FLIR T460 Thermal Imaging Camera

This product has now been discontinued. The nearest current equivalent is the FLIR T530 Thermal Imaging Camera.

Sitting atop FLIR's range of T400 series thermal imaging cameras is the FLIR T460 Thermal Camera. Suitable for almost all predictive maintenance and surveying applications (M&E, Industrial, Building and Renewables) the impressive specifications of the FLIR T460 makes this a truly versatile thermal imaging camera. The T460 captures highly detailed thermal images using its 320x240 thermal resolution and provides incredibly accurate temperature data with an accuracy of +/- 1% or 1°C.

The FLIR T460 continues to use FLIR innovation by incorporating MSX® Technology which underlays the digital image underneath the thermal image and thus providing visual detail and definition to the thermal image (see video for more information). The T460 also uses FLIR UltraMax™ which is a unique processing technique that allows report generation with images that have four times as many pixels and 50% less noise. Basically, your thermal images are digitally up-scaled enabling you to measure smaller targets more accurately or simply just providing further thermal clarity and noise reduction.

If you require video recording facilities then the T460 is the ideal choice with a unique feature allowing Radiometric video recording (CSQ) to memory card. This allows temperature data to be added post-transfer onto video files using FLIR Tools Plus software.

  Meterlink®
Transmits FLIR Test and Measurement data onto the camera via Bluetooth. This further validates your thermal image by adding additional quantified information.
 
  Additional Lenses Available
Interchangeable telephoto, wide angle, and close-up optics.
 
  Laser Pointer and LED Light Inbuilt
Identify your view finder location using the inbuilt laser pointer and illuminate dimly lit areas using the bright inbuilt LED lights.
