FLIR ONE

It is the 50% of the defects you cannot see that makes it a poor choice for home inspectors and if the client thinks your thermal imaging was done with a quality camera, then they were deceived.

Yes… the cheapest IR camera made can see the obvious anomalies. It is all the things the cheapo camera cannot see that makes it a liability. Many defects are very subtle and require at least a FLIR e6 to see them. (even then it can be hard).

I am not bashing you. Just sayin.

Below are some images that demonstrate how, in some environments, a whole set of steps can disappear and your camera cannot see it. How much more can a small moisture spot disappear in some cases (one example).

We as inspectors, need a dependable IR camera that will work at a level that is reliable in finding hard to see defects. I am promoting an idea based on 9 years of thermography and has been confirmed by several schools that teach infrared.

You still have not answered my question?
