CON-SPACE launches SearchCam 3000

President Gord Cook of CON-SPACE Communications announced the launch of its new SearchCam 3000, a technical search and rescue camera, which was designed with input from Urban Search and Rescue teams from around the world.

“Building on the success of the original SearchCam 2000, the new SearchCam 3000 incorporates forward-looking technology,” Cook stated. “Rescue workers told us they wanted a camera that is durable, reliable, provides a good picture, has a good light source, is mobile, versatile and easy-to-use. The SearchCam 3000 is all of these things and more.”

The SearchCam 3000 comes with interchangeable, waterproof camera heads that can be swapped on the fly, depending on what conditions rescuers are confronting. The camera can be expanded from 14 inches to 19 feet, eliminating the need to carry multiple cameras. Rescuers can also record video and capture still images of the search site which can later be used for post-incident evaluation or training purposes. “This camera was designed to give rescue workers everything they need and it eliminates redundant equipment,” Cook stated. “It’s setting a whole new standard for technical search and rescue cameras,” he added.
