Tempest Thermal Imaging Cameras TIC 4.3

Leader TIC 4.3 Thermal Imaging Camera – Triple Button

The Leader TIC 4.3 Thermal Imaging Camera is a professional-grade handheld infrared imaging device designed for fire attack, search, and situational awareness operations. Built for demanding fireground environments, the TIC 4.3 combines a rugged design, a large high-resolution display, and an intuitive three-button control interface to support rapid decision-making in low-visibility and high-temperature conditions.

Operational Overview

The TIC 4.3 utilizes a three-button control layout that provides direct access to critical functions without navigating complex menus. Firefighters can quickly manage power, digital zoom, thermal color modes, image capture, video recording, playback, and laser pointer activation. The interface is engineered for reliable operation while wearing gloves, allowing users to focus on situational awareness rather than camera controls during high-stress incidents.

Construction

Designed for durability and ease of handling, the TIC 4.3 features a compact and lightweight housing suitable for interior firefighting operations. A protected germanium optical window shields the infrared sensor and internal components from extreme heat and impact. The camera is powered by high-temperature-resistant LiFePO₄ batteries, delivering dependable runtime and long service life in harsh operating environments.
