Advanced camera system
Fotokite's latest-generation camera includes a radiometric thermal camera, a wide-angle color camera and a color zoom camera mounted on a three-axis gimbal. Data from these sensors is combined to provide the user with simultaneous, continuous video streams.
Situation awareness at the touch of a button
Fotokite Live is the native operating software for the Fotokite Sigma. Critical situational awareness is permanently available on a rugged tablet, enabling responders to make increasingly information-based decisions through a simple, straightforward interface.
Carrying case
The carrying case configuration means that the Fotokite Sigma can be used interchangeably between vehicles, offering great flexibility in deploying the system at the scene of an incident.
Roof box
The Rooftop Box configuration is the centerpiece of Fotokite, enabling immediate and unrestricted enhancement of situational awareness. Designed for integration into SUVs and heavy-duty vehicles, the Rooftop configuration deploys at the touch of a button.
