1 - General Troubleshooting
Thermal cameras designed for general troubleshooting are often compact, fast and reliable. They commonly focus on simple point-and-shoot system for ease of use and require very little user training or knowledge. Resolution is sufficient for front-line diagnostic tests, such as identifying if circuits are on, or if there is a poor electronic connection resulting in higher resistance etc. However higher resolutions are often required by professional technicians to run detailed successful preventative maintenance programmes.

2 - Commercial & Industrial Preventative Maintenance and Fault Finding
Thermal Image Cameras designed for Commercial, Industrial and Building applications typically offer higher resolution for better quality data capture. Focus systems are often automatic or manual, which gives the professional user the option to adjust camera settings to ensure accurate capture of the chosen target. Applications may include identification of weak spots and leaks in flat roofs, identification of poor or ineffective insulation, troubleshooting of underfloor heating, wear loading of industrial motors etc. Straightforward reporting systems are also critical to compile data reports and utilise effective methods of sharing data. Commercial and industrial professionals rely on analysing data quickly and easily to run a successful maintenance programme. The thermal cameras shown below offer these capabilities.
