The FLIR C5 is a compact thermal camera designed to identify temperature anomalies during building inspections, electrical checks and maintenance work. Its pocket-sized design and weight of 190 g make it easy to carry on site.
The 160 × 120 pixel thermal sensor measures temperatures from −20 to +400 °C. MSX technology adds visible image details to the thermal image, making equipment and anomalies easier to identify. The 3.5-inch touchscreen allows images and measurements to be viewed directly on site.
Wi-Fi connectivity and FLIR Ignite enable image transfer, storage and sharing. The built-in rechargeable battery provides approximately 4 hours of runtime and charges via USB-C. The housing offers IP54 protection and is designed to withstand a 2-metre drop.
