5 Reasons to Consider FL360 over Older Traditional Search Cameras

FASTER SEARCH

Upon entry into a void space the FL360 instantly captures a live 360-degree spherical view which can be controlled and explored by simply swiping a finger in any direction across a tablet screen. Two-way audio allows a simultaneous audio search, and the lightweight design makes it easier for a team of two operators to search faster and safer than ever before. No more waiting for a motorized mechanical head to move left and right, adjusting the search pole and repeating the process. Save time and improve outcomes.

OPERATIONAL FLEXIBILITY

The FL360 can operate in either wired or wireless mode and is extremely versatile. The design is portable, rugged, IP68* rated and supports multiple rescue applications such as Structural Collapse, Heavy Vehicle Extrication, Confined Space, Hazmat, and High Angle rescue. Unlike traditional Search Cameras designed for one application, FL360 was designed to work all rescue operations.

IMPROVED COLLABORATION AND REPORTING

The tablet that comes with FL360 Kit can be connected via an LTE network making it compatible with most mobile networks around the world. Recorded 360° videos or screen snapshots can be shared and stored for secondary review. All recorded media are encoded with time, date, GPS location data, which are then marked on the mapping tool within the FL360 application. This will allow the secondary search team to review previously searched areas. Know more than ever before.

REDUCED DOWNTIME AND COST

The FL360 contains no moving parts yet achieves a wider field of view than current competitive search cameras. Mechanical articulated joints, integral to traditional cameras are prone to failure. Repairs are expensive and can put a traditional camera out of service for periods of a month or more not to mention the logistic costs of sending the entire camera case back to the manufacturer. The FL360 comes standard with onboard diagnostics and software that can be updated in the application reducing the potential for down time due to service. The FL360 is extremely cost competitive when compared to the 15+ year old search camera technology being offered today. Maximize your rescue tool investment.

MOBILE INTEGRATION

Continuous development of FL360 software (FL360 app and firmware) and added features direct from customer feedback will increase the capabilities of FL360 now and into the future. No more expensive proprietary hardware that is stagnant and featureless. Mobile integration is the future.
