FLIR Systems says it has redefined the parameters for find-it-fix-it thermal imaging by offering more quality, more storage, more value for money with the new Infracam SD
Rated at 0.12K NETD, the new Infracam SD can display a clearer image than its predecessor.
The camera also comes with removable SD card able to store more than 1000 radiometric jpeg images.
This allows it to be used for a longer time before the need to download the images.
It also gives the operator the option to leave the customer with a copy of survey findings.
More application specific functions are introduced with the Infracam SD such as area max/min which allows the operator to find the absolute hottest or coldest temperature on a small target - saving valuable survey time.
Naturally this new model also includes standard Infracam features such as a laser pointer, the ability to charge the battery within the camera and an IP54 housing.
The package includes the new Thermacam QuickReport software whose file format is fully compatible with that of the professional Thermacam Reporter.
This means that in line with growing experience in infrared the user can upgrade to a more sophisticated reporting package.
All images can now be used, exchanged and analysed across the entire Flir Systems's Thermacam range - from the simple troubleshooting camera through to the world's highest resolution portable camera, the Thermacam P640.
Having compared Infracam SD with its nearest Flir Systems model, how does it rate against its nearest competitor? Its thermal resolution is nearly twice as sharp, says Flir.
Better images allow faults to be identified quickly so the Infracam SD makes it easier to do a more efficient job.
Instead of 50 images on an internal memory the Infracam has 128mByte of image storage on a removable card.
The Infracam is almost half the size and weight of its rival, which improves both its ease-of-use and portability.
The Infracam SD has 17% more pixels on a 33% larger LCD display.
Infracam also has a significantly longer battery life of almost double that of its nearest competitor.
"The Infracam SD is a good example of where Flir Systems is taking thermal imaging," explains UK sales and marketing manager, Paul Sacker.
"We're continuing to enhance the value of our affordable products with more image quality, more storage, more measurement functions.
"As a company we invest significantly in research and development and the Infracam SD shows the value of this commitment."
