TG298 Thermal Imaging Camera with High Temperature Spot IR Super Resolution 320x240 (160x120 Native IR) and Bullseye Laser: Industrial Infrared Spot Camera for High-Temp Applications

I use this infrared imaging tool all the time! I just used it the other day to check my fuse panel to see if any of the wires were getting hot (I do this once a year). Wires can get hot and deform from the stress of heating and cooling, eventually they get loose enough to cause some arching, more heat and carbon buildup, which then gets even hotter and can start a fire in your fuse panel. But I mostly use this for checking temperatures on circuit boards to see if any of the parts are getting too hot. I also like that the app on my phone can show me the temperature graph as it goes up and down overtime. The images are very clear and it’s very easy to see which component on the board is getting too hot. I just need to find a way to make a stand for this device and it would be nice if you could send the thermal image from the camera via Bluetooth to a screen or a computer to show on a larger display. This is also very good for identifying cold spots in your attic or basement so many other uses! I believe this was designed for HVAC use, but it has so many other uses. I am so glad I bought this, it was worth every penny!

I'm no expert on using and interpreting the thermal images. Not even close. This unit did a good job of tracking down cold spots and indicating warm spots. For example, I had my electric throw on and sitting on the sofa, and it showed the framework of the wiring and that the wires were all working. It's easy to find hot and cold water pipes behind walls. Active electric wires too. A water leak would probably show up as a cold spot behind the wall or above the ceiling. I could see the cold attic joists through the ceiling. We had some work done but hadn't yet replaced the insulation, and you could see it through the drywall. That was pretty impressive to me. The downside is that it added to my list of things to do. I imagine if you had mice or chipmunks or worse, it would pick those up too. I don't think I'd want to go looking for them, however. :-) I picked up a possum outside on a cold night. We know the possum is around, but we didn't know where or if it was close, and it wasn't far away. We just leave it be, but it's cool to be able to "see" critters in the dark. Again, not an expert. I just wanted to find sources of cold air intrusion in the winter and this pointed me in the right direction. I was able to remediate some of the problems and make it more comfortable. It charged up quickly and it was easy to read the images. Get the initial reading of a spot, then let it focus on that spot for a minute to see what, if anything, changes. I used it for a while and didn't need to recharge the battery. I had no problems with the images stuttering or loading slowly. I didn't take too many permanent images and try to save them. It seems to do the job, it's uncomplicated, but I'm also not the person who will be using it hard. It did what it promised to do for this amateur.

The camera was able to show me all the areas around my house that needed attention. It was actually pretty shocking to see all the areas of my home in the middle of the winter that were not sealed very well. You can see all of the studying headers and you can also see extreme Temperature variations around receptacles and light switches, but I live in an old home. i’d buy this again.

It is a solid feeling instrument, but a bit dated in software and documentation. The last firmware available is 2018. The documentation (printed and online) says to use the Flir Tools app on the phone. This does not work with the TG267. Tech Support said to use Meterlink instead, and that connected easily. I only have one complaint with that software - to Bluetooth photos to the phone, you have to do it one at a time, you can't do groups of photos. That is a pretty poor oversight. It seems to do fine with viewing thermal images. I believe the lag problem some have mentioned is caused by trying to align the two images in low ambient lighting. Under brighter conditions there seems to be little lag. The alignment is sometimes off, but easily adjusted while viewing, no need to even open a menu. The attached image is of the electric heating elements in a bathroom tile floor - they show up quite clearly. Very useful if I ever need to drill a hole in that floor! There are a number of color palettes available (it defaults to Rainbow). I found the B&W modes most useful and less confusing. This image is White Hot, you can also choose Black Hot for the reverse image. The hardware feels solid and well protected - made for a rugged work environment. Battery life seems reasonably good too. My only hardware complaints are on two of the buttons: the OK button and the trigger (for taking photos). I have to pull at the very top of the trigger to get it to take a photo, simply pully on it normally does not work. The OK button seems to function normally, except when it comes to power off. Then I have to find a magic spot (right at the very top of the button) that will turn it off when held long enough. I spent days figuring out which thermal imaging device to get. I finally settled on this one. I do like not having yet another thing attached to my phone, and it is solid (especially compared to the fragile USB phone connections of some others). I am undecided that, if I know what I know now, I would still get this one or look for a different one. But I don't regret this purchase.

Equipo demasiado bueno, me lo habían recomendado y en efecto, es lo que me dijeron, es muy versátil y se puede usar en muchas áreas que a veces no las pensamos. Recomendado ampliamente al 1000%. 👍🏻👏🏻

Voor de doe-het-zelver is dit een hele handige tool om tochtplekken in je huis te spotten. Het is gebruikersvriendelijk en werkt goed. MAAR: de batterij is niet verwisselbaar. Ik ben bang dat over 2-3 jaar de batterij 'op' is en ik de warmtecamera moet weggooien. Daar is dit stukje techniek mij te duur voor.

Por el precio podía dar más información como temperatura máxima y mínima como lo hacen otras de inferior calidad y más económicas. Lo del sistema MSX muy logrado, funciona muy bien

Le produit correspond parfaitement au descriptif du site, avec un tres bon rappoet qualite prix

This is a brilliant piece of kit. As a motor mechanic I use this for many aspects of diagnostic work. A major tool company well known in the motor trade sell a product that is £1000 and no where near as good as this product.
