Frequently asked questions

What makes Flir different from other thermal imaging brands?

Flir combines decades of defense-grade experience with industry-first imaging innovations like MSX® and Radiometric data, offering unmatched clarity and reliability.

Can Flir cameras be used for hunting or tactical shooting?

Absolutely. Devices like the FLIR ThermoSight are specifically designed for target acquisition and situational awareness in low visibility, making them ideal for hunting or tactical use.

What is thermal imaging, and how does it work?

Thermal imaging detects heat (infrared radiation) from objects and living beings. Flir cameras convert this heat into images, letting you see in total darkness or through obscurants like smoke and fog.

Are Flir devices waterproof or weather-resistant?

Yes. Most Flir cameras, like the C5 and E5 Pro, feature rugged IP54+ ratings, meaning they are dustproof, splash-resistant, and built for outdoor conditions.

Do I need a license to own a Flir thermal scope?

For most civilian models like the FLIR ThermoSight, no license is required in the U.S., though export restrictions may apply. Always check local regulations before purchase.

How do I maintain my Flir thermal camera?

Keep lenses clean using a microfiber cloth, avoid exposure to high impacts or extreme heat, and regularly update firmware via the FLIR app or Ignite cloud platform for optimal performance.
