FLIR's professional infrared thermal imaging cameras have featured the company's latest in innovation, ergonomics and quality. These three pints are deeply rooted in the design and functionality of their professional thermal camera lineup which the letter T as the model name. To make things clear on why this is the case we are going to explain the features and capabilities of the T600, T620, T640 and T660 infrared cameras. Let's check them out and see what each one of them can offer you.
FLIR T600
The first in line of FLIR's T-series infrared thermal cameras has a resolution of 480x360 and a thermal sensitivity of 0.04° (40mK) which can cover temperatures ranging from -40°C to 650°C. Like most FLIR infrared cameras the T600 comes with MeterLink connectivity so it can communicate with other FLIR test equipment and stream the footage live on any smartphone using the app. This device also comes with Wi-Fi and Bluetooth connectivity as well as an SD card slot.
It has a 4.3 inch LCD touch display, which allows you to sketch, use predefines stamps and add annotations using your finger. This infrared cameras also has an LED flash, a laser pointer and a 120° lens with 4x digital zoom and both automatic and manual focus. A game-changing feature called MSX (Multi-spectral Dynamic) imaging makes this device capable of recognising objects, shapes, edges and text by adding some light to the image. There's also FLIR's own PC software that allows you to generate extensive reports.
FLIR T620
The T620 has the same screen resolution as the T600 and the same 120° range of motion but it comes with a dual-camera setup with a total of 10 megapixels (5 each) which gives a very sharp and clear image. This device also comes with the MeterLink feature as well as the Wi-fi connectivity first seen in FLIR's E series. IT is capable of producing MPEG-4 videos and it comes with a larger 5.6-inch touchscreen display that can fold. The camera system is also capable of both automatic and manual zoom with the standard 4x digital zoom, laser pointer and LED flash. The T620 can combine both the infrared and visual image together for a better analysis.
There's also a movable & resizable PiP (Picture-in-Picture) mode which basically shows you both the infrared and visual image together with all the thermal data in order to make it easier for the user to spot any temperature development. The device is capable of creating a radiometric JPEG image format which is a better option when you want to do some report writing with it or use it for post-processing with Microsoft Word® based FLIR software. The flexible interface on this model allows for easy access to a composite video connection, USB port and a direct connection for battery charging.
FLIR T640
The FLIR T640 may not be a big jump in features but it is an upgrade worth considering since it has some nifty improvements in durability and range. This device's IR camera module is the same as the one found on the T620 but it comes with 8x digital zoom and a dual-LED flash which makes for crispier and more detailed images. All the previous features including the PiP mode, Radiometric JPEG format, Thermal Fusion and the MeterLink all present here as well as an added Viewfinder feature. The high resolution of the viewfinder makes the device easier to use in outdoor conditions.
Sketch, text and voice annotations are also included as well as the MPEG-4 video capability. The 30mk (<0.03°C) temperature sensitivity of this device is a big improvement from the other two which makes this device capable of measuring temperatures as low as -40°C and as high as 2000°C. The tiltable IR unit and flexible interfaces allow for faster thermal inspection and more convenient charging and video streaming.
FLIR T660
These combined results make the final image 50% sharper and clearer which is better than what you are able to do with a single shot. Wi-fi and Bluetooth capabilities are also here as well as live video streaming and MeterLink functionality. MSX image enhancing is a part of this device's features together with the radiometric video recording and continuous/ one-shot/ manual focus. The x8 digital zoom is kept as well as the 120° rotating lens block whilst having an added GPS and a compass. SD card slot, Instant Report and the annotation features from the previous models are also included with the ability to communicate with FLIR's own smartphone apps.
