FLIR Canada Limited 

Professional Development TSCM Group Inc., represents the full line of FLIR Infrared (IR) Thermal Imagers suitable for security, law enforcement and military technical security related applications.

FLIR was established in 1978 to pioneer the development of high-performance, low-cost infrared (thermal) imaging systems for airborne applications. Thermal imaging systems detect the infrared energy (heat) that is emitted by all people, objects and materials. Infrared cameras allow the operator to see in total darkness, adverse weather and through such air pollutants as smoke and haze.

The Technical Security Branch (TSB) has conducted significant operational research in developing operational technical procedures specific to counter-surveillance (CS) and Technical Surveillance Device (TSD) identification utilizing the worlds most advanced Infrared (IR) Thermal Imaging Cameras.

Professional Development TSCM Group Inc., has conducted extensive research in both a controlled laboratory setting and during active field trials to determine the best FLIR product for use in a technical security role.

Our in-house ITC Certified (Level I) Thermographer has integrated this extensive research and formally introduced methods and techniques based on best practices.

We strongly recommend the FLIR T-400, P640 and SC-660 line of products for technical security related assignments.

Although, there are many less expensive products offered by several manufacturers including FLIR, these low cost units lack the sensitivity and resolution required for professional level technical security applications.
