The AGM Fuzion Handheld Thermal & Optical Bi-spectrum Monocular is a versatile device designed for various applications, including patrol, search and rescue, drug interdiction, and suspect apprehension. It is equipped with advanced imaging technology to perform effectively in challenging environments such as smoke, fog, rain, and snow.
Function Description:
The Fuzion monocular offers three distinct image viewing modes: thermal, visible light, and fusion. These modes can be easily adapted to different environmental conditions, providing flexibility for the user. The device integrates a 12µm high-sensitivity thermal detector and an ultra-low light optical detector, allowing for quick detection of hidden objects. The 1024x768 OLED display and a large field of view enhance the viewing experience. The fusion image function combines thermal and optical channels, displaying a clear image with enhanced edge detail. The device also features a bi-spectrum image fusion and object highlight capability, along with detail enhancement and target recognition.
