Thermal Imaging Camera Meets RESNET Inspection Requirements

Sept. 8, 2010

FLIR Systems announced prices for its FLIR i5 and FLIR i7 thermal imaging cameras. The entry-level FLIR i5 will retail for $1,595. The FLIR i7 will retail for $1,995.

The FLIR i7 meets the proposed RESNET thermal-imaging inspection requirements. Both models are available for immediate shipment through authorized FLIR distributors. The cameras are suited for home inspectors, building inspectors, energy audit professionals, plant maintenance technicians, and water damage restoration specialists who would like to upgrade from a single-spot IR thermometer to the big picture of a FLIR infrared camera.

The FLIR i5/i7 IR cameras can be used to diagnose problems, improve efficiency and ensure worker safety. Both thermal imagers offer 2% thermal accuracy, a large 2.8-inch color display and 80-by-80 pixel resolution on the FLIR i5 or a RESNET-compliant 120-by-120 pixel resolution on the FLIR i7. The FLIR i5 offers a center-spot measurement mode, and for extensive analysis of job sites, the FLIR i7 adds area (minimum/maximum) and isotherm (above/below) measurement modes. 

 Both IR cameras capture infrared images in FLIR’s radiometric JPEG format, which permits users to rely on only one image file both for temperature analysis and reporting as well as for easy sharing in e-mails, Microsoft Word documents and other applications.
