FLIR i3 Infrared Camera
Compact Thermal Camera for Building Diagnostics & Predictive MaintenanceThe FLIR i3, the most affordable point-and-shoot infrared camera, just got better. Featuring a highly affordable and lightweight entry-level fixed-focus 60x60 infrared detector, the FLIR i3 measures 3,600 temperature points and displays it on a crisp 2.8" LCD monitor. With a 0.15° thermal sensitivity, 2% or 2deg; accuracy and 12.5 degree infrared field-of-view, it's perfect for short-range measurement of medium sized objects where the operator needs to see substantially different temperatures between objects or areas.
More durable housing that can withstand a 2 meter (6.6 feet) drop test!
When compared to the previous generation, the new FLIR i3 offers greater durability and performance for the same price and puts high-quality, cost-effective thermal imaging in the hands of those who need it most. Now energy auditors, building inspectors, electrical contractors, predictive maintenance specialists, HVAC professionals, insulation experts, restoration contractors, and many more can have fast, accurate, easy-to-use thermal imaging every day.
Whether you're just getting into thermal imaging, or are so convinced of its effectiveness that you want to outfit everyone on your crew with an infrared camera, the new FLIR i-Series is the answer and at the lowest price point in the family, the FLIR i3 is a great place to start.
The new FLIR i3 infrared thermal imaging camera offers:
- Excellent Screen Size and Quality - High-resolution color 2.8" LCD display helps you find problems fast.
- Accurate Results - FLIR?s outstanding thermal accuracy (+/-2%) and broad measurement range (-20°C to 250°C / -4°F to 482°F) give you results you can count on
- Rugged, Compact Design - Easy to use, one-handed operation with a focus-free lens; tough enough to withstand a two meter drop and stow with the rest of your tools
- Fully Radiometric Images - Store up to 5,000 JPEG image files with all your temperature measurements right in the camera for future analysis, downloads, and custom reports.
- Plenty of Extras - Includes PC reporting software, plenty of memory with a 2 GB microSD card, and comes complete with a hard carrying case.
- Unmatched Warranty - FLIR's exclusive Double Diamond 2-5-10 warranty covers the whole camera for 2 years, the battery for 5 years, and the detector for 10 full years. No one but FLIR can offer peace of mind like this because no one but FLIR builds their own detectors.

FLIR iSeries Comparison
Image Resolution Comparison:Maybe you’re simply looking to replace your old IR thermometer with a serious thermal imaging tool that can show you so much more and collect reliable temperature data. Or perhaps you need a thermal camera that meets RESNET resolution standards and gives you a wider view for scanning larger areas in finer detail. Whatever your inspections call for, FLIR i-Series offers a very practical solution.
