Product SearchCam Recon II
The SearchCam Recon II extends the technical rescuer’s search capability. Designed for Urban Search and Rescue teams, the SearchCam Recon II features a telescoping probe that extends the rescuer’s viewing area to over 10 feet. This general-purpose camera system is ideal for use on rubble piles and in multi-floor search operations.
"We’re part of a State USAR team. We talked to other FEMA and state USAR team members when deciding which camera to purchase. The Searchcam 2000 seemed to be the standard and what was recommended. We bought the equipment based on the standard for the FEMA teams, relying on the word of the people who are using it most often. The Searchcam 2000 works great on top of the rubble and feeds down through the voids. We wanted more versatility and maneuverability so we bought the Recon II and the Mongoose. Once physically inside the collapsed voids, we needed a smaller camera. The Recon and Mongoose work great while inside the tighter void spaces."
-- Frank Devine, Technical Rescue Team Leader, Station 1, City of LaCrosse, WI
