Buying an infrared camera is a big commitment. Even though these cameras have fallen sharply over the past few years, you want to make sure you choose the best option for your money and your chosen camera will serve you in the long run. For some, the cost factor plays a key role in choosing, while for others, key hardware and software are more important. In any case, any camera you choose should provide you with quality and reliability, as well as technical support and appropriate service.
There are many choices of "catch and take pictures" models up to the specialized HD models in front of you. Finding the best choice for your needs looks daunting. By studying the 12 points that follows, you can measure the exact perception of what you want and the environment in which you are going to make measurements.
1) According to your budget, buy a thermal camera with the highest resolution / image quality
Most infrared cameras have fewer pixels compared to visible light cameras, so be sure to pay attention to the resolution of the detector. The higher the resolution of the detector, the camera can scan smaller targets at far distances and obtain clearer images of them.
Also watch out for the difference between the detector resolution and the display resolution. Some manufacturers make a lot of announcement about the resolution of the LCD screen while hiding the low-resolution camera's detector. However, keep in mind that the resolution of the detector is much more important because the quality of the images of the thermography is always determined by the resolution of the detector.
