Tri-Mode Sensitivity Microbolometer cameras have two modes of sensitivity, high and low; Argus™4 now has a third level of sensitivity for very high scene temperatures to enable clear imagery at all temperatures.
Customisable Start-up Screen Brigade logos or station names can be added to the start-up screen for asset tracking and/or personalization of the camera.

Remote Control - The Argus4 is supplied with a remote control that allows the end user to adjust LCD settings, set the dynamic scene colorisation and set the time and date. Stored images can be reviewed and deleted.
Power for the Argus4 is provided by an integral battery pack located on the top of the camera. The camera has a single on/off button with a delayed off operation to prevent accidental power-down during use. The camera will display a start-up screen until a useable thermal image is produced.
All Argus4 cameras are constructed from high quality Radel®R- 5100, which has been chosen for its strength, resistance to heat, water and impact. Protection from shock is provided by a combination of rugged components, optimum mechanical design and protective bumpers. The camera is sealed to allow short-term total immersion in water (IP67).
The camera is supplied with side straps and a removable handle, which provides flexible operation and transfer between users.
No end-user maintenance is required other than echarging of batteries and post-use external cleaning with a soft cloth.
