The Argus Security Camera (SC) is the latest generation of the highly successful Argus Thermal Imaging Cameras (TIC) from e2v technologies. The Argus SC has been specifically designed to help Police, security and law enforcement officers to detect the heat signatures of people and objects. The camera can be used in conditions of zero visibility including complete darkness and smoke.

The Argus SC offers a simple-to-operate configuration and is a robust, self-contained camera, with fully automatic operation. It is lightweight and ergonomic and capable of withstanding harsh environments. The Argus SC uses a high-resolution 320 x 240 pixel, Amorphous Silicon (ASi) Microbolometer Detector. It has been designed using advanced digital imaging technology for a sharper picture and provides superior performance.
