Why would you choose a FLIR thermal imaging camera? There are other technologies
available to help you measure temperatures in a non-contact mode. Infrared thermometers
for example.
Infrared thermometers vs thermal imaging cameras
Infrared (IR) thermometers are reliable and very useful for single-spot temperature readings,
but, for scanning large areas or components, it’s easy to miss critical components that may
be near failure and need repair.
A FLIR thermal imaging camera can scan entire motors, components, or panels at once -
never missing any overheating hazards, no matter how small.
Use thousands of infrared thermometers at the same time
With an infrared thermometer you are able to measure the temperature at one single spot.
FLIR thermal imaging cameras can measure temperatures on the entire image. The FLIR
E4 has an image resolution of 80 x 60 pixels. This means that it is equal to using 4,800 IR
thermometers at the same time. If we look at the FLIR T640, our top model, which has an
image resolution of 640 x 480 pixels, this means 307,200 pixels or using 307,200 infrared
thermometers at the same time.
Find problems faster and easier with
extreme accuracy.
It’s easy to miss critical problems with a spot
IR thermometer. A FLIR thermal imaging
camera scans entire components giving you
instant diagnostic insights showing the full
extent of problems.
