(Teledyne FLIR: Wilsonville, OR) -- Introducing the latest addition to Teledyne FLIR’s polarized Blackfly S GigE camera lineup—the BFS-PGE-123S6P-C. This new 12MP model is well suited for applications dealing with reflective or challenging lighting conditions. Ideal for use cases like traffic systems, unmanned aerial systems (UAS), inspection lines with transparent or reflective parts, and other uncontrolled lighting environments.

Weighing in at just 36 grams, the camera is significantly lighter and more compact than competing offerings on the market. Read along for more detailed specs, pricing, and to consult a specialist about your project requirements.
