Firefly Q8 is a camera that can withstand high temperatures and cold, making it ideal for use in extreme environments.
Hawkeye Firefly Camera, a leading ODM/OEM specialist in tactical imaging systems, today unveiled its breakthrough military-grade shotgun camera engineered for extreme environments. Designed for defense contractors and professional hunters, this solution sets a new standard for thermal imaging integration in firearms applications.
Conventional action cameras fail under critical conditions:
❌ Thermal drift in sub-zero temperatures blurs targeting
❌ Fog/rain disrupts optical lenses
❌ Recoil impact misaligns camera mounts
The three major technological innovations of Firefly
1.Core of wide temperature range thermal imaging
Military-grade thermal sensor: Equipped with [ ] μm resolution infrared detector (able to detect temperature difference < 0.05℃)
-20°C to 40°C adaptive calibration: Patent temperature compensation algorithm eliminates image noise at low temperatures
ODM flexible customization: Supports customers in specifying the thermal imaging range (e.g. human/vehicle recognition mode)
2.Impact-resistant mechanical structure
After firing continuously 10 rounds from the 12th shotgun, the camera angle shifted by <0.1°
3.Taking a shot automatically starts the recording
When the camera is installed on the gun and the camera is activated, upon detecting the shock wave caused by the gun firing, it will record the 10 seconds before the firing and the 30 seconds after the firing into the camera's memory card.
This product demonstrates Firefly's ability for deep customization," said the chief engineer [name], "From military exercises in the Arctic Circle to combat in tropical rainforests, we provide ODM customers with:
Hardware: Supports the import of sensors/processors specified by the customer.
Certification: Assisting in obtaining CE/FCC/RoHS certifications
