Ditch the clipboard
With so many inspections in your day, it can be hard to remember what you saw and where you inspected. Maybe you carry around a clipboard to jot down notes. This thermal camera comes with built-in personal assistants, which means you can finally ditch the clipboard and have all the information you need embedded in the images you save, including:
- Voice annotation
- Record up to 60 seconds per thermal image
- Identify exactly what you see in real time
- IR-PhotoNotes
- Take photos of asset numbers and other identifiers
- Use as a reference when looking at the thermal image on your computer
- Asset Tagging
- Sort your thermal images by asset
- Scan a QR code on your asset, then start capturing thermal images
- Images will automatically be sorted by asset, simply connect your camera to your computer to view them
Applications
- Preventative and predictive maintenance
- Equipment troubleshooting
- Building diagnostics
- Research and development
The importance of image quality in thermography
When conducting infrared inspections, high-quality images that allow for better analysis, presentation, and professionalism are essential.
With a sharply focused image, there is a distinct contrast between areas of varying thermal energy on the surface being inspected. This allows the individual detector elements (also known as pixels) to clearly report the intensity of the energy being focused on them.
When the focus is poor, the incoming energy isn't as concentrated on individual detectors, and their response is skewed. This can lead to temperature measurements that are significantly off, resulting in expensive downtime and possible safety hazards.
Thermal imagers are made with 100% diamond-turned germanium lenses covered with a specialty coating, providing premium quality images.




LaserSharp Auto Focus allows you to select and focus on a specific target
Easily choose and focus on your target
LaserSharp™ Auto Focus uses a built-in laser distance meter that provides both speed and precision. The laser-driven target detection pinpoints the target while the camera focuses to capture a precise, high-quality image. With LaserSharp Auto Focus, you can:
- Easily capture high-quality, focused images of your desired target with the push of a button
- Take infrared images through common obstacles like chain link fences
- Avoid skewed temperature measurements by precisely choosing your target
- Perform the same inspections multiple times as a part of your preventive maintenance program - the built-in laser distance meter calculates and displays how far you are from your target, making repeatability much easier
Choose multiple targets at different distances
MultiSharp™ Focus takes multiple images from different focal distances and combines them into one clear image. With a simple point and shoot, you can go from being completely out of focus, to complete focus, throughout the field of view. With MultiSharp:
- Reduce the need to take individual images of targets that are in the camera's field of view - focus on one target, and all objects that are in the camera's field of view will be in focus
- Cut downtime spent taking multiple images to increase productivity
- Capture quality, in-focus images, even under direct sunlight

Shoot from a distance
Infrared inspections can take you into multiple types of environments with many types of equipment. Interchangeable lenses that require no calibration give you the versatility and the image quality needed to conduct inspections in almost any environment.
- Reduce the need to enter the danger zone with a 2x telephoto lens
- Identify potential issues as small and distant as a failed splice on a high electrical line from the ground with a 4x telephoto lens
- Save time with roofing and industrial building inspections by viewing a large area at one time with a wide-angle lens

Easily manage and analyze your data
Whether you are troubleshooting or conducting maintenance inspections, having easy access to more information faster is always a big benefit.



Document information on the equipment you're inspecting
With IR PhotoNotes™, voice or text annotation, you can easily document critical information about each piece of equipment and its location. Each "note" attaches to the image, so you never have to search or match up notes to images.
- Document critical information with your infrared image
- Capture surrounding details like wind conditions and time of day
- Identify asset location

Capture digital and infrared images at once
IR Fusion™ technology combines visible light and an infrared image into one, giving you better clarity.
- Get exact location details in picture-in-picture mode, which provides the center part of the display in IR and the remainder of the image in visible light
- See more details when you adjust the level of infrared and visible light blending in AutoBlend™ mode
- Isolate problem areas with user-defined temperature ranges with IR color alarms

ROI and thermal imaging
Seven benefits of on-site infrared inspections
- Reduce downtime
Inspections can be done while equipment is running - no lost production time. - Protect lives while doing more
The non-contact nature of infrared inspections allows technicians to scan large areas quickly, from a safer distance away. That means technicians can inspect more equipment faster. - Improve production efficiency
Subtle problems are found and addressed before they have a major impact on production. - Document before and after
Validate post-maintenance work and capture the results for future review. - Reduce capital expenses
Finding and repairing problems at an early stage can improve the life expectancy of equipment, as a result extending replacement intervals. - Increase productivity
Quickly scan a large area to find air leaks, insulation gaps, moisture and overheated electrical components to complete more work in less time. - Identify work in easy-to-understand terms
See exactly what the problem is on the camera, eliminating guesswork and making it easier for everyone to see what repairs needs to be done.

Review thermal images side by side, making it easy to compare today's reading with the baseline or other historical images.
