Armasight COMMAND 640 HD 4-32x100 30 Hz Thermal Imaging Bi-Ocular

If you need the ability to record using incredible thermal imaging technology, consider the BHS-XR Command  QD 100 9 hz binocular. Capable of recording AVI video and capturing JPEG images, the BHS-X Command QD 100 takes surveillance recording to the next level.

For those of you who are not already familiar with what thermal imaging technology can bring you, put simply, it allows you to capture images better than normal night vision by recording the heat waves that are naturally emitted by everything from humans to trees. This makes creating an image in the dead of night much better and offers a superior resolution and quality to other night vision types - it also won’t be so easily deterred by poor weather conditions.

The BHS-XR Command QD 100 offers a fantastic refresh rate of 9 hz, making its image quite natural looking and able to keep you up to speed on what is going on. This model also offers a 2.0 digital zoom, for those occasions where you need a little bit of intermediate target acquisition and want to focus in on something in particular. With a standard resolution of 640 x 480, it can zoom in at 2.0 and maintain a resolution of 320 x 240, or even zoom 4.0 for a maintained resolution of 160 x 120. This just adds to the overall flexibility of function that the BHS-X Command QD 100 can give you. The model you are currently viewing, the BHS-XR Command, also offers an incredible 640 x 480 microbolometer.

The BHS-XR Command QD 100 also has a hot shoe charger that comes with it, making set up and power control extremely fast, easy, and painless. This kind of quick setup just adds to the tactical simplicity that makes this model so great on the field. 

The BHS-XR Command QD 100 ships with an operation manual, a hot shoe charging and video output attachment, an AC power adaptor/charger, a car adaptor/charger, a USB cable, a video output cable, a product CD, 4 rechargeable AA NiMH batteries, and a neck lanyard. 

The BHS-XR Command QD 100 has a weather rating of IP67 which means it is protected against dust and temporary immersion.

Thermal Imaging

Please note that most thermal devices are built per order.  It may take 3-5 days or more for your order to ship.  If timely shipping is important to you, please, contact us to verify availability prior to ordering. 

Thermal devices can produce various types of images.  Some are color others are monochrome.  In either case change in shade or color indicates temperature differences.

Here is how thermal imaging devices work...

A special lens focuses the infrared light emitted by all of the objects in view.

The focused light is scanned by a phased array of infrared-detector elements. The detector elements create a very detailed temperature pattern called a thermogram. It only takes about one-thirtieth of a second for the detector array to obtain the temperature information to make the thermogram. This information is obtained from several thousand points in the field of view of the detector array.

The thermogram created by the detector elements is translated into electric impulses.

The impulses are sent to a signal-processing unit, a circuit board with a dedicated chip that translates the information from the elements into data for the display.

The signal-processing unit sends the information to the display, where it appears as various colors depending on the intensity of the infrared emission. The combination of all the impulses from all of the elements creates the image.

There are a few key Manufacturers when it comes to thermal imaging.  

ATN: produce such well knows devies as ThOR-HD thermal scope, BINOX-THD thermal binoculars, and OTS-HD thermal monocular.  

FLIR/Armasight: the largest maker of consumer level thermal products is well knows for their full product line.  Zeus thermal scopes, Q14 and Scout monoculars, Helios and Scout binoculars and many more.

Pulsar: a very popular brand for digital night vision and thermal imaging.  Key products include Pulsar Trail and Apex thermal scopes and Pulsar Helion and Quantum thermal monoculars.

Seek: mobile device mounted thermal cameras are the main products of this brand.

Delivery Time and Manufacturing Process for FLIR BHS-XR Command - QD100 Bi-ocular Thermal Imaging Camera:

Most of our manufacturers do not keep products like FLIR BHS-XR Command - QD100 Bi-ocular Thermal Imaging Camera assembled on the shelf. Night Vision tubes are kept separate from the body of the unit. When the order is placed, the manufacturer starts the order processing and assembly process which includes the following:

  • Order processing - we collect all the necessary information including address and phone numbers. We also make sure that our customer ordered the correct product for their needs and that the product can be exported by US law to the country of destination. In some cases a signed export compliance form is required.
  • QC - in this step the manufacturer will inspect all individual parts which will be used to assemble the night vision device for any defects.
  • Production & Assembly - during production, all the parts are put together. Night Vision tubes in inserted into the body of the unit and all the complex electronics for the device are connected. This process takes place in a special lab called the "clean room" as even a small speckle of dust can cause undesired optical effect.
  • QA - one the night vision device is assembled, it goes through a rigorous testing process to make sure it meets all the expected specifications and all parts function as expected. For this most manufacturers have a special "dark room" designed to allow testing of the units without causing incidental damage to the night vision tube by exposure to bright light.
  • Packaging - this is a key process as well. In most case your night vision device will be shipped to you directly from the manufacturer but sometimes needs to be sent to us first. In either case items need to be packaged securely to avoid any kind of damage during transportation.
  • Shipping - as described above items will most of the time ship from the manufacturer. For most domestic orders (unless shipping to POB or AFB) a premium shipper like FedEx or UPS will be used.

Only by following the above steps can we along with our manufacturers bring you - our customer - night vision products of highest quality, However as you can understand the above process can take several days to complete. For example if your device fails QA, the entire process restarts. Also at QC stage a manufacturer may realize that the tube they have in stock has a defect and a replacement tube needs to be ordered. Due to the complexity of this process, it is prudent to expect 3-4 business days for production and handling of the purchased device. Keep in mind that this process is designed to guarantee your satisfaction with the night vision device of your choice.  It occasionally possible to expedite the process for urgent orders but addional fees or other restrictions may apply.
