FLIR Systems Announces APAC Availability of the C2, World’s First Compact Full-Featured Professional Thermal Camera
Compact design and radiometric imagery for fast troubleshooting and powerful reports that electrical &building professionals need
WILSONVILLE, OR – April 1st, 2015 – FLIR Systems, Inc. (NASDAQ: FLIR) announced today the FLIR C2 will be available in the Asia Pacific region through FLIR partners beginning April 1st. The FLIR C2 is the first full-featured, pocket-sized thermal camera designed to help electrical and building professionals see hidden heat patternsthat can reveal sources of energy loss, signs of structural defects, plumbing issues, and sources of overheating electrical connections and more.
With its compact, sleek design, the C2 fits comfortably intoany pocket, making it one of the most convenient thermal cameras on the market. Professionals including builders, roofers, home and insurance inspectors, electricians, and realtors can keep the C2 handy while still carrying other tools and equipment. The C2 has a brilliant, simple-to-use touch screen with auto orientation, and it is built tough in a rugged casing.
The C2 is powered by FLIR’s patented Lepton® micro thermal detector, which captures and displays subtle thermal patterns and small temperature differences using 4,800-pixels of resolution. The C2’s wide angle fixed-focus lens is ideal for viewing and analyzing large areas typically found in building and electrical inspections. Plus, the C2 includes a built-in worklight and flash that helps illuminate poorly-lit areas common in inspection environments.
Featuring FLIR’s patented MSX® real-time image enhancement, the C2 creates thermal images with enhanced clarity and readability. MSX automatically embosses edge detail captured by an onboard visible camera onto the thermal image. Numbers, letters, textures, and other features become recognizable without compromising thethermal image. The extra illumination of the work light also helpsensure that a brighter visible photo is captured along with the C2’s thermal image.
With quick point-and-shoot operation, the C2 stores radiometric thermal and visible JPEG images with the push of a button. The images can later be downloaded with FLIR Tools, free software that allows users to adjust thermal image levels, isolate and add temperature measurements, change color palettes, and create compelling reports.
“The C2 is one of our most exciting new products, and we’re thrilled customers in the APAC region can now experience the power of this pocket-sized thermal imager,” said Rickard Lindvall, Vice President and General Manager of FLIR’s Instruments business segment. “Whether you’re a plumber, electrician, HVAC tech, inspector, roofer, or contractor, the C2 can give you a distinct advantage over your competition.”
