Handheld Thermal Camera - QualiTC™ 15

The QualiTC™ 15 Handheld Thermal Camera combines thermal imaging and visible-light imaging to help electricians, HVAC technicians, building inspectors, and maintenance professionals identify hidden heat, moisture, and equipment issues. Its 120×90 thermal sensor works alongside a 720P visible-light camera, allowing users to view thermal and visual images side by side or combine them for clearer inspection results. With a temperature measurement range of -20°C to 550°C (-4°F to 1022°F), the camera supports electrical, mechanical, HVAC, plumbing, floor heating, and power distribution inspections.

Dual-Camera Thermal Imaging for Faster Inspections

The QualiTC™ 15 provides multiple image modes, including outline fusion, overlay fusion, and picture-in-picture, giving users greater flexibility when locating potential faults. Thermal data can be placed over the visible scene to make hot spots, cold areas, and temperature differences easier to identify. A high-temperature alarm provides visual and audible alerts when measurements exceed a preset threshold, while high- and low-temperature tracking automatically identifies the hottest and coldest points within the scene.

The camera includes 8GB of built-in storage for saving thermal images and video. Files can be transferred to a computer through USB Type-C, while the included software supports real-time thermal streaming and 3D thermal modeling for further analysis and reporting.

Portable Thermal Camera for Field Applications

Powered by a rechargeable 2600 mAh lithium battery, the QualiTC™ 15 provides approximately four hours of continuous operation on a single charge. Its compact 70 × 80 × 200 mm design and 310 g weight make it convenient to carry with other inspection and testing equipment.

The camera operates in temperatures from -10°C to 60°C and can be stored between -40°C and 85°C, making it suitable for a wide range of field, job-site, and transportation conditions. The QualiTC™ 15 is also available in two appearance options, providing flexibility for organizations looking to align the device with their preferred visual identity.

Handheld Thermal Camera - QualiTC™ 15 Applications

Handheld Thermal Camera

The QualiTC™ 15 Handheld Thermal Camera combines thermal and visible-light imaging to support faster troubleshooting across electrical, mechanical, HVAC, plumbing, and building inspection applications. Its image fusion capabilities help users identify temperature differences and potential faults while maintaining clear visual context. This makes the camera suitable for both experienced thermography professionals and users who are new to thermal imaging.

  • Electrical Inspections and Power Systems: Identify overheating breakers, connectors, cables, terminals, and power distribution equipment before excessive heat leads to equipment damage, unexpected downtime, or electrical hazards.

  • Floor Heating and Radiant System Diagnostics: Visualize heating element layouts beneath flooring and locate cold spots, uneven heating, or failed heating zones without removing floor materials.

  • Plumbing and Water Leak Detection: Detect temperature differences and moisture-related patterns behind walls and beneath floors to help locate potential water leaks without unnecessary demolition.

  • Mechanical Equipment Monitoring: Check motors, bearings, pumps, and other mechanical components for abnormal heat patterns during routine equipment inspections and predictive maintenance.

  • Building and Home Inspection: Locate insulation gaps, air leakage, moisture intrusion, and temperature variations in walls, ceilings, windows, and other building areas. Combined thermal and visible images provide useful visual context for inspection documentation and client reports.

  • HVAC System Diagnostics: Inspect compressors, coils, ductwork, and other HVAC components for abnormal temperature patterns that may indicate airflow restrictions, system imbalance, or potential refrigerant-related issues.

Handheld Thermal Camera - QualiTC™ 15 Key Features

The QualiTC™ 15 Handheld Thermal Camera combines infrared and visible-light imaging with advanced measurement, alarm, storage, and analysis functions for efficient field inspections. Its compact design and practical imaging modes make it suitable for electrical, HVAC, mechanical, building, and equipment diagnostics.

  • Dual Infrared and 720P Visible Cameras: Captures thermal and visible-light images together, helping users identify temperature anomalies while maintaining clear visual reference for faster fault detection.

  • Outline Fusion, Overlay Fusion, and Picture-in-Picture Modes: Combines thermal readings with visible scenes to provide better inspection context without switching between separate imaging devices.

  • Eight-Color Thermal Imaging Palettes: Offers Iron Red, White Hot, Black Hot, Rainbow, Red Hot, High Contrast, Green Hot, and Lava palettes, allowing users to select the display style that best highlights temperature variations.

  • High-Temperature Alarm: Provides flashing and audible alerts when a measured temperature exceeds a preset threshold, helping draw immediate attention to potential overheating conditions.

  • High and Low Temperature Tracking: Automatically identifies and tracks the hottest and coldest points within the image as temperature conditions change.

  • 8GB Built-In Storage: Stores more than 20,000 images, providing ample space for thermal inspection records, photo documentation, and video files without requiring external storage media.

  • Direct PC Connection: Connects to a computer through USB Type-C for file transfers and real-time video streaming using a single cable.

  • PC Analysis Software with 3D Thermal Modeling: Includes software for analyzing captured thermal data, creating spatial 3D thermal models, and preparing inspection reports after fieldwork.

  • 2.8-Inch Display: Provides a clear viewing area for reviewing thermal images, visible scenes, measurements, and inspection results directly on the camera.

  • Two Appearance Options: Available in two housing styles while maintaining the same thermal imaging and measurement capabilities.

Theory and Method

The QualiTC™ 15 Handheld Thermal Camera detects infrared radiation emitted by surfaces above absolute zero and converts that energy into temperature information. The camera operates in the 8 to 14 micrometer long-wave infrared (LWIR) band and uses a 120×90 microbolometer array to capture thermal radiation. As each detector element absorbs infrared energy, its electrical resistance changes. The camera's onboard processor analyzes these changes and calculates a temperature value for each pixel, producing a detailed false-color thermal image.

A separate 720P visible-light camera captures a conventional image of the same scene at the time of the thermal measurement. The image-processing system accounts for the difference in position between the thermal and visible cameras and aligns the two images for combined viewing. Outline fusion places visible-image edges over the thermal image, while overlay fusion blends thermal and visible information at an adjustable ratio. Picture-in-picture mode places a thermal image window within the visible-light image, giving users multiple ways to interpret temperature data alongside the physical scene.

The QualiTC™ 15 also provides full-screen, center-point, and regional measurement modes, allowing users to select different areas of the thermal image for temperature analysis. High- and low-temperature tracking continuously scans the thermal frame to identify the hottest and coldest points. For advanced post-inspection analysis, the companion 3D thermal analysis software can reconstruct a spatial model from a sequence of captured images. This allows users to review temperature distribution across a surface in greater detail rather than relying only on a single two-dimensional thermal image.
