Customer ReviewsStreamline industrial, electrical, and mechanical surveys and repairs with this camera's Inspection Route*mode for running pre-planned routes created in FLIR Thermal Studio Pro†. Record temperature data and imagery in a sequence with this camera for more efficient troubleshooting and repair scheduling, then upload images directly to the FLIR Ignite‡ cloud for secure storage, sharing, and importing into Thermal Studio. In addition, this camera offers advanced on-camera measurement tools, laser-assisted autofocus, and industry-leading image quality to ensure that you find and diagnose problems quickly.
Features
Make critical decisions quickly
Advanced imaging technology and high sensitivity help professionals make the right call - fast.
Maximize efficiency, safety, and performance
Assess equipment and prevent component failure safely from any vantage point.
Tools to make the job easier
Organize findings in the field with built-in navigation and reporting features.
Storage capacity
When you save an image, the camera stores the image file on the memory card. The size of an image file (with no annotations) is typically less than 1000 kB. Thus, the capacity of a 8 GB memory card is approximately 8000 images. Note: Empty or use a memory card that has not previously been used in another type of camera. The cameras may organize files differently on the memory card. There is therefore a risk of losing data if the same memory card is used in different types of cameras.
Applications
*FLIR Inspection Route camera firmware required
†FLIR Route Creator Plugin required
‡FLIR Ignite firmware update required for models purchased prior to 2022

Today’s customers get to choose between 14, 24 or 42 degree lenses, but the question is… what to choose? We can help!
Here you’ll find a gathering of various building component or electrical component images that I have taken as well as my guidelines for each type of inspection.
The 24˚ lens is an excellent in-between option, however I feel the 42˚ lens will be the better choice for most applications.
In these applications the distance is longer and it’s important to take this into consideration. Ideally if you’re prepared to invest in more than one lens, my recommendation would be the 42˚ and 14˚ lenses. Since you will need to carry out both short distance audits and long distance audits. If you’re only interested in buying one lens, then the 24˚ lens is the best choice.
If your are working with IR windows on your electrical cabinet 42˚ lens would be your go to. Given that you need to be up close and personal with the windows so the shorter distance lens is the way you want to go.
Give the often short distances available to get the full span of shelves in computer rooms the 42˚ lens is the best choice, as you can see a 19” shelf at a short distance.
A final note, doubling the resolution is ideal for any application, by using the E95 or T540 over the E75 or T530 you get almost equivalent pixel resolution using a 42˚ lens over the 24˚ lens. Example at a 5 meter distance the IFOV (size of one pixel) will be 6.60 mm (E75-24) & 7.81mm (E95-42). It is almost like having 2 lenses in one.
