FLIR P660 handheld infrared camera

The FLIR P660 is claimed to be the world's highest resolution, off-the-shelf, handheld infrared camera and contains such features as GPS, an image processing tool and remote control.

It has been designed and developed for applications that need good image quality, temperature measurement accuracy and better thermal image detail.

The camera has resolution of 640 x 480 pixels with a high thermal sensitivity of 45 mK.

The GPS data is automatically stored with the infrared imagery, adding location information to inspection reports which guides inspection and field repair teams to the correct sites.

There is also a contrast optimiser, a special algorithm that enhances details in contrast-rich imagery and enables the user to clearly view both the scanned object and its surroundings.

An optional wireless remote control device steers all vital functions of the infrared as well as the visual camera from a safe distance.

It carries the picture-in-picture function, allowing the user to overlay, pan and scale an infrared image on the visual image. As all measurement data are retained, a full analysis of the combined images can be done.

The camera system includes a 3.2 megapixel visual camera, a large 5.6-in colour LCD, tiltable viewfinder and a 3 h battery.
