NEC InfReC R300Z IR thermography camera

The InfReC R300Z infrared thermal imager camera from NEC Avio features a high-quality optical zoom lens and is capable of capturing both telephoto and wide-angle fully radiometric infrared images without changing lenses.

It is the only IR thermography camera in its class and within the industry, thanks to its integrated 10-40 mm zoom lens, claims Applied Infrared Sensing (AIS), and, together with 16x magnification, can isolate and record target objects at great distances while allowing effortless, wide-angle scene capturing.

Incorporating a Japan-made NEC detector with the latest technology, the camera achieves a spatial resolution (IFOV) of up to 0.59 mrad, temperature resolution (NETD) of 0.06°C (at 30°C) and accuracy within ±2°C.

The ongoing technology improvements have resulted in a 30% reduction of total camera weight, compared to the former Model TVS-500EXZ that offered a similar lens capability.

The viewfinder is a useful feature for in-the-field use, when strong sunlight reduces the visibility of the LCD screen, and a built-in LED light and laser pointer help identify problematic areas even in dark environments.

Also available is onboard thermal movie recording, direct to SD card, in a fully Radiometric format (10 fps). R300Z is delivered with InfReC Analyzer NS9500PRO software that supports real-time recording at 60 fps via USB port, camera control, detailed post-analysis and report creation.

The camera is suitable for predictive and preventive maintenance applications, monitoring and recording thermal profiles of power distribution networks and building/civil engineering structures.
