May 1, 2007
In response to a growing market, FLIR Systems has created the InfraCAM.
Flir Systems has created the InfraCAM portable infra-red camera, which has been awarded the Red Dot Design Award in the Product Design category.
The annual Red Dot Design Award spans various categories.
A total of 2548 products from 43 countries participated in the 2007 competition.
Selection criteria include the degree of innovation, functionality, ergonomics, durability, ecological compatibility and clarity of function.
Flir Systems InfraCAM is a compact infra-red camera that is light, easy to use and can be operated intuitively.
The InfraCAM is a portable infra-red camera that measures temperatures of objects and takes "heat images" based on the heat radiation that is emitted by every object, converting the thermal images into a standard electronic format.
The InfraCAM is mainly used to look for overheated electrical and mechanical components, as well as for insulation problems and water damage in buildings.
The InfraCAM design merges functionality, ease of use, versatility, compactness and ruggedness.
User requirements have been integrated into the design process to optimise the user interface and the large display.
It is suitable for a one-hand operation.
The award ceremony will take place on 25th June, 2007 in the Aalto Musiktheater in Essen, Germany.
The InfraCAM will be presented together with other award-winning products in a special exhibition and placed in the Red Dot Design Museum, the largest exhibition of contemporary design worldwide.
