FLIR Systems has announced the FLIR T860,
its latest addition to the high-performance
T-Series family.
This new thermal camera is the first to feature
onboard Inspection Route software, ideal for
streamlining inspections of critical assets,
including power substation components,
distribution lines, manufacturing equipment,
or facility electrical and mechanical systems.
By running a pre-planned route through the
camera, thermal inspectors can spend less
time in the field and face less hassle when
creating survey reports.
Featuring the FLIR T-series camera platform’s
award-winning design, the T860 has an
ergonomic body, a vibrant LCD touchscreen
visible from low angles, and an integrated
color viewfinder for sun glare conditions.
The 640×480-resolution thermal camera
incorporates FLIR’s advanced Vision
Processing™, including patented MSX® and
UltraMax® image enhancement technologies
to provide enhanced image clarity with half
the image noise of previous models. Pairing
the T860 with an optional 6-degree telephoto
thermal lens allows users to inspect energized

targets from a safe distance or measure small
targets with greater precision.
This thermal camera includes advanced
measurement tools such as one-touch level/
span and laser-assisted autofocus, which
helps users quickly find problems and
make critical decisions. It also features an
onboard routing system that works with the
FLIR Thermal Studio advanced reporting
software to create numbered, labeled
inspection routes that users can create
from the camera. This system allows users
to record temperature data, thermal, and
visual imagery in a logical sequence for faster
troubleshooting and repair.
A key feature of the T-Series product line is
its ergonomic design, which reduces the
strain of full-day inspections. A 180-degree
rotating lens platform helps users diagnose
hard-to-reach components at substations
and on distribution lines. The T-Series also
offers tools to optimize workflows, including
Wi-Fi streaming to the FLIR Tools® mobile app
for Android and iOS, in-camera GPS tagging,
voice annotations, and customizable work
folders.
The T860 camera includes the new
subscription-based software, FLIR Thermal
Studio Pro.
This professional-level program provides
access to all the time saving features and
benefits of FLIR Thermal Studio Pro as well as
free software upgrades.
The FLIR T860 camera is now available
for purchase through established FLIR
distribution partners. For more information
