It operates in the 8 to 14 micrometer long-wave infrared (LWIR) band using a 256 × 192 microbolometer array, providing four times the pixel count of a 120 × 90 thermal sensor. Each microbolometer responds to absorbed infrared energy by changing its electrical resistance. The camera's onboard processor analyzes these resistance changes and converts them into temperature data for individual pixels, producing a detailed false-color thermal image.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA secondary 720P visible-light camera captures a conventional image of the same inspection area alongside the thermal image. The camera system accounts for the positional difference between the thermal and visible sensors and aligns the images to provide a more accurate visual reference. Outline fusion places visible-image edges over the thermal image, while overlay fusion combines thermal and visible information at an adjustable ratio. Picture-in-picture (PIP) displays a thermal image window within the visible-light frame, giving users multiple ways to interpret thermal data within its physical surroundings.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 5-meter distance compensation feature adjusts temperature calculations to account for changes in infrared signal as it travels through the air. This extends the correction distance beyond the 2-meter range commonly found on entry-level thermal cameras. During an inspection, high- and low-temperature tracking continuously identifies the hottest and coldest points within the viewed area.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor detailed post-inspection analysis, the companion 3D thermal analysis software can reconstruct a spatial model from captured thermal images. This provides additional insight into temperature distribution and helps users review thermal patterns after field measurements are complete.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eHandheld Thermal Camera - QualiTC™ 17 Technical Specifications\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ctable class=\"table\" border=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003cthead\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eParameter\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eSpecification\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/thead\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eIR Resolution\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e256 × 192\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eLens\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e3.2 mm, F\/1.1\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWavelength\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e8 to 14 μm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eImage Algorithm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eTisoView image algorithm set\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eNETD\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e50 mK @ 25°C\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eField of View (Thermal)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e42° (H) × 56° (V)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eVisible Light Resolution\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e720P (1280 × 720)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eVisible Light Field of View\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e55° (H) × 83° (V)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMeasurement Range\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e-20°C to 550°C (-4°F to 1022°F)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFrame Rate\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e25 Hz\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eAccuracy\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e±2°C or ±2% of reading, whichever is greater\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eTemperature Measurement Modes\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFull-screen hotspot, cold spot, center point, and regional temperature measurement\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eTemperature Compensation\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDistance compensation within 5 meters\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eImage Modes\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eOutline fusion, overlay fusion, picture-in-picture, thermal image, visible image\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eColor Palettes\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eIron Red, White Hot, Black Hot, Rainbow, Red Hot, High Contrast, Green Hot, Lava\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eScreen Size\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e2.8 inch\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eLanguage Support\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eEnglish, French, German, Spanish, Russian, Portuguese, Dutch, Arabic, Japanese, Korean, Chinese\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eInterface\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eUSB Type-C (charging and data transfer)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBattery\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBuilt-in lithium battery, 2600 mAh rechargeable\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWorking Hours\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eApproximately 4 hours, depending on environment\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eOperating Temperature\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e-10°C to 60°C\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eStorage Temperature\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e-40°C to 85°C\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eStorage Capacity\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e8GB built-in memory (approximately 6.19GB available), stores more than 20,000 images\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eProduct Dimensions\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e70 × 80 × 200 mm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eNet Weight\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e310 g\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePacking Dimensions\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e115 × 170 × 300 mm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eImage and Video Format\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eImage: JPG; Video: MP4\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e","brand":"Qualitest USA LC","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52807727087927,"sku":null,"price":0.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0786\/1859\/1543\/files\/handheld-thermal-camera-qualitctm-17427425959.webp?v=1786345032","url":"https:\/\/qualitest.us\/fr\/products\/handheld-thermal-camera-qualitc-17","provider":"Qualitest USA LC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
