| Overview |  |
||
The Flir T-360 is a battery powered, featured-packed and highly affordable infrared camera, which weighs less than 900 grams. This compact and robust thermal imager boasts a number of new and innovative additions (e.g. a touch screen display, for quick and easy operation) and many evolutionary design upgrades (such as the tiltable lens unit, for surveying in tight spaces).Similar to some of our other cameras, the Flir T-360 offers exceptional image quality thanks to a 320 x 240 infrared image resolution, which records temperature information for almost 80,000 pixels on the 3.5" LCD display. The images we take are then saved onto a removable SD card as radiometric JPEG files, and we can store up to 1,000 images at any time. We can also save visual images simultaneously, using the brand-new, built-in 1.3 megapixel digital camera. Using the supplied PC software, which is known as ThermaCAM QuickReport, we can download these digital and infrared images from the camera, analyse them further and report our findings. Additional software called ThermaCAM Reporter 8 is also available separately, and integrates directly into Microsoft Word to provide full flexibility over the design and content of our reports. While the camera's form factor has been radically redesigned (see the picture above) to help ensure it is comfortable to use during long inspections, the Flir T-360 maintains the company's high standards of build quality and durability. For example, this model is both dust and water splash proof, as well as shock resistant, which enables us to take the camera almost anywhere on-site and use it in practically any field conditions. |

| Features of the Flir T-360 | |
 |
An automatic focus and zoom feature allows the operator to easily and quickly adjust, measure and capture their infrared images. |  |
The camera's battery offers four hours of uninterrupted operation, and spare batteries can be quickly swapped over in the field. |
 |
The Flir T-360 features a 320 x 240 infrared image resolution, which is suitable for any application and offers excellent image quality. |  |
This camera is supplied as standard with a 25° lens, but optional telescopic and wide-angle lenses are also available (see below). |
 |
Measure temperatures from -20°C to 120°C or 0°C to 350°C, with an optional upgrade also available to extend this to a maximum of 1200°C. |  |
Add multiple measurement spots and area boxes to your images, use a colour alarm, change the colour palette and much more. |
 |
Thermal fusion technology blends digital and infrared images to better identify problem areas (available on the camera or in the software). |  |
Thanks to the tiltable lens unit (with 120° of movement), the Flir T-360 can be used in tight spaces and still achieve the desired results. |
 |
The large, 3.5" LCD touch screen (a stylus is also included) makes it easy to navigate through the menus and learn how to use the camera. |  |
An integrated digital camera (with a 1.3 megapixel resolution) makes fault-finding faster and compliments your inspection reports. |

| A closer look at the camera | |

|
From the beginning, the Flir T-360 was developed with industrial applications in mind, and there is a similar model available for use in the building industry, which is called the Flir B-360. Both cameras have taken inspiration from some of the digital cameras available on the market, and feature an ergonomic design that is both easy to use and comfortable to hold. Thanks in part to many years of feedback from customers all over the world, Flir targeted image quality, performance and usability as three key areas of focus. Some examples of this include...
Another brand-new inclusion with the Flir T-360 is thermal fusion technology. This feature, which can be used either on the camera or in the software, allows for easier identification and interpretation of infrared images. At the push of a button, we can overlay any part of an infrared image over the corresponding digital image, instantly combining the benefits of both. Best of all, the result can be easily configured to suit any application (such as building surveys, or electrical and mechanical inspections) with little effort. 
Of course, as with so many of our cameras, we can also access a number of other functions to speed up our inspections. For example, we can change the colour palette or use a colour alarm to identify possible problems at a glance. We might, perhaps, take an image of three fuses and add a measurement spot on each fuse to compare the temperatures there and then in the field.The Flir T-360 also includes many features that have become almost synonymous with Flir infrared cameras. These include interchangeable lenses, a laser pointer, video output, automatic shutdown and sleep modes (to conserve battery life) and USB file transfer (to download images quickly, and without the need for any software). As part of the kit, we also include a complimentary One-day Thermography Course, which serves as an ideal introduction to the basic principles of infrared, your camera and the ThermaCAM QuickReport software. |

| Optional lenses | |
|
This camera is supplied with a Standard lens. However, optional lenses are also available and can be ordered in place of, or in addition to, this regular lens. When the target in question is some distance away, it may prove useful to use a Telescopic lens. This Telescopic lens is a popular lens accessory, as it provides two times the magnification when compared to that of the Standard lens. This makes the lens ideal for small or distance targets, such as overhead power lines. The Wide-angle lens has a Field Of View (FOV) almost double that of the Standard lens included with the camera. This makes the Wide-angle lens perfect for wide or tall targets, such as electrical panels, roofs and paper machinery - especially when there just isn't enough room to step back and get a complete sight of the target. For many applications, the Wide-angle lens can prove to be invaluable. With a Standard lens, some camera operators may take several images of the target, and attempt to piece these together with specialist software. This can be cumbersome and time-consuming, and the end result may not be ideal. |

You may also be interested in our range of Thermographic Inspection Windows (or "sightglasses", as they are sometimes known). These allow infrared energy to pass through, permitting infrared inspections to be carried out effectively and safely - without the need to defeat safety systems or open panel covers. We can also provide On-site thermography training that covers an introduction to infrared, predictive maintenance, camera operation, use of software and report writing. This training will familiarise operators with their infrared camera, and we also show how thermography can be complimented by other technologies – most notably, ultrasound. |
