What do the current owners think about these two cams. PRO's & CON's? I have read alot about both, and would just like to have some final input before I spend the $$$.
Keep in mind, PRO-LAB has the BCAM SD for $4699, and inspector essentials has the TiR for $4495, so price isn't the issue. Thanks for everyones input, thoughts, 2 cents, and votes, in advance. I feel like I get my iNachi's moneys worth just having access to the members on this board!!! |

Hi David,
I got to play with my TiR, finally. I really like it. The ir picture within the pic is great, 2 year warranty, very east to use. The pics can be saved as .bmp files or radiomatric files on SD card- between 1200-3000 images. Also, got mine for 3995.00. Hope this helps, Jamie |

Jaime, when did you order yours from Hi-Essentials? I ordered mine 4 weeks ago and Nick has yet to come through with it.

Jamie,
How about posting some pics? You can argue with intelligent people but to argue with a mush head is like trying to grab fog-Thomas Sowell |

Low battery life 3 vs 7 hrs. would be my concern.
I get about 3 inspections out of my battery between charges. That is over 9 hours of use. Never push the battery beyond the warning indicator. |

A little about batteries
It is not so much about the battery it is about the charger. If not done right it is going to cost money Simple with auto shutoff and slow is better rlb |

I purchased a BCAM SD in April of 2007 and have been very happy. Great battery life. I particulairly like the temperature alarm and dewpoint alarm settings, great for performing moisture intrusion inspections and forensic investigations.
I would have liked a bit more resolution on the BCAM SD, if there is not a great deal of temperature difference the pictures are not the greatest quality. I'm sure this will come with future models, and probably at a better price as I see the BCAM SD is coming down in price right now. Here is a picture from an inspection last week. Shows the wall between the house and attached garage. |

Brian.. If you want to play with a real one for a few days, give me a call and you can play with my Flir for a couple days. After watching the link, I think you will agree it would be in your best interest to buy a real one prior to using it out in the field |
