MORE FEATURES, MORE FUNCTIONS, MORE EFFICIENT

FLIR Systems has again redefined the parameters for find-it-fix-it thermal imaging for building diagnostics.  The latest addition to its range offers even more value-for-money features, more storage and even better quality. It also introduces more building specific features to make the task of fault finding even more efficient.  The pricing of this new camera also reflects FLIR Systems

More application specific functions are introduced with the BCAM SD, features that were previously only available on the higher end ThermaCAM® B-Series cameras.  In addition to the dew point alarm that identifies areas at risk from condensation, the BCAM SD also includes an insulation alarm.

This separate function integrated in the new model allows the operator to determine immediately whether or not a building is well insulated.  All that is required is for a temperature measurement of the outside face of a wall to be taken and a critical surface temperature factor applied.  When the temperature is then taken of the inside face of the same wall the new feature will calculate which areas are inadequately insulated and highlight them in an ‘alarm’ colour on the infrared image.

The package includes the new ThermaCAM® QuickReport software, whose file format is fully compatible with that of the professional ThermaCAM® Reporter.  This means that in line with growing experience in infrared, the user can upgrade to a more sophisticated reporting package and software enhancements such as ImageBuilder.  All images can now be used, exchanged and analysed across the entire FLIR Systems ThermaCAM® range – from the simple troubleshooting camera through to the world’s highest resolution portable camera for building diagnostics, the ThermaCAM® B640.

Having compared BCAM SD with its nearest FLIR Systems model, how does it rate against its nearest competitor?  Firstly there is no other infrared camera in its class with the building specific functions of the BCAM SD but it offers several other benefits too.  Importantly its thermal resolution is much sharper.  Better images allow faults to be identified quickly so the BCAM SD makes it easier to do a more efficient job.

Instead of 50 images on an internal memory the BCAM SD has 128 mByte of image storage on a removable card.  It is almost half the size and weight of its rival which improves both its ease-of-use and portability.  Image quality is enhanced by 17% more pixels on a 33% larger LCD.  BCAM SD also has a battery life of almost double that of its nearest competitor.

“The BCAM SD is a good example of where FLIR Systems is taking thermal imaging,” explains UK Sales and Marketing Manager, Paul Sacker. “We’re continuing to enhance the value of our affordable products and provide more application specific functions to make the job of spotting faults easier and more efficient. As a company we invest substantially in research and development and BCAM SD show the value of this commitment.”
