Proper Disposal of Electrical and Electronic Equipment (EEE)
The European Union (EU) has enacted Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment Directive 2002/96/EC (WEEE), which aims to prevent EEE waste from arising; to encourage reuse, recycling, and recovery of EEE waste; and to promote environmental responsibility.
In accordance with these regulations, all EEE products labeled with the “crossed out wheeled bin” either on the product itself or in the
product literature must not be disposed of in regular rubbish bins, mixed with regular household or other commercial waste, or by other regular municipal waste collection means. Instead, and in order to prevent possible harm to the environment or human health, all EEE products (including any cables that came with the product) should be responsibly discarded or recycled.
To identify a responsible disposal method where you live, please contact your local waste collection or recycling service, your original place of purchase or product supplier, or the responsible government authority in your area. Business users should contact their supplier or refer to their purchase contract.

BHS-Series Bi-Ocular Camera
Image Intensified Camera

www.ShopFLIR.ca
The BHS-Series Bi-Ocular handheld thermal imaging camera lets law enforcement officers see clearly in total darkness, giving them the information they need while making quick decisions, enhancing mission effectiveness, maximizing operational capabilities, and improving officer safety.
The Vanadium Oxide (VOx) microbolometer employed in the BHS­Series Bi-Ocular camera provides high-fidelity thermal imagery with the detail necessary for cutting edge performance. You will see improved detection and recognition ranges in total darkness, as well as through smoke, dust, and light fog.
You can see better through camouflage and foliage in any lighting conditions. You can see more—and see farther—than with other night vision technologies because BHS-Series Bi-Ocular cameras see clearly without any light whatsoever. You can see farther at night than with technologies that need ambient light to work and you can see heat sources that these other cameras could never find.
With a variety of lens options, on-board image, and video capture capability all built in to the camera, BHS-Series Bi-Ocular cameras are the most potent imaging package available today.
