Comparison of Fire Service TIC Performance - High and Low Sensitivity
Most TICs generate thermal images in either High Sense or Low Sense modes, depending on the temperature of the scene. High Sense mode delivers the best image quality - but has a limited temperature range. Low Sense mode trades image quality for a wider temp range to keep the TIC working in high heat.

Evolution 5200 TIC Performance
Only MSA delivers High Sense image quality up to 320°F, the range that 80% of the time matches the temperature range in most structural fires.
In addition, only MSA delivers increased sensitivity in Low Sense mode with better high temperature image quality. The shaded color in both High and Low Sense indicates the Evolution 5200's Heat Seeker PLUS.
Evolution 5200HD2 TIC Performance
Most TICs sacrifice high-sense imagery to make sure they perform in higher temperatures. With the widest range of high sense mode and the highest sensitivity iri low sense mode, the Evolution 5200HD2 gives you both high quality imagery and wide temperature ranges-there's no sacrifice, just performance! The Heat Seeker PLUS provides image detail shading.
Evolution 5600 TIC Performance
The Evolution 5600 TIC offers the widest high sense operating range of any Fire Service TIC in high heat conditions. The Heat Seeker indicator allows
the user to easily locate hot spots and the seat of the fire, and is effective in High and Low Sensitivity. In fact, this TIC has the highest SENSITIVITY in Low Sensitivity mode of any fire service TIC, which extends the dynamic range for better image distinction at higher scene temperatures. The Evolution 5600 TIC's indigo 120 x 120 vanadium oxide microbolometer provides excellent image quality in a small formatTlC.
Competitive Performance
The limited High Sense temperature range on competitive TICs means that better image quality is lost sooner. Low Sense then becomes the standard operating mode, using only a fraction of the total available sensitivity. In addition, competitive TICs lack Heat Seeking color in High Sense mode, an important tool to determine the presence and direction of the fire.
Low Cost - High Value
As Fire Service TICs become more affordable, MSA again takes the lead by adding new features and increasing performance-while lowering both initial and lifetime costs. Only MSA offers a 2-year sensor warranty - twice the coverage of competitive TICs! The increased value of MSA TICs is realized through expanded TIC uses, time saved and SAFETY-every day!

Principles of Operation
MSA's Video Capture is a video recording system for Evolution 5000 Series Thermal Imaging Cameras. It offers fast and simple video recording of the original screen for documentation and training purposes. The small and easy-to-use stand-alone unit can be mounted and removed on any Evolution 5000 Series Thermal Imaging Camera within seconds. A new camera is not required to use this feature.
The system conveniently uses a standard flash memory card (RS-MMC). With a card reader, the video clips can be downloaded to a computer, stored, viewed and followed up for documentation. The system offers up to 2 hours recording capability, providing a complete overview ofthe environment and incident in which the camera was used.
The Video Capture System features the same housing as the Evolution Transmitter, offering the same high durability, as well as the same lithium ion rechargeable battery and charger used in the whole Evolution 5000 Series of Thermal Imaging Cameras.
Product Information
The Video Capture System (VCS) records the complete scene that the TIC sees. The system is capable of recording up to two hours of video, virtually eliminating the risk
of a user missing critical information. The VCS is ideal for training and documentation purposes. A standard card reader stores the information and simply connects to a PC/laptop to download the recorded video. Still pictures can be captured from the video footage using available software programs like "Print Screen."
