Digg Why Bullard TIs are Better
The Bullard Product Line
Since Bullard introduced its first thermal imager in 1998, breakthroughs have defined our business. Bullard established the industry standard with
the legendary Bullard TI, quickly securing the number one position in the market. From simple one button operation, to the most
advanced command unit, Bullard offers firefighters what they need to get the job done, at price points to meet the needs of every fire department.
- BULLARD TOUGH - The most durable thermal imagers in the world, Bullard Thermal Imagers have regularly proven themselves in the real world. Better than any laboratory, real-life firefighters test and approve our product every day where it matters most: in real life.
- Designed for Firefighting: Bullard Thermal Imagers are designed with your uses in mind. With two distinct product lines, Bullard Thermal Imagers designed for the fire service are essential firefighting tools, with practical features such as crawling bumpers and carrying straps for optimal handling. You won’t find a one-size-fits-all product here. We design and build Bullard Thermal Imagers with input from fire departments around the world, including those on our staff. Designs consider how firefighters hold equipment, how they interact with their tools, and how firefighters do their jobs.
- Proven Technology: Bullard Thermal Imagers use advanced infrared technology that was developed for the military and has proven its merit in the fire service.
- “Keep it Simple” Philosophy: Our products do not have gimmicky bells and whistles. Some of our products have only one button. We do incorporate powerful features on some products, but we make sure they are easy to understand and use and that they offer superior benefits to firefighting operations.
- Supporting Accessories: Bullard offers convenient performance-enhancing accessories, including vehicle-mounted charging systems, wireless remote transmitting systems, tripod / clamp mounting brackets and two mobile receiving systems.
- Versatile Power Supply: Rechargeable nickel metal hydride (NiMH) batteries will not develop a memory, and are not suseptable to fire and explosion as are Li-Ion batteries. The charging system can charge the battery in the camera and a spare battery at the same time.
