High definition (or high resolution) thermal imaging refers to the fine detail and clarity of a thermal image. This means it contains a large number of pixels per unit of area. In this case, a thermal imaging camera taking a high definition photo means you will find smaller problems at greater distances. You can find significant problems that could be missed with a lower resolution thermal imaging camera. More pixels mean greater temperature measurement accuracy, particularly for small objects. To the professional thermographer, a high definition thermal imager means a strong competitive advantage.
Our new P640 high definition thermal imaging camera has a 640x480 detector, which delivers 307,200 pixels versus 76,800 in a thermal imager with a 320x240 detector. That’s 4 times better resolution (16 times better than a thermal imaging camera with a 160x120 detector)! A thermal imager capable of doing that saves you plenty of capture and reporting time.
A high definition thermal imager is ideal for someone in the utility industry because you can resolve greater detail with smaller targets, while still looking at the larger picture. This is important because it saves time, makes you more productive, allows you to take fewer photos with your thermal imager, and improves worker safety. You can be twice the distance away as compared to a 320x240 thermal imaging camera, or 4 times the distance as compared to a 160x120 thermal imaging camera. This type of thermal imager can be used on substations, switchyard, transmission and distribution lines, all of which are littered with this type of target.
It is also the new standard for consultants who use a thermal imaging camera. Whether you seek to expand your business, justify higher billing rates, or providing highly accurate reports to your customers, a high definition thermal imaging camera is a must-have for consultants whose core business is providing thermal imaging inspection services. This type of thermal imager means improvement in your survey and reporting efficiency.
A high definition thermal imager is also ideal for top-level thermographers whose work environment demands the best thermal imaging camera and technology. A high definition thermal imager is ideal for the full-time thermographer who intends to use his thermal imaging camera every day, and may be required to produce detailed, sharp-looking thermal imaging photos, informative reports to either cost-justify to senior management or insurance companies the effectiveness of your thermal imaging predictive maintenance program. This type of thermal imager results in an endless amount of time and money saved!
