Spotlight: Squadnods™
The Tactical Thermal System Built With Getac + NightRide
Full Visibility in Darkness
See animals, suspects, and hazards that headlights cannot reveal.
Darkness, Fog, and Obstructions Don’t Care About Your Mission
Every year, agencies lose vehicles — and officers — to nighttime hazards.
Traditional headlights, spotlights, and dash cameras fail to reveal:
- Animals on roadways
- Subjects hiding behind brush
- Heat signatures through fog or glare
- Hazards during nighttime pursuits or searches
- Vehicles or obstacles outside standard headlight range
Thermal video doesn’t rely on light. It relies on heat.
That means real visibility when officers need it most.
What Mobile Thermal Video Delivers
Sector’s Squadnods brings thermal imaging directly into the officer’s sight line — using rugged vehicle mounts, Getac’s mission-ready displays, and NightRide thermal technology.
Operational Advantages You Can Feel Immediately
“The thermal technology is huge. It turns the night into day… Not even just for deer strikes, but for foot pursuits — thermal is going to see them. If they’re hiding underneath something, you’re going to see them. We asked our deputy for a no-bull assessment: ‘Would you buy another one?’ He said: ‘Yes, it’s a no-brainer.’”
— Sheriff Jason Barnes, Madison County Sheriff’s Office (Iowa)
