Default RAZ-IR Thermal Camera

Hi all,

I just got the RAZ-IR camera and I have my first Audit tommorow.

I will post some sample images.

This thing is neat! I hope my choice not to go with Fluke and Flir was a good one

Bryan - I have had the RAZ-IR for two years. It is a great device and paid for itself in a couple of months. Of course, my marketing helped a bit too...

It has a good image quality from what I can see. Whats with the windows frame on the images. Can that be removed?

yes, still trying to figure out their software, but the frame can be adjusted. i had some issues loading the drivers but they walked me through it.

the report wizard is very easy and quick. a professional word or pdf report can be generated in about 1 minute. the voice annotaions are also included in the file as a .wav attachment.

Jay, do you have any suggestions for marketing?

thanks!
(also, how do i become a "nachi certified inspector? what are the steps?)

Bryan,

The pix you posted is the same one that is on Vipers website(http://vipertechonline.stores.yahoo....mithsokit.html). Are you affiliated with viper or did you post the wrong photo

Here are a few thermagrams from today's inspection (and I didn't swipe them from Flir's website ) Flir BX 320 is the camera I am using.

By the way, these images were captured with a Delta T of less than 14 (estimated at 10-12). The better cameras can get decent images in environements that are not optimum. Most cameras can get a good image if you take the time to manipulate the indoor temperature to improve your delta T. Just some thoughts as we make comments on camera quality and image output quality.

Steve how do you like the BX-320 I am using the same camera kind of hard to see the screen outside with no reflector screen cover and the battery's are short lived between charges but otherwise working great for me.
