Thermal Imaging technology detects people and objects in the darkest of nights and in harsh weather environments, rain, smoke and light fog, enabling the monitoring and detection of activity over considerable distances.

Thermal imaging cameras operate without any light whatsoever producing clear, crisp images revealing the smallest of details. Being able to see in the dark is of huge benefit in security applications. Intruders won't even know they're being observed.

Conventional CCTV incorporating low light technology does not provide effective and comprehensive 24/7 monitoring without sufficient illumination using lights or IR illuminators. Installation, maintenance and energy costs associated with providing necessary illumination should be factored in to any decision when installing CCTV.

Thermal imaging technology allows you to see farther, recognise more detail and respond quicker.

Thermal Imaging Cameras:

If you are new to Thermography and need a general purpose Thermal Imaging Camera for troubleshooting, the Extech i5 is perfect for you! This pocket sized, fully automatic camera is designed for entry level Thermographers. It's easy to use and loaded with all the Thermal Imaging functions you'd expect from a professional grade camera at a fraction of the price.

Extech i5 stores its images with unique ID in radiometric JPEG format on a standard miniSD Card. All of its 6,400 thermal pixels can be analyzed using QuickReport software. Images can then be inserted into email, Word and Powerpoint documents for sharing without losing any of the valuable radiometric data.

The i5's high 2% accuracy produces sensitive thermal images for general purpose maintenance analysis. The fixed lens with focus-free feature makes using the Extech i5 a snap. At just 12 ounces, the i5 is the lightest, most compact thermal imaging camera in the world.
