Frequently Asked Questions
How to choose proper infrared detector resolution?
It depends on the actual needs and applications of your products, and price is also a factor that needs to be considered. If image quality is not critical, you can choose infrared detectors with lower resolution such as 120x90, 256x192, or 400x300. If you need very clear images for special purposes like remote monitoring, you can choose high-resolution infrared detectors of 1280x1024.
How to select right pseudo color for thermal imaging?
- Gray white is more suitable for targets with small temperature differences
- Red and blue is more suitable for scenes where problem points need to be found
- Iron red is the standard color palette of the power industry
Note: Regardless of which palette you choose, the thermal temperature measurements will not change.
How to choose a suitable infrared thermal camera lens?
- Standard lens can meet normal targets with appropriate distance
- Telephoto lens is suitable for relatively small targets that need to be viewed from long distances
- Wide angle lens is better for seeing more detail of objects at close distances
- Macro lens is for viewing very tiny targets at close distances, such as chip circuits
