Flir Systems Australia's IR P660 infared thermography camera - an industry first

FLIR has unveiled its latest handheld IR P660 camera with
industry first technology designed to set new benchmarks for professional
thermography.
The P660 - now available in Australia following a recent global launch is
packed with new features such as GPS, innovative image processing tool and
remote control.
The P660 has been designed and developed for applications that need superior
image quality, temperature measurement accuracy and better thermal image detail.
Its high resolution 640 x 480 pixel detector with a very high sensitivity
of 45 mK can make the difference between seeing or not seeing a thermal
anomaly, especially when looking at small or distant targets.
The FLIR P660 is equipped with a full range of measurement functions and is
packed with industry-first features. Its integrated GPS adds value to
maintenance in the utilities, energy, telecom, mining, facility management,
logistics and other sectors that have to deal with inspection assets scattered
over larger areas.
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.
"We are proud to present the world's most advanced handheld infrared
camera," Lars Lidman, Vice President Sales and Marketing Asia Pacific of
the FLIR Systems Thermography Division.
"FLIR's engineering power and market insight has resulted in an instrument
with groundbreaking features such as GPS, contrast optimization and wireless
remote control."
The P660 also features a Contrast Optimizer, a special algorithm that
enhances details in contrast-rich infrared imagery and enables the user to
view clearly 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 so that the
user can work safely in places that are difficult to access.
The FLIR P660 carries the Picture-in-Picture function which allows 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.
FLIR's Thermal Fusion functionality enhances the value of an infrared image
by allowing the user to overlay it directly over the corresponding visible
image in real-time. The functionality combines the benefits of both the
infrared image and visual picture at the push of a button. It allows for
easier identification and interpretation of infrared images.
The FLIR P660 camera system includes a 3.2 megapixel visual camera, a large
5.6" color LCD, tiltable viewfinder and a 3 hour battery, all in a rugged
lightweight magnesium package that weighs less than cameras with a fraction
of the resolution and performance features.
The camera system measures temperatures from -40oC to +500°C in its standard
version with an optional measurement of up to +2000°C. See all the hot spots
with a new 3.2 megapixel auto-focus visual camera and the new Thermal Fusion
and Picture-in-Picture tools.
