  • How to Use a Thermal Camera to Find the Best Basking Lamp Distance & Water Temperature for Red-Eared Sliders And Other Turtles and Terrapins

    Use a thermal camera to find the best basking lamp distance & water temperature for red-eared sliders, turtles, tortoises, and reptiles—no more guesswork!

  • Application Note: Ensuring Safety and Preventing Fire with FLIR Thermal Monitoring for Battery Energy Storage Systems

    Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS) are essential for storing renewable energy and ensuring grid stability. However, their implementation comes with inherent risks, particularly related to lithium-ion battery fires. Traditional detection methods such as flame detectors often fail in the early stages of a BESS fire due to their reliance on visible flames or smoke, which might not be immediately present. Where flame detectors fall short, thermal imaging cameras can significantly improve protection and prevent fires before they ever reach combustion.

  • FLIR Unveils ADGiLE™ to Detect and Locate Methane Leaks with Robust Continuous Monitoring and Advanced Analytics

    FLIR, part of Teledyne Technologies Incorporated, today unveiled ADGiLE, a fixed-mounted methane monitoring solution. Featuring optical gas imaging (OGI) with comprehensive edge detection analytics, ADGiLE is the oil and gas industry’s solution to meeting environmental stewardship and efficiency goals. The system, featuring a pan-tilt gas imaging camera, edge computing device, connectivity, and FLIR United VMS software within a ruggedized package, can help companies address the ever-evolving requirements for reducing methane gas leaks within oil and gas production, transmission, and storage infrastructure.

  • FLIR Introduces Next Generation X-Series Infrared Cameras for the Most Demanding Indoor Lab and Open-Air Test Range Scenarios

    FLIR, a Teledyne Technologies company, today announced four new additions to its family of X-series science-grade thermal cameras for research and development (R&D) for both the mid-wave infrared (MWIR) and longwave infrared (LWIR) spectrums: the X6980-HS high-speed family and the X8580-HS high-resolution family. 

  • The Benefits of Thermal Scans for Businesses and Large Real-Estate

    Infrared Imaging Solutions, better known as IRIS, is an inspection firm based in Canada that operates coast to coast across North America. The firm has a team of eight thermographers, all certified as Level II or Level III thermographers by the Infrared Training Center, who are equipped with FLIR T1020s, FLIR T865s, and various other FLIR thermal imaging cameras to perform inspections. Brian Jastrow, the company’s principal owner, shared with us some of the benefits of regular thermal inspections that he’s noticed from the seventeen thousand inspections his company has performed in over twenty years in operation.

  • Preventing large-scale energy loss: why manufacturing plants can’t afford to overlook early air leak detection

    As much as 30% of the energy used in compressed air systems is lost to air leaks. That's a staggering amount of energy to lose - and the cost of operating inefficient machinery only adds to this. In a climate of climbing costs, peaking inflation, labour shortages and uncertainty in many international supply chains, how can businesses overlook such a major expenditure?

  • 5 ways you can use your new FLIR ONE® Edge Pro around the house

    The FLIR ONE Edge Pro recently launched and it comes with a brand new, detachable camera that allows you to get the best angle on your target. We've come up with a few uses that can come in handy for your household needs!

  • FLIR and WWF Join in Search for the Masked Bandits of the Prairie

    Teledyne FLIR has once again partnered with the World Wildlife Fund (WWF) in its mission to protecting wildlife and restoring struggling habitats. The organizations met in central Montana at the Fort Belknap Reservation to track black-footed ferrets, one of North America’s most endangered mammals.

  • Low-Cost FLIR ONE® Key to Student’s New Anti-Poaching Solution

    Thousands of endangered animals are illegally hunted every year in Africa, with rangers often getting caught in the crossfire trying to protect them. Current prevention methods include rangers stationed acting as guards or monitoring camera feeds; unfortunately, this can be prone to human error and can be tedious for those standing watch. Some parks rely on advanced thermal security cameras provided through a joint-project by the World Wildlife Fund and Teledyne FLIR. For others, a low-cost thermal solution could have a large impact on rangers’ ability to stop poachers. It’s a problem Anika Puri, a 17-year-old from Chappaqua, New York, hopes to address with FLIR ONE camera and an artificial intelligence (AI) solution she developed.

  • The FLIR 80° IR Lens Create Immediate Savings for Indoor Electric Inspections

    Teledyne FLIR recently released a new 80° lens to give inspectors a wider field of view (FOV) and enable easier indoor inspections. One of the most common issues when conducting indoor inspections is operating in confined spaces and difficulty in capturing an entire target in a single shot. The enhanced viewing angle is especially useful for closed cabinets that contain critical or high-powered electric systems.

  • Using Advanced Technologies to Understand Methane Emissions in the Biogas Industry

    In communities across the globe, daily life creates waste that can be challenging to manage, including agriculture byproducts, livestock manure, and even leftover or discarded food all generate organic waste that produce methane during decomposition. Left alone, this decomposing matter poses an environmental risk. But when managed properly, waste can be transformed into biogas—a form of renewable energy. Enter optical gas imaging (OGI) technology: specialized infrared cameras that are filtered to match the wavelength of specific gases such as methane.

  • See Smaller VOC Leaks From a Safer Distance

    FLIR optical gas imaging cameras allow smaller Volatile Organic Compound (VOC) leaks to be detected from a safe, non-hazardous area. The most important criteria to achieve this are the camera’s detector and sensitivity.
