Flir B-50/60

[David C. Macy]

Thanks Mike

[Dan Bowers, CMI]

I though I read in the specs the Fluke TiR2 was a 160 x 120 ????

Jason Kaylor;460830]Not to confuse you even more David, but the TiR2 has a lower thermal sensitivity and a lot higher resolution at 320x240 than the b200 (200x150).

Jason,

Now you confused me bro!

The TiR2 has about the same NETD (Noise Equivalent Temperature Difference) [i.e. the ability to measure small temperature differences, also known as sensitivity]as the B200 but not a higher resolution, unless my math is wrong!

Fluke TiR2 160x120=19,200 Pixels
Flir B200 200x150=30,000 Pixels

For HI's it really comes down to thermal sensitivity and training.

Agreed, but not 100% I would still like to have both, higher resolution and higher sensitivity.
Agree with the training part 100%

It's an expensive purchase and I know a tough one to finally decide.

Agreed 100%. My advice, buy the best camera you can afford....now not later or you will find yourself upgrading within 1 year.

www.fluketir1.com is a site we put up for just the TiR1. It has about as complete of resources for the TiR1 as you can find.

The only thing we are missing on there is the new 2.0 software video that just came out. It gives a very good demonstration. I saw it the other day now I cannot find it. If I find it today I will post it up here.

You're right sorry. I have actually never sold the TiR2. We sell a lot of TiR4s. When I posted that message I took a quick glance at the PDF for the TiR2, 3, and 4 and it says 320x240 in the main line of the PDF. In the specs it says 160x120. The 3 and 4 are 320x240.

2x zoom on the TiR2 and 3. 2x,4x,8x on the TiR 4.

The TiR3 is $12,335.00 until Dec 31st. I would think that Fluke will extend the huge discounts they have in place for the TiR2+ and Ti45+ units, but you never know.

Good post Mario.
This is what I've been saying for quite some time to seemingly deaf ears.

You'll find very few vendors mention anything about NETD or MRTD and seems even fewer understand its importance in regards to residential and commercial applications.

Your last sentence needs repeated again and again and again.

William,

If I knew what I know today when I purchased my BCAM-SD I wouldn't have the need to purchase a new camera now.

BTW I purchased the B360, It's an awesome camera.
