The FirstLook 360 is the world's first wireless streaming search and rescue camera. Exclusively available from Vimpex, we're proud to supply this highly effective and innovative product to our emergency services customers. The FL-360 captures a clear global picture and delivers it remotely to an android phone or tablet for use in inaccessible spaces, dangerous environments and even underwater.
Leveraging high definition wide angle imaging technologies has completely removed the necessity for delicate mechanical articulation mechanisms to move the camera head. A rescuer can simply probe the camera in any space, hang by a carabiner or locate at a high point and view the 360 live image by swiping a finger across the screen or by using FL-360's virtual joystick feature to zero in a particular area of interest. This combined with the connectivity of both wired and wireless modes of operation make the FL-360 a real game changer.
