Fire Rescue & USAR Search Cameras
See. Listen. Talk. Rescue Informed.
See Inside. Communicate Outside. Rescue Smarter.
Rescue search camera systems for fire and USAR teams. Your operator sizes up the space from outside, talks with the person inside, and shares the live streaming with command.
Where Zistos search cameras are deployed
- Collapsed structures and void search
- Confined space
- Trench and excavation
- Hazmat: containers and cavities
- Flooded basements and water-filled voids
See First. Communicate First. Enter Informed.
See • Talk • Share
- See before entry. Your operator works the camera head into voids, wall cavities and collapsed spaces, and changes camera modules as the search changes.
- Talk with the person inside. Zistos TalkBack system speaks and hears at the camera head while the camera holds visual contact. It is a voice link and speaker system.
- One image, more eyes. The operator plus two additional live observers watch the same live image. Video runs over low latency encrypted WiFi, with wired operation included.
- Thermal and low light. With the dual mode thermal head, your operator reads a heat signature, then switches to the low light view for detail without pulling the pole out of the void. The modes are switchable, not fused.
Thermal imaging products are subject to U.S. export regulations (EAR). Availability outside the United States depends on license review.

FAQ
What is a USAR search camera?
A remote visual inspection system on a pole or probe. It lets a rescuer see into a void, wall cavity or collapsed space from outside, so the team can size up the space before anyone commits to entry.
Is two way audio the same as acoustic or seismic detection?
No. Zistos TalkBack system speaks and hears at the camera head while the camera holds visual contact. It is a voice link and speaker system, not a detector. APEX and SPRINT do not include acoustic or seismic detection.
What is the difference between Zistos APEX and Zistos SPRINT?
Zistos APEX is the full modular platform for extended technical search. Zistos SPRINT is run by one operator, goes in first and can be fielded in greater numbers. They complement each other across phases of a search.
How many people can watch the live image on APEX?
The operator plus two additional live observers. Video runs over low latency encrypted WiFi, with wired operation included.
Does Zistos train our team?
