New Fluke infrared cameras with LaserSharp™ Auto Focus deliver in-focus images for the best imaging accuracy
Advanced wireless connectivity and the new SmartView^® Mobile app maximizes productivity in the field

Fluke Corporation introduces the Fluke^® Ti200, Ti300 and Ti400 infrared cameras with advanced connectivity and accuracy to maximize technicians’ productivity in the field. The new infrared cameras feature LaserSharp Auto Focus, which uses a laser to pinpoint exactly where the camera should focus for precisely focused images every time.

The rugged Fluke Ti200, Ti300 and Ti400 connect to the Fluke CNX™ Wireless system, allowing them to be used as a main unit to view live measurements of up to five wireless modules (e.g. AC current or voltage modules) on its screen and integrate the data into the infrared image. (Coming soon via firmware update. Users notified via SmartView software when available.)

“The infrared cameras feature wireless connectivity to easily transfer images from the cameras directly to PCs, an iPad or iPhone which can then be imported into Fluke SmartView^® software, a professional suite of analysis and reporting tools for optimizing and analyzing infrared images and producing professional reports.”
Says : Rajesh Tawani, Product Manager, Fluke India

New SmartView^® Mobile App
The cameras also integrate wirelessly with the new Fluke SmartView Mobile app for iPhone and iPad. Like the desktop version, the SmartView Mobile app allows users to transfer images wirelessly for additional image optimization and analysis and to create professional reports, but now they can share information without returning to the office to create and send reports to clients or management. With the SmartView Mobile app, users can get approval for additional work needed or next steps immediately, increasing efficiency and profitability. And unlike many other apps, SmartView Mobile is optimized for both the iPhone and iPad, maximizing the productivity no matter which device is used.

Only Fluke infrared cameras feature patented IR-Fusion^® technology, which merges the infrared and visual images into a single view to better discover, diagnose, and communicate problems. With IR-Fusion technology, images can be viewed from full infrared to blended views to a full visible image, to precisely document problem areas.

The infrared cameras are Bluetooth-ready and include wireless connectivity to PCs, GPS positioning and recording, streaming video, ruggedized capacitive touch screen for quick menu navigation, IR-PhotoNotes™ Photo Annotation System, field-changeable rechargeable smart batteries with charge level indicators, and high temperature measurements up 1200 degrees Celsius (Ti400 model only).

Availability
The Fluke Ti200, Ti300, and Ti400 infrared cameras are available now. Some features mentioned may be available at a later time as free upgrades.
