional larger battery pack is available that will power the unit for up to 5 hours.

Spot Temperature Measurement

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

Tri-Mode Sensitivity

While other brands of TICs have only two ranges of sensitivity, the Argus Mi-TIC series have an expanded third level of sensitivity for very high scene temperatures to enable clear imagery at all temperatures. This expanded temperature range means that temperatures in excess of 1800°F (1000°C) can be viewed.

Customizable Start-up Screen

Department logos or station names can be added to the start-up screen for asset tracking and/or personalization of the camera.

On-Screen Time and Date (user configurable)

The time and date is displayed at the top of the viewing screen.

Field Replaceable Germanium Window

Spare germanium windows are available to enable the user to easily remove a damaged window and replace it in the field without the need to send the unit back to the manufacturer.

Super-Fast Start Up Time

Starts up in under 5 seconds which allows users to deploy the camera more rapidly.

Easy To Use

Less training is required to get users familiar with the camera operation.

Larger format LCD screen

This helps the user who is wearing breathing apparatus to view the thermal image more easily.

No Software Required

When users plug the camera into a PC via the docking station the camera will be recognized as a removable hard drive – just like a standard USB device.
