Fully-radiometric infrared cameras with software plug-ins are intended to deliver continuous temperature monitoring for research, science and engineering applications, in order to facilitate the analysis of thermal data.

The Fluke RSE300 and RSE600 infrared cameras from COMTEST are designed to continuously stream up to 60 frames of data a second, allowing for detailed monitoring of temperature patterns and variances. 

SmartView desktop software is included and allows users to remotely focus the camera, auto-capture images, adjust level and span, and analyse infrared videos frame-by-frame. The software allows the user to edit images, generate customised reports and export images to multiple formats to share thermal data.

Features of the cameras include the following:

• Improved thermal analysis: Thermal data from the infrared cameras can be pulled directly into MATLAB and LabVIEW, allowing users to statistically analyse and trend information.
• Identify heat build-up and dissipation: The cameras capture up to 640 x 480 resolution thermal and radiometric images and video to continuously identify heat build-up, as heat management becomes a priority in product development and testing.
• Test and troubleshoot: The cameras give users the flexibility to strategically mount the unit wherever there is an electrical connection, remotely focus the camera and transmit data and images to a personal computer. The cameras can be semi-fixed to set up repeatable thermal experiments to troubleshoot and improve first pass quality.

These cameras are IP65 rated so they can be mounted outside in harsh environments. There are optional 2x and 4x telephoto, wide and macro lenses, allowing  the cameras to be customised according to the required measurement application. An optional mounting bracket is also available for camera use at workstations.
