Device Description The handheld thermography camera is a device with both optical images and thermal images. It can do thermography, video recording, snapshot capturing, alarm, and it can connect to Wi-Fi, hotspot and Bluetooth. The built-in high-sensitivity IR detector and high-performance sensor detects the variation of temperature and measure the real-time temperature. The temperature measurement range is -20 C to 550 C (-4 F to 1022 F) with the accuracy of 2 C ( 3.6 F) or 2% when the ambient temperature is 15C to 35 C (59 F to 95 F) and the object temperature is above 0 C (32 F). The picture-in-picture technique of the camera and the fusion of optical view and thermal view, enhances the details of the images display. It supports multiple palettes and alarm types. When the detected temperature in the scene does not match with the alarm rules, the device alarms by color of the palette mode automatically. It helps to find the risky part and lower your property loss, but it can not be used for human body temperature test. The device is easy to use, and adopts ergonomic design. It is widely applied to substations, electricity prevention detection of companies, and reconnaissance survey of construction field. 1.2 Main Function Thermography Device detects the real-time temperature, and display it on the screen.
