Every object gives off infrared energy, and a thermal sensor turns those temperature differences into an image. Inspection cameras go a step further and measure the temperature of what you're looking at, while thermal monoculars are built to detect and identify warm bodies at distance. If you're kitting out for time on the land, you'll also find gear in our hunting gear range.
Our Range of Thermal Imaging Cameras
We stock thermal imaging cameras and accessories from trusted brands:
- HIKMicro: handheld thermal inspection cameras from the compact Pocket2 and Wi-Fi-enabled M20W through to the M31 and M60, with temperature measurement, an 8MP visual camera and fusion image modes.
- Pard: Leopard 640 thermal monoculars in 35mm and 50mm, with a 640 x 512 sensor, laser rangefinder up to 1,000m and IP67 weatherproofing.
- XSPECTER: T-CROW camera carrier systems with a remote-controlled swivel, stabilisation, and suction cup, magnet or tripod mounting.
Who a Thermal Imaging Camera Suits
- Electricians and technicians: Find overheating breakers, loose connections and stressed components before they fail.
- Plumbers, builders and HVAC trades: Trace hidden pipes, leaks, missing insulation and air gaps.
- Solar and off-grid owners: Check panels, battery terminals and cabling for hot spots.
- Farmers and landholders: Scan paddocks and fence lines at night for stock, pests and wildlife.
What to Look for in a Thermal Imaging Camera
Sensor resolution
Thermal resolution is far lower than a normal camera, so it matters more. A 256 x 192 sensor like the HIKMicro Pocket2 is fine for close-up electrical and building work. Stepping up to 384 x 288 or 640 x 480 shows finer detail and lets you inspect from further back, which helps with switchboards, large machinery and roof spaces.
Thermal sensitivity (NETD)
NETD tells you the smallest temperature difference the sensor can pick up, measured in millikelvin (mK). Lower is better. The HIKMicro cameras here sit under 35mK to 40mK, and the Pard Leopard monoculars are rated at 20mK or less, which helps pick out animals against cover.
Measurement or observation
If you need temperatures in a report, choose an inspection camera with spot measurement and radiometric images, like the HIKMicro range. If you need to see what's moving at night and how far away it is, a thermal monocular with a laser rangefinder is the better tool.
