FIRE CAM® FIRE HELMET CAMERAS AND FLASHLIGHTS
Rob Schield invented the first Fire Cam® tools based on his own experience in the field. Our range of Fire Cam® cameras are designed to work in the challenging environments that fire and public safety professionals face every day. Durable, heat-resistant, and easy to use, our products provide critical intelligence for firefighters and investigators.
The Fire Cam Onyx 4K camera and Fire Cam 1080 or 1080 mini are designed to mount easily onto a helmet. Fire Cam provides all the accessories required, including mounts, batteries, charging cables, and replacement lenses.
Cameras can be purchased alone, or with the Fire Cam helmet flashlights. These powerful tools provide critical visibility even in dark and smoke-filled environments, outperforming some turnout coat lanyards. The ACE BlackJack Fire Helmet Mount and BJ800 multi-function firefighter helmet flashlight provide an optimal CREE XPL LED beam. The powerful 800 Lumen firefighter helmet light lasts for several hours and has a drop resistance rating of up to 4 feet.
How To Use Your Fire Helmet Camera From Fire Cam
For over 10 years when Rob Schield first developed the Fire Helmet Cam®, he has been asked a few questions time and again regarding how he uses his firefighter helmet camera. So he decided to answer some of these questions. The main question is “How do you use your Fire Cam on an incident?” Every call is different so he decided on the incidents that he will film and will not film. For example, if we are responding to a carbon monoxide call or a fire alarm, we typically do not turn the fire helmet camera on. If we are responding to a structure fire, car fire, weed fire we shall always start the camera while we are enroute to the incident. Do not wait until you get on scene as you will be busy pulling lines off or masking up. You need to turn it on and start recording as soon as you can.
In the end, if it’s a false alarm, you can always turn your Firecam firefighter helmet camera off and delete the file as you will have only wasted about 2-3 minutes of record time. Personally if you look at most of my videos here, you will see I turn it on after I get my SCBA on and I am fully dressed out in the rig. This way I am free to do my job and not worry about it. Keep it simple brothers. Turn it on before you get on scene.
