Things To Know Before Buying Any Flir Infrared Cameras

What is MSX technology

MSX (Multi-Spectral Dynamic Imaging) enhances the clarity of your thermal images by adding visuals details in real time. With exceptional thermal clarity, it will highlight exactly where the problem is without any compromises. It works well on both thermal images as well as still images. You can easily turn MSX mode on and off with FLIR Ex Series.

What does thermal sensitivity indicate

Thermal sensitivity has a major impact on image quality and measurement capability. Thermal sensitivity will indicate whether the heat camera will produce a crisp or slightly noisy image. The best heat cameras have sensitivity close to 0.06. An average camera has a thermal sensitivity close to 0.15

Image detector capability and image resolution

The image resolution is measured by pixels. A high-resolution image will mean a fine detailed and clear image. A decent FLIR Thermal camera has 80 x 60-pixel resolution while a high-end professional FLIR thermal camera has a 320 x 240-pixel resolution.

Smart Phone compatibility vs Handheld

FLIR thermal imaging system when connected to a mobile device will give you a much bigger picture and it is a lot more compact to take it anywhere with you. Smartphone thermal cameras such as the FLIR One Pro offers compatibility for iOS, Android USB-C and micro USB. However, some professionals prefer the ones with much higher thermal sensitivity and capability so they will often opt for the handheld ones like the EX-XT series.

WIFI feature with FLIR cameras:

The Wifi feature allows you to capture thermal images and instantaneously upload it on FLIR One pro app so it can be viewed or share immediately on different devices.

Minimum and maximum operating temperature:

The temperature range will indicate at what temperature your thermal imaging system is able to operate. The high-end FLIR Ex series’ heat sensor can work in a wide range of temperature from -20 degrees to +250 degrees with great accuracy.

FLIR warranty:

FLIR is known to make exceptional quality thermal imaging cameras. However, should you experience some difficulties with your FLIR devices, they are backed by a legitimate Australia warranty from 2 to 10 years, depending on what thermal camera it was.
