SEEK AttackPRO VRS — REAL-WORLD MODE COMPARISON
This video features the SEEK AttackPRO VRS thermal imaging camera, used during an exterior walk-around of a residential structure.
All thermal footage shown was captured using the SEEK AttackPRO VRS. The differences shown are the result of mode selection, not different camera models.
IMPORTANT CONTEXT
During this training evolution, two SEEK AttackPRO VRS cameras were operated simultaneously during a single exterior walk-around:
One set to Thermal Imaging Basic Mode (300°)
One set to Survey Mode (150°)
Both cameras were carried at the same time and walked around the structure together. The video is edited into sections only to clearly show each mode. The conditions, movement, and environment are the same, and the cameras are capturing the same moment in time.
HOW THIS VIDEO IS STRUCTURED
The video is presented in three parts to demonstrate how the SEEK AttackPRO VRS displays heat differently depending on the selected mode and how that affects firefighter interpretation during size-up.
PART 1 — VISUAL + TI BASIC MODE (300°)
The main video shows the visual eye during an exterior walk-around.
The overlay shows the SEEK AttackPRO VRS in Thermal Imaging Basic Mode, displaying heat color at 300°, establishing a baseline for heat interpretation.
PART 2 — VISUAL + SURVEY MODE (150°)
This segment highlights the SEEK AttackPRO VRS in Survey Mode, displaying heat color at 150°, captured during the same walk-around.
Survey Mode emphasizes lower-temperature heat signatures and early heat movement that may not stand out at higher temperature scales.
PART 3 — SIDE-BY-SIDE MODE COMPARISON
The final segment shows both thermal views together:
Thermal Imaging Basic Mode (300°)
Survey Mode (150°)
This comparison reinforces how mode selection alone changes what the camera emphasizes, even though the environment and movement are identical.
WHY THIS MATTERS
Thermal imaging cameras present data, but interpretation depends on how that data is displayed. Mode selection directly affects what stands out and what may be missed.
The SEEK AttackPRO VRS allows firefighters to choose the appropriate mode for the task, improving situational awareness and decision-making.
KEY TAKEAWAY
Same camera.
Same walk-around.
Same moment in time.
Different mode — different information.
TRAINING ACKNOWLEDGEMENT
This footage was captured during a Burn & Learn acquired structure training hosted by the New Douglas Fire Department in New Douglas, Illinois.
Thank you to the New Douglas Fire Department and the mutual aid fire departments that attended and participated in this training.
MAX FIRE TRAINING & SEEK THERMAL
In the past, Max Fire Training would not have put its name on Seek thermal imaging cameras. That changed with the introduction of Seek Thermal’s Mixed Gain Mode technology.
Max Fire Training staff now use Seek thermal imaging cameras during emergency incidents, acquired structure burns, and Max Fire Box Burn & Learn sessions.
Max Fire Training is a proud vendor and certified trainer of Seek Mixed Gain Mode thermal imaging cameras.
WHY MIXED GAIN MODE MATTERS
Many thermal imaging cameras switch between high and low sensitivity, which can cause firefighters to lose detail as the image changes.
Seek Mixed Gain Mode does not switch sensitivity.
The image remains constant, providing better continuity, improved detail retention, and more consistent interpretation.
TRAINING MATTERS AS MUCH AS THE CAMERA
When fire departments purchase Seek thermal imaging cameras through Max Fire Training and add Max Fire Box Phase I and Phase II in-service training, firefighters are able to put meaningful reps on the camera in an interactive learning environment.
This ensures firefighters understand the camera and the image before operating on an emergency scene.
