FLIR's Scout III 640 is the best overall model available in the Scout III series of outdoor thermal cameras.
With this thermal camera, you can take to the outdoors and explore to your heart's content. The camera is completely weatherproof, lightweight and extremely easy to use, making it an excellent option for legal hunting, rambling and other outdoor activities.
The Scout III 640 has a number of improvements compared to the Scout III 240 and 320 models. The main improvements are a bump in thermal resolution to 640 x 512 pixels (twice the imaging power of the 320) and improved body heat detection range (can detect the heat of a man-sized target at a distance of up to 1140m away from the user!). This is also the only model in the series to include both 2x and 4x zoom functions.
FLIR's Scout III 640 has frame rate of 30Hz. Many thermal cameras use lower frame rate of 9Hz; this improvement means that images refresh quicker, giving you a smoother viewing experience when you're moving quickly.
Worried about using the camera? Don't be - this camera is designed with simplicity in mind. Just switch on, hold to your eye and you'll be able to see the world in thermal. Adjustments to the display brightness, zoom level and colour palette can all be made by easy access buttons on the top of the camera (these can even be used when the camera is held to the eye).
It is worth noting that the Scout III 640 does not have image capturing abilities. It does however have a video output jack and can output video to a laptop/tablet etc.
