Thermal Inspection Cameras, or thermal imagers, are cameras with thermal sensors. They are useful tool for electronics, construction, home inspection, car/airplane maintenance and repair, air conditioners and heaters.
The most important factors to consider when choosing a thermal imaging camera are:
The most important factors to consider when choosing a thermal imaging camera are:
- Thermal image resolution. Higher resolution, better the thermal images. The minimal resolution of 60x60 pixel is required to get a acceptable image. TH-3 is 60x60, HT-18 is 220x160 and HT-19 is 320x240.
- Temperature range
There are three types of thermal imaging cameras:
One is handheld with trigger like gun shape (Model HT-02, HT-04D, HT-04, HT-18 and HT-19)
Another is palm-held pocket size like a smartphone (HT-A1 and HT-A2)
Third is thermal cameras connected to a smartphone. (HT-201 and HT-301, for Android device only now)
The table below will help you choose a right thermal camera for your applications. A general rule is that, higher resolution, better image quality and easier for your job.
