Dräger UCF® FireCore hands-free thermal imaging camera
Nothing can hold you back

The Dräger UCF® FireCore hands-free thermal imaging camera gives you a permanent vision of your immediate surroundings, even under the toughest conditions. That allows you to orientate yourself more quickly and safely, while also improving your situational awareness.

Rapid assessment of the situation during firefighting
Especially during firefighting, difficult conditions such as fire, smoke and darkness prevail. The UCF® FireCore provides important orientation, helps to quickly assess the situation, and thus identify potential hazards.
High level of flexibility.
No matter whether you are crawling or climbing stairs, you always have a complete overview, because the camera angle is flexibly adjustable. This reduces physical strain, such as neck pain.
Thermal imaging camera is easily detachable.
Especially when firefighting you often need to enter areas that are difficult to access. The UCF® FireCore makes it easier to manoeuvre, because you can simply detach it to capture a view of what is waiting in hard to reach areas. That gives you even better situational awareness.
