Industry's first pocket-sized thermal camera captures heat patterns in real-time

Nov. 16, 2015 - CHICAGO - Newark element14 today announced the availability of the FLIR C2 Infrared Camera from FLIR Systems , the industry's first pocket-sized thermal camera to offer a full list of features to support building industry experts and contractors. The FLIR C2 is ideal for detecting hidden heat patterns that signal energy waste, structural defects, plumbing issues and more.

The FLIR C2 captures heat patterns in thermal image JPEGs with 4800 pixels and detects thermal measurements from 14 degrees Fahrenheit to 302 degrees Fahrenheit on a high resolution screen using FLIR's patented MSX real-time image enhancement. MSX adds key details to the thermal images to make numbers, letters, texture and other features clearly recognizable without compromising the thermal image.

The device is equipped with a 3-inch touch screen that includes auto orientation and a built-in LED spotlight for photo illumination, while only weighing 0.29 pounds. Its USB port allows for easy data transfer and its internal memory can store 500 images at a given time. The FLIR C2 also allows users to stream non-radiometric IR-video using the included software.

FLIR Tools professional reporting software is included with purchase for thermal image post analysis. Users can take advantage of this software to adjust thermal image levels, isolate and add temperature measurements and change color palettes.

The FLIR C2 Infrared Camera is available for $699 from Newark element14 in North America.
