DIAS Infrared GmbH (Dresden) has introduced a new camera to their exiting portfolio of infrared instruments. The MobIR® M8 is a portable infrared thermal imaging camera and aimed at entry level users as well as at professional users of infrared measurement. Typical applications include building Thermographic work, electrical checks and maintenance inspections of mechanical equipment where non-contact temperature measurement can be beneficial to maintenance programs and survey work.
The MobIR® M8 is a fully portable camera, weighing only 350 g. The camera is not only small and handy, but has a variety of innovative features including infrared video recording up to 30 minutes, the ability to add audio and text comments to an image and a built-in laser for target identification.
The MobIR® M8 works using an uncooled Microbolometer array with 160 x 120 pixels and has a measuring range from -20 °C to 250 °C, which can be optionally extended to 350 °C. The thermal images and visual images are stored either in the camera's internal memory or on a mini SD card.
The camera can be configured for various applications using the built-in functions and the Thermographer can add moveable measurement points to the image and set temperature alarms and isotherms. A full collection of PYROSOFT software packages are available for different levels of sophistication to aid processing of the thermal images. The Compact version is designed for off-line editing, measurement and easy report writing while the Professional version has enhanced features with real-time capture, video replay, alarming, trends, profiling and many more useful tools.
