FLIR K85 Thermal Imaging Camera for Firefighting
The FLIR K85 Thermal Imaging Camera (TIC) is designed to give firefighters sharper vision, faster decision-making, and greater confidence in the toughest conditions. With high-resolution 640 × 480 imaging, a rugged build, and seamless wireless connectivity, the K85 helps crews see through smoke, assess hazards, and carry out search and rescue with precision.
Connected to the FLIR Responder App, the K85 also streamlines training and post-incident review, making it a powerful tool both in the field and at the station.
FLIR K85 Features:
- High-resolution clarity – Crisp 640 × 480 IR resolution reveals finer details in fire scenes, structures, flames, and potential victims.
- Freeze-free, single-range imaging – Unlike older TICs, the K85 never pauses or loses detail when moving between cool areas and high heat – hazards are displayed instantly.
- Smarter tactical awareness – Search Mode highlights fire spread and hot doors, while Detection Mode identifies hotspots and victims in low-contrast scenes.
- Wireless efficiency – Configure, stream, and share data easily via the FLIR Responder App – perfect for live training, team coordination, and mission documentation.
- Built for firefighting – With an IP67 rating, 2 m drop resistance, and proven endurance in extreme heat (up to 260°C for 5 minutes), the K85 is ready for real-world operations.

FAQ
A: The K85 delivers 640×480 thermal resolution — the same as the K85-N — providing high-fidelity thermal detail for demanding interior operations, rapid size-up, and post-incident review.
A: Both deliver 640×480 resolution, but the K85-N is FLIR’s latest model and the first TIC certified to NFPA 1930:2025. The K85-N also introduces improved single-range architecture with continuous operation from −20°C to 650°C without image freeze, updated fireground imaging modes, improved ergonomics for gloved operation, and 2× high-clarity zoom. The K85 remains a capable, high-resolution option — the 2026 update brought improved optics for better image clarity in low-contrast conditions.
A: Yes. The K85’s 640×480 resolution and high-heat imaging capability make it well suited to industrial emergency response including mining, oil and gas, and chemical processing environments where detailed thermal visibility is critical.
