Flir T400 Series thermal imaging cameras out-perform competitors
Flir says that its new Flir T400 Series thermal imaging cameras out-perform all other cameras in the same price bracket. These latest models retain excellent ergonomics and benefit from a range of new and innovative features.
Heading that list of innovations on the top-of-the-range T440 is Flir's Multi Spectral Dynamic Imaging (MSX) that produces an image that is rich in detail and texture. This patent-pending technology provides more thermal information, taking the guesswork out of image analysis and enabling problems to be spotted in their infancy.
Two models complete the new Flir T400 Series, the T440 and the T420. They provide an excellent bridge in the company's range between the new high-performance, entry-level Flir E60 and low end Flir T-Series models, and the advanced Flir T600 Series. In addition to MSX, this new range provides up to 8x digital zoom, auto-focus, resizable and moveable Picture-in-Picture, Thermal Fusion and digital camera video recording.
An instant report is easily created in the camera and this can include voice, text and sketch annotations that are applied via the 3.5inch touchscreen. An important Flir feature continued in this new camera series is exchangeable lenses that greatly extend the application scope. In addition to the 25deg standard lens, 6deg, 15deg, 45deg and 90deg optics are available.
Multi Spectral Dynamic Imaging (MSX)
MSX technology, being introduced in the new Flir T400 Series cameras, is the result of Flir's continuous development of its onboard process that provides extraordinary image details in real time. MSX incorporates real-time thermal video enhanced with visible spectrum definition and its purpose is to highlight any thermal problems, however small. This 'unique-to-Flir' technology ensures easier target identification without compromising radiometric data, thereby helping to identify and solve problems faster.
Market feedback on the Flir T-Series always praises its ease of use, so Flir has built on this popularity by adding bigger buttons, one of which is programmable, providing easy access to favourite functions. The T-Series' tiltable optical unit is included so that the target can be imaged and thermally measured at the most comfortable angle for the camera user.
Flir has pioneered the use of wireless connectivity in the infrared market and the advantages of this technology are available in the latest cameras. Built-in Wi-Fi provides for the wireless transfer of images or remote control of the camera via a smartphone or tablet PC. The Bluetooth-based Meterlink function additionally enables readings to be transmitted from similarly equipped meters to the thermal image.
Software
In common with all new Flir thermal imaging cameras, the Flir T400 Series comes complete with the new Flir Tools software that enables thermal images to be exported to a PC for basic reporting and analysis of findings. It allows the flexible handling of the thermal image, the addition of headers, footers and logos and the creation of PDF image sheets.
The new Flir T400 Series models are also compatible with the newly upgraded Flir Reporter software that provides more sophisticated reporting functions.
