China, France, Germany, Great Britain, Hong Kong, Italy, Japan, Korea, Sweden, and
the USA—together with a worldwide network of agents and distributors—support our
international customer base.
FLIR Systems is at the forefront of innovation in the infrared camera industry. We an-
ticipate market demand by constantly improving our existing cameras and developing
new ones. The company has set milestones in product design and development such
as the introduction of the first battery-operated portable camera for industrial inspec-
tions, and the first uncooled infrared camera, to mention just two innovations.

Figure 29.2 LEFT: Thermovision® Model 661 from 1969. The camera weighed approximately 25 kg
(55 lb.), the oscilloscope 20 kg (44 lb.), and the tripod 15 kg (33 lb.). The operator also needed a 220 VAC
generator set, and a 10 L (2.6 US gallon) jar with liquid nitrogen. To the left of the oscilloscope the Polaroid
attachment (6 kg/13 lb.) can be seen. RIGHT: FLIR i7 from 2009. Weight: 0.34 kg (0.75 lb.), including the
battery.
FLIR Systems manufactures all vital mechanical and electronic components of the
camera systems itself. From detector design and manufacturing, to lenses and system
electronics, to final testing and calibration, all production steps are carried out and
supervised by our own engineers. The in-depth expertise of these infrared specialists
ensures the accuracy and reliability of all vital components that are assembled into
your infrared camera.
29.1 More than just an infrared camera
At FLIR Systems we recognize that our job is to go beyond just producing the best
infrared camera systems. We are committed to enabling all users of our infrared
camera systems to work more productively by providing them with the most powerful
