- TitleThe Argus®4 - Thermal Imaging Just Got Hotter!
- Date03 May 2006
e2v technologies, the manufacturer of the hugely successful Argus® thermal imaging cameras, has announced the arrival of the next generation in thermal imaging technology – the Argus®4.
The Argus®4 is smaller and lighter, yet packed with even more features than the Argus®3, which was in itself ground-breaking in becoming the first camera to offer image capture. Argus®4 comes with x2 zoom, 16 colour settings and a picture capture facility capable of taking 100 pictures. However, at only 135mm tall and weighing only 1kg it is under half the weight of the Argus®3.
The Argus®4 enables 100 photographs to be stored then downloaded to a PC/Laptop through a USB cable for quicker transfer. Combined with the 16 colour schemes, with their built in improved usability, the Argus®4 just keeps delivering.
Argus®4 utilises a Microbolometer sensor matched with electronics designed and manufactured by e2v which ensures that quality and durability are built in. Direct (spot) and ambient temperature measurement are also standard features on the Argus®4, allowing for accurate assessment of site temperatures and identification of specific danger points.
The Argus®4 is sealed to IP67 and has also been designed to survive at least a 1m drop test as well as tolerate high temperatures.
Andre Goodson, Fire Business Sector Manager at e2v technologies, explains: “After the global success of the Argus®3 thermal imaging camera, e2v was determined to introduce a new camera which met fire fighters’ demands to have a small, light camera which is still full of features. Prior to the Argus®4, the majority of the cameras on the market were either large but full of features, or small but basic. Argus®4 bridges the gap between size and functionality and set a new gold standard in the field of thermal imaging cameras!”
