FLIR C3: Small but Mighty Thermal Imaging Camera
When you buy things you expect to get value for the money you paid, so naturally the more expensive an item is the more quality and durability you expect. Buying testing equipment, thermal imaging camera more specifically, is no exception. Although in the past it’s been the purchase that wasn’t known for affecting the budget lightly, nowadays thanks to technology it’s possible to find top notch products that still won’t get to your wallet as much. This means both parties would end up being satisfied: those who are after quality IR camera features, and those who are after cost-effectiveness.
The world of IR cameras is vast, all differing in sizes and features, but one that stands out is certainly the FLIR C3 thermal imaging camera, famous for its compactness. This is your choice when looking for the IR camera that can still give you the precise results even though it’s pocket sized. Since objects absorb, reflect and transmit energy, they give off heat or cold which can be seen with IR equipment so you can be sure on detecting moisture problems, mechanical faults, air leaks, energy losses as well as pest problems with the help of this camera.
Don’t be fooled by the size; small as it might be, the FLIR C3 thermal imaging camera is designed to provide fast diagnosis of thermal anomalies, due to the spotmeter’s function displaying the maximum and minimum temperature, and its 3” intuitive touchscreen, functioning same way the touchscreen does of tablets and smartphones, enables easy access to all the menus through the screen which means this tool is user friendly. Another key feature is the wi-fi connectivity, making it possible to connect the IR camera to tablets and smartphones with the help of a FLIR Tools app and quickly import and share images right from the site where you’re measuring.
Similarly, you have the chance to stream videos through USB and that’s the feature you wouldn’t expect in such a compact and affordable thermal imaging camera. The FLIR Tools software program also makes for easy downloading of the radiometric images to a computer. A feature that’s greatly of use is the MSX image enhancement that works by capturing a thermal camera image and a visual camera image, resulting in the merging of both – a thermal image with the visual details for easier detection of thermal problems in the range of -10°C and +150°C.
While it’s ideal for professionals handling structural inspections, this thermal imaging camera is also perfect for home use as it can be of help in teaching you to unplug devices and appliances when not in use if you want to be more energy-efficient and see whether your home insulation is in order.
