FLIR Cloud™ services platform for security products

FLIR Systems has introduced FLIR Cloud™, an easy-to-use cloud-enabled service platform that offers instant remote access to FLIR security products using a smartphone / tablet (iOS / Android™), PC, or Mac. FLIR Cloud services carry a range of exciting benefits, not only for the end-user, but for dealers as well.

FLIR Cloud ensures reliable connectivity with a quick and simple 3-step setup process that makes complicated networking and port forwarding a relic of the past.

Users can purchase additional Cloud recording storage to complement the hard drive on their recording unit.
