CAUTION:
PathFindIR is designed for commercial, over the road, automotive applications.  While many other applications are possible, each user should carefully consider additional protection and installation methods that might be required for any given application.  Mechanical, environmental and electrical requirements should be evaluated to assure that PathFindIR can be utilized with satisfactory results.  Particular attention needs to be given to the electrical system that will power the PathFindIR as the camera is designed for the automotive 12 V DC power environment and conforms to ISO 7637-2 requirements for transients and disturbances on the typical automotive power system.  If the PathFindIR is installed in applications other than commercial automobiles, additional power conditioning or protection may be required.

NOTE:
Please be aware of the fact that even though the PathFindIR appears to be the same as the Night Vision camera used on some BMW models, these devices are not compatible. Although the mechanical and operational properties of these cameras are similar, the interface and software in the cameras sold to BMW and other OEMs are unique configurations. For example, cameras sold to manufacturers contain encoded keys that must match with other vehicle identification information in order to operate. FLIR feels that it is necessary to document this fact so that potential users understand that a camera removed from a commercial vehicle, although it may look like a PathFindIR, cannot be made to operate when separated from the vehicle. Also a PathFindIR cannot be used as a replacement for a camera on a vehicle that was originally equipped with a Night Vision system.
