N. Billerica, MA. (January 2006) – FLIR Systems, Inc. announces the release of the NEW ThermaCAM® P65HSV Infrared Camera – delivering outstanding thermal sensitivity and precise temperature measurement for the most accurate high-resolution thermal images ­ in real time. FLIR¹s P-Series infrared cameras are widely used by professional thermographers for commercial and industrial applications such as mechanical and electrical equipment monitoring and predictive maintenance. In fact, the P65 is the best selling infrared camera model, with thousands of units sold.

The P65HSV¹s large and detachable 4-inch color LCD screen displays crisp, clear images in either thermal or visual camera capabilities at the touch of a button ­ for optimal flexibility both while recording in the field, and for reporting findings after inspection. The P65HSV also boasts extremely high thermal sensitivity (to 0.05° C) and image quality (76,800 picture elements in each image) thanks to a maintenance-free, uncooled 320 x 240 microbolometer detector.

³A common mistake people make when buying an infrared camera is they don¹t understand the resolution of the camera¹s detector,² states John Keane, FLIR¹s Director of Sales. ³A 160 x 120 detector has 19,200 pixels; however a 320 x 240 detector has 4-times the resolution at 76,800 pixels. This allows you to see all targets much more clearly and identify problems more easily. It also allows you to see targets from much further away and still get an accurate temperature measurement. These are significant advantages when performing IR inspections.²

The P65HSV enables unprecedented infrared inspection efficiency and productivity due to its many built-in features and amenities such as interchangeable optics for optimal flexibility and image detail ­ including a wide-angle lens for imaging large objects, and a telescope lens for distant targets. A built-in Laser LocatIR is useful for pinpointing a hot spot on an infrared image and associating it with the physical target ­ greatly enhancing the ability to target inconsistencies.
