ActiveTrak Inc. was approached by FLIR, the leading manufacturer of infrared and thermal imaging cameras to create a custom solution for their devices. The project entailed creating a version of our patented GadgetTrak technology that could be embedded directly into the camera’s firmware. When the device is connected to a PC, GadgetTrak reports location and other forensic information regarding who is in possession of the camera.

The price point for these devices range from $3K to $300K and a solution to assist in keeping track of them was of huge value to FLIR’s customers. Launched as a co-branded product under the brand “ThermaTrak” the service was offered as part of the extended service warranty, or sold as a stand alone service for $99 per year. In addition to creating a custom client for FLIR’s cameras, a custom user interface was created for customer services representatives to register customers, as well as a co-branded front-end that customers could access to activate the tracking of devices.

The project was completed on schedule and launched in the Summer of 2009 to their customers with a very positive response, measured by the increase in users who opted for the extended warranty plans, or who purchased the stand alone subscription. “This is the first-ever theft tracking system for IR cameras. We are very excited to announce our exclusive agreement with GadgetTrak to offer this new recovery technology customized to FLIR IR cameras,” said Tom Scanlon, vice president for FLIR. “The affordability and protection is exactly what our end-users want.”
