Fire SuppressionArgus Thermal Imaging CamerasBetter Image QualityTri-Mode SensitivityMost microbolometer based Thermal Image Cameras on the market have two gain modes: High and Low. Max temperature range of two gain mode microbolometers top out at 1100°F (600°C) iin their highest temperature range "Low Sensitivity" mode. Argus4 cameras have THREE gain modes (High, Low, & Extra Low) which can increase their dynamic temperature range to over 1800ºF1. The Argus4 camera automatically selects the most suitable mode for creating the clearest and most detailed image possible. Once the camera reaches it maximum dynamic range all temperatures above that value will be white or non-discernable. Extending the dynamic range gives the firefighter confidence he can view high temperatures without the loss of image quality. With Argus cameras, objects at 80°F can be viewed along side objects with temperatures over 1800°F (Argus4 HR320). If you have a victim laying on the floor in front of a very high heat source you will see the distinct outline of the person not just a white spot! Competitor comparisons should be performed using scenes with high dynamic temperature ranges and not performed in office environments. Tri-Mode “High Sensitivity” - Green MThe camera selects this mode when the temperature of objects in the camera field of view is between -40°F and 300°F. 
Tri-Mode “Low Sensitivity” - Orange MThe camera selects this mode when the temperature of objects in the camera field of view is above 300°F but below 750°F. 
Tri-Mode “Extra Low Sensitivity” - Red MThe camera selects this mode when the temperature of objects in the camera’s field of view is above 750°F. This enables viewing of temperatures over 1832°F with the Argus4 HR320 (1472°F with the Argus4 320).
