Ms. Jorhahl:
Please be advised that MSA is the sole manufacturer of the Evolution 5000 Thermal Imaging Camera.
MSA manufacturers the Evolution 5000 in our facility in Cranberry, Pennsylvania.
MSA has incorporated several unique features into the Evolution 5000 that distinguishes it from every
other TIC on the market. Following is a list of those unique features:
I. The Evolution 5000 uses the Indigo Omega 160X120 Vanadium Oxide Microbolometer
sensor with customized set points that extend the camera's sensitivity for optimal
performance in the fire service.
2. The Evolution 5000 has a true, un-cropped 3.5" diagonal display and a 55w x 44h field of
view that provides the user with mui.: information, minimizing the chance of missing
something.
3. The Evolution 5000 has an on screen shutter indicator.
4. The Evolution 5000 has a patented dual handle design for easy hand-off for one firefighter to
another.
5. The Evolution 5000 has both a true temperature bar graph and digital readout temperature
display.
