Once the preserve of the few, thermal imaging is now the technology of many. And the good news is that it has never been more affordable. Technology leader FLIR has actively driven this trend. High demand for its cameras across diverse markets has allowed the cost benefit of volume manufacturing to be passed onto the customer.The FLIR i5 compact infrared camera is one beneficiary.It now costs £1,595, nearly a third less than its purchase price when it was introduced in 2008. This camera is extremely easy to use – just point, shoot and detect. It can be used for a broad range of predictive maintenance and building applications enabling problem areas to be clearly seen on a crisp thermal image.
