Dahua Technology, a video-centric smart IoT solution and service provider, launched its Thermal Handheld Thermography Camera (DH-TPC-HI20) — a portable diagnostic instrument for daily inspections in the industrial field. Its lightweight design, powerful visualisation capabilities, real-time alarm, and other ease-of-use features make it a reliable tool for early failure prediction and preventative maintenance in small industrial scenarios.
The Dahua HI20 product adopts thermal imaging technology to detect potential issues in numerous preventative maintenance tasks through non-contact temperature measurement. Compared to a Single-point infrared thermometer, the HI20 presents real-time, crisp images and informative details for quick inspection, allowing users to analyse, identify and diagnose potential problems more quickly and efficiently.
High-resolution crisp images and informative details for quick inspection
With a high resolution of 256 x 192 effective pixels and F1.0 large aperture, the HI20 delivers wide-angle crisp and clear images. It supports a 256GB Micro SD Card that provides up to 10,000 images and over 2 hours of video per gigabyte. Moreover, it also offers PC connectivity to view, manage, and share images and videos.
Laser pointer detection and troubleshooting
In addition to producing a thermographic image, the HI20 includes a laser pointer that allows users to detect the temperature of specific areas, reducing temperature reading deviations to increase accuracy and save time.
Quick snapshot and recording
Furthermore, the HI20 offers a multi-functional trigger that allows users to pinpoint areas with its built-in laser pointer, capture screenshots and record videos. Squeeze the trigger once to activate the laser pointer, pull two times to capture a screenshot and pull three times to record a video.
Ideal for rugged environments
Thanks to its rugged design, the HI20 can withstand a 2-meter drop. With an IP54 rating, it can operate under harsh environments from -20 °C to +50 °C (-4 °F to +122 °F), making it ideal for various scenarios and applications within the industrial field.
Audible real-time alarm of anomalies
For sudden temperature rises that could lead to equipment failure or a possible fire hazard, the HI20 provides a customisable maximum-temperature prompt. It can trigger an audible alarm and automatic screenshot when that temperature threshold is detected—instead of staring at a screen for a long time and potentially missing out on an important detail.
