![]() ![]() As later demonstrated, battery life is excellent and the tripod mount was exceptionally useful for getting good video recordings.īuild quality is rock-solid. Sensor noise is generally quite good, allowing for easier visualisation of subtle temperature differences such as the studs inside walls. The MediaInfo output for a file straight from the camera is as follows: Format : AVCĪs it records to microSDHC card, it can be easily replaced when it gets full or wears out. ![]() Finally, as you may have noticed, these videos lack any radiometric scale or marker data and are more useful for visualising changes in temperature over time and their distribution, but not their actual temperature values. ![]() Another downside is that they are recorded as 1280 x 720 resolution at 25fps and thus need to be resized into the 3:4 ratio for proper viewing. To work with these files, it is easiest to wrap them into an. ![]() One downside is that recorded videos are in a container-less. The specifications of the TC004 seem good on paper, sporting a higher resolution (256 x 192), lower thermal noise (NETD) of Visually, it has a lot of similarities to the TG267 and likely targets a similar market. I was approached by Topdon (a company most famous for their automotive diagnostic products), seeing if I had any interest in reviewing their TC004 Handheld Thermal Imaging Camera. I’ve also been fortunate to have a Fluke 279 FC/iFlex thermal imaging DMM which is useful, but limited in resolution, difficult to download images from and quite thermally noisy. I’ve always wanted to have thermal imaging capabilities and as such, have recently reviewed the FLIR TG267 which I was not too impressed with as it seems artificially limited in its capabilities and suffered major parallax issues due to its sensor set-up. Recently, due to COVID-19, such cameras were very difficult to obtain due to their widespread use to detect febrile individuals to prevent the spread. As a result, it is increasingly being used in many industrial applications such as automotive, HVAC, electrical distribution, electronics, building and energy auditing for a variety of applications. Being non-contact, it’s a safe way to measure the temperature of items without putting yourself at risk. Thermal imaging is like magic – by measuring the infrared light emitted by a surface, you can infer the temperature of the surface if you know its emissivity. ![]()
