FLIR K85 (2026 Version) Thermal Imaging Camera

The FLIR K85 is a high-resolution thermal imaging camera engineered specifically for frontline firefighting. Its 640 × 480 thermal resolution, continuous single-range imaging, and rugged construction provide exceptional image clarity when smoke, darkness, and rapidly changing temperatures make every visible detail critical.

Maximum Thermal Clarity

The K85’s 640 × 480 thermal resolution gives firefighters four times the thermal pixels of a 320 × 240 camera. This increased detail helps crews identify victims, recognize structural features, monitor fire behavior, and locate hidden hazards in low-visibility environments.

The K85 supports firefighters during:

• Fire attack and tactical decision-making
• Search and rescue operations
• Navigation through dense smoke
• Identification of hidden fire spread
• Overhaul and hotspot detection
• Incident assessment and training

Continuous Single-Range Operation

The K85 uses an advanced single-range imaging system that operates from -4°F to 1,202°F. Unlike cameras that pause or freeze while switching temperature ranges, the K85 provides continuous thermal imaging as conditions change—helping firefighters maintain awareness without interruption.

Built for Fireground Conditions

The K85 is designed to withstand the heat, water, impact, and demanding handling encountered during emergency operations.

• IP67-rated protection against water and dust
• Rugged construction for frontline firefighting
• Two-meter drop resistance
• Reliable high-temperature performance
• Intuitive controls designed for operation under stress
• Easy-grip design for use with structural firefighting gloves

Connected Before, During, and After the Incident

The K85 connects with the FLIR Responder App to extend the camera’s usefulness beyond basic thermal imaging.
