FLIR i5: My Newest Review
This is a post about the benefits of owning a thermal camera if you are a homeowner or contractor doing some light energy efficiency work. The following is what I observed when using a Flir i5 here at the office.
Thermal Imager Cameras
Which one? (Part VI) – FLIR T Series bx for Building Diagnostics Applications
In a world filled with chaos and seemingly infinite thermal imaging choices, one man seeks to reveal the truth about the features and uses of Flir’ series of cameras. This is part VI and the completion of this heroic quest - FLIR T Series bx (T420bx, T440bx, T620bx, T640bx) for Building Diagnostics Applications!! (Too overdramatic?). Anyway, this is the last one for this blog series.
Which one? (Part V) – FLIR T Series for Electrical/Mechanical Applications
My epic blog series continues with Part V of Flir’s “How to Choose” video series; this installment focuses on the T series cameras and their benefits as applied to electrical and mechanical applications. If you have read my other post (and I will be greatly saddened if you have not…), you have a good idea of the features available thus far in Flir’s camera line.
Which one? (Part IV) – FLIR E Series bx for Building Diagnostics Applications
FLIR “How to Choose” Series Episode IV: A New Hope (for home diagnostics). There’s a Star Wars joke for you nerds out there. And now down to business… The FLIR E Series bx cameras are specially designed to handle building inspection applications and ensure that you can get your results to homeowners, contractors and insurance companies to show what needs to be fixed and where – all in an instant.
Which one? (Part III) – FLIR E Series for Electrical/Mechanical Applications
The epic saga of the FLIR “How to Choose” summaries continues with this third installment. This time around we are taking a look at the E series cameras with particular regard to electrical and mechanical applications. FLIR’s video lists the same jobs as in its i-series videos but notes that the E series is most useful for applications that require more frequent thermal camera use.
Get the Big Picture With IR Imaging
Whether you’re a plant/building MRO professional, electrical or HVACR contractor, or a building inspector, FLIR’s i-Series infrared (IR) cameras allow you to see what you’ve been missing. Rugged, lightweight, and affordable, FLIR i3, i5, and i7 IR cameras feature a large 2.8-inch color LCD that lets you view detailed temperature variations on critical systems, components, and connection panels.
Which one? (Part II) – FLIR i Series for Building Diagnostics Applications
Previously on Brady’s blog… we discussed FLIR’s new “How to Choose” video series and looked at the i-series as it pertains to mechanical and electrical applications. This post is also on the i-series but takes a look at its features with an eye towards building and home inspection applications.
The Fluke TiS – ‘TiS a Great Thermal Imager
Today let’s talk about inexpensive thermal cameras, specifically the Fluke TiS. As you heard from me previously, and know from being in the field, Fluke is a manufacturer at the top of their game. The Tis is Fluke’s entry level offering in the thermal market and it is, as usual, a solid piece of equipment.
To Fluke? - Or not to Fluke? A Simple Question (About Thermal Imagers).
This is a post in praise of Fluke. I honestly carry no bias in this and many companies make great products that are comparable in lots of ways. This post is just to let you know exactly what you are getting when you purchase Fluke, specifically their line of thermal imagers.
Fluke Ti Series Vs TiR Series Review – What Are You Doing With It?
Even the most versatile tools won’t do everything. I’m sorry to tell you but the thermal camera that also takes electrical readings, tests fiber optic cables, analyzes combustible gases, and cooks you scrambled eggs hasn’t been invented yet. Joking aside, the lesson is that you need choose a tool that, while flexible, is tailored to tackle your specific job. So how do you choose a Fluke camera?
