Default I need Thermal Image Pics...Please.

I'm going to be taking the Building Science course next month and will be purchasing the B2 infrared camera and I'll then be getting into infrared imaging.

I would like to start my web page for Thermal Imaging and I desperately need pictures I can use for my web site (until I can get my own pictures).

Would anyone out there (who is performing thermal inspections) please be so kind to email me high resolution images of some good defects. I'd like to get images that show the area in question then next to that would be the thermal image. Like this...
need-thermal-image-pics-please-thermal.jpg

Thanks in advance.

I sent you some pics of one that was undetectable until we had a driving wind. Moisture meter backed up IR. Enjoy the Building Science Class. It's worth the money. Pay attention.

David,

Do you have a link for the cost of the camera you posted? Is the vendor giving any deal, with camera puchase, on the classes you want?

Thanks.

Larry,

There are no deals on the infrared cameras. All pricing of these camera's are the same... no matter who you decide to purchase the camera from.

I checked with most of the infrared camera dealers and Flir themselves and they all tell me that the prices are not competitive. Everyone basically has the same price for each model.

I did a resolution comparison between the BCAM-SD and the B2. The B2 cost about a grand more (BCAM is about $7,600.00 and the B2 is about 8,400.00) but the resolution is much better.

See for yourself...

Hi David

Your prices are off.
The BCAM is $5750 the BCAM SD is $6750 this is the Camera that I have. In Canada the BCAM SD lists for $7750 I talked to FLIR CANADA and they matched the US price of $6750 This is the deal that Linas is talking about.
You are correct about the pricing structure. Everyone sells all cameras for the same price but you can get a deal with the courses that are offered. For example the company I purchased my camera gave me $500 toward my Level 1 certification course and a free Nano I-Pod [value ?]
