The InfraCAM Value Package provides a complete starter kit for anyone wishing to incorporate thermal imaging into their routine.
Thermal imaging camera provides clear images
The Flir Systems InfraCAM SD thermal imaging camera comes with removable SD card able to store more than 1000 radiometric .jpeg images.
This new infra-red camera has a 120 x 120 pixel uncooled focal plane array that displays an outstandingly crisp image in a choice of colour palettes on its 3.5in LCD.
This quality allows the operator to identify more problems before they become expensive failures.
With a high quality image, a field of view of 25 degrees in both axes, a 200mK sensitivity and temperature range of -20 to +350C this low-end introduction is far from a low-end performer.

Reporting software maximises camera benefits
QuickReport is now part of a bundled package for its InfraCAM, ThermaCAM E-series, and building-specific BCAM and ThermaCAM B-series cameras.
It also couldn't be simpler to use.
Its point and shoot operation and simple plug and play report generation makes the InfraCAM a highly time-efficient tool.
InfraCAM has a fixed measurement spot in the centre of the image and comes with a simple twist-to-focus lens which suits the majority of find-it-fix-it applications.
It is controlled by four buttons and a joystick allowing the production of quality thermal images in seconds.
In addition InfraCAM has an inbuilt Laser LocatIR allowing the operator to associate a hot spot with the real physical target both easily and safely.
This is particularly important in electrical environments.
Weighing less than 550g, InfraCAM is designed to be easily portable and is IP54-rated to withstand harsh industrial indoor and outdoor use.
A long-life battery ensures more than 7 hours of continuous operation time and is designed to be recharged in the camera; additional batteries are available as optional extras.
InfraCAM stores infra-red images in its dedicated internal memory in standard .jpeg format; these can be viewed on the camera's image gallery.
With just one click any image can be downloaded to a PC and inserted directly into standard Windows programs such as Word, Excel and PowerPoint.
The camera package includes the ThermaCAM QuickView software that allows basic post-analysis of the captured IR images and the creation of simple reports in PDF format.
The list price of this new addition will allow even more small businesses to benefit from the advantages of infra-red technology.
It is well within the scope of any SME, electrical contractor or professional electrician.
InfraCAM also adds value to customer-service by providing proof of the problem and the remedial action taken.
"Price has always been the stumbling block to the wider use of infra-red technology", concludes Paul Sacker, Sales and Marketing Manager FLIR Systems UK.
"But not any more.
InfraCAM has broken through the price barrier, it's the world's first true toolbox infra-red camera". Request a free brochure from Flir Systems ...
