TOPDON USA has released two new thermal image cameras, the TC004 and TC005. These cameras now feature larger 3.5" screens which are designed to offer enhanced image clarity and visualization of smaller targets, especially in dark or low-light conditions. 

With the larger screen and 2 MP visible camera, the TC005 offers added context and accuracy for professional inspections, supported by a 40-degree by 30-degree Field of View (FOV) and a 2.79 mrad Instantaneous Field of View (IFOV). It features 256x192 IR resolution and TISR-supported image processing that offers enhanced clarity and detail up to 512x384. The TC005's integrated visible-light camera and built-in laser offer accurate distance measurements up to 4m, and it comes with a protective hard carrying case for reliable and convenient field use. 

The TC004 is designed to make inspections simple and streamline workflow. It offers a 56-degree by 42-degree FOV and 3.75 mrad IFOV, as well as a built-in laser pointer to help the measurement area stand out in real space. Resolution is TISR-boosted from 256x192 to 512x384, providing the clarity needed to measure accurately. 

Both cameras feature wireless connectivity through built-in Wi-Fi for fast data transfer and compatibility with the TopInfrared mobile app and cable-based connectivity with TopView PC software for analysis and reporting. They are housed in a 2m drop-tested IP54-rated case and offer up to 8.5 hours of operation with a 2-hour recharge time. 

A word from TOPDON

“Our TC005 and TC004 thermal cameras have become some of our most popular tools since their introduction in 2023,” said Chad Schnitz, Vice President of TOPDON USA. “As a technology-focused company, our mission is to improve each new product generation. The TC005 and TC004 are often used in dark and low-light environments, so we upgraded to larger screens that not only offer higher resolution but also clearer visibility of targets in hard-to-reach locations. We made these upgrades without increasing these tools’ price points, ensuring we meet the technical and budget needs of our customers.” 

“The TC005 and TC004 are must-have tools for virtually every type of low-light inspection when thermal imaging is critical to the success of the project,” said Schnitz. “TOPDON remains committed to ensuring our thermal imagers continue to offer the ultimate functionality at a price point that doesn’t break the bank.”
