Thermal imaging technology has progressed significantly in recent years. From simple devices, industry professionals can now get a closer look and record footage on a specially designed camcorder.

The testo 876 Camcorder Thermal Imager Set allows users to identify anomalies and weak spots in buildings, mechanical components, switching cabinets and even photovoltaic systems. This can be especially handy during the construction phase as teams can seek out cold bridges and address them before the job has been completed.

Here are three key features of the testo 876 Camcorder Thermal Imager Set:

1) Exchangeable lenses

As part of the kit, you receive exchangeable lenses. The benefit of this feature is that you can guarantee that you always have the right image section in the display. As a result of this, users can see more scope and in-depth information and there is more flexibility when thermographing on the job.

This camcorder has a detector size of 160 x 120 pixels and can capture images to 320 x 240 pixels.

2) Flexible fold-out, rotatable display

Similar to a large digital camera, the camcorder has a flexible fold-out, rotatable display in view. This means if the environment is small or hard to get to, users can take thermographic measurements in any position and still be able to view it on the screen.

Users can also pinpoint anomalies and weak spots secure in the knowledge that the camcorder is reaching every corner.

3) Special measurement mode

If you are operating in an environment where mould and similar problems are common, then it can be difficult to spot cold spots or anomalies.

To combat this, the camcorder has a special measurement mode installed to differentiate between mould and cold spots so identification of the problem can be made easier and quicker.
