A Thermography Hero’s Welcome from FLIR
Patrol officers, security personnel, and American troops use FLIR infrared technology
to protect lives and resources every day. In many ways, you as a thermographer do,
too. With thermal imager in hand, you have access to an amazing ability—to see
problems you otherwise couldn’t and fix them before they cause delays, waste energy
dollars, hurt someone, or shut things down. We think that’s pretty heroic stuff and
certainly a respectable way to make a good living.
Enjoy learning more about the technology as you explore our showcase of FLIR products. Then get ready to grab hold
of the growing number of opportunities. And count on us to help you find the exact thermal imaging solution you need
to help save the day.

Which Camera is Right for You?
Whether you’re new to infrared inspections or already a Level III thermographer, a variety of
important factors will figure into your thermal camera decision: how often you use the camera,
what you’re inspecting, the angles you’re shooting from, target size, high temperatures,
distance, and other considerations. That’s why we’ve created this guide to help you determine
the right fit for your application, budget, and the way you like to work.
For example, many utilities prefer our T640 because the camera’s rotating lens system makes it comfortable to aim up at
overhead components while keeping the display at eye level. That’s significant when doing a full day of intensive substation
inspections. 640 resolution and telephoto lenses make detecting distant, small targets easier for them, too. Those same
companies also carry handy i-Series cameras on their trucks so crews can do quick scans for overloaded circuits and safety
checks before entering underground vaults or using a disconnect stick.
Or, consider the insulation contractor who got off to a fine start with our low cost i7 and quickly became known for finding all kinds
of ways to help people save on their energy bills. As his home performance business took off, he added a second camera to keep
pace, choosing an E60 for its higher IR detail and built-in digital camera so he could document side-by-side comparisons. The FLIR
app connectivity to his iPad made it easier to show results to customers. And the 320 × 240 image clarity improved his web site
marketing.
As you can see, different requirements mean one thermal imager may or may not fit all. So, along with this helpful guide, we
encourage you to consult with your FLIR representative, who will be more than happy to help you hone your decision.
