When customers do a serious comparison between the Testo 875-1i Infrared Camera and it’s rivals they always choose the Testo 875-1i. The testo 875-1i Infrared camera has many technical advantages before one even holds the Infrared camera in their hands for a close up evaluation. When the specification of the Flir i5 & i7 ( AKA Extech i5 & i7) Infrared cameras are compared to the Testo 875, the Flir i Series simply comes up short.

Image Resolution: All Testo 875 Infrared Cameras utilize a 160 x 120 Thermal Detector. This is compared to a 80 x 80 for the Flir i5 (Extech i5) and 120 x 120 for the Flir i7 (Extech i7). This gives the Testo 875 infrared cameras a 3:1 advantage over the Flir i5 and nearly a 2:1 advantage over the Flir i5 and i7 infrared cameras when comparing resolution.

Operation Time: All Testo infrared cameras come with robust Li-ion rechargeable batteries with 5 hours operation time. Importantly, the Testo 875 thermal camera battery can be removed and recharged either in the infrared camera or in an optional external charger. The Flir i series and Extech i series infrared cameras only have an operation time of 4 hours when fully charged. The Flir or Extech i5 and i7 battery is not removable and therefore not replaceable. The only possible way to charge the Flir or Extech Infrared cameras is to plug the camera into the wall.

Focus: All Testo infrared cameras come with the ability to manually focus the camera. All thermographers understand that the most important function is to simply focus the camera to produce a sharp image at any distance. Unfortunately, the Flir and Extech i5 and i7 have a fixed focus. This means that the person holding the infrared camera needs to physically move forward or back and hold the camera steady to obtain a usable image. Sometime it is simply not possible to move closer or further away and therefore not always possible to achieve a clear image with either the Flir or Extech i5 and i7.

Reporting Software: All Testo 875 Infrared Cameras come with advanced reporting software that allows thermographers to produce professional report for their customers. Testo’s advanced infrared reporting software allows users to change the palette, emissivity, background temperature, Add multiple reporting tools and isotherms. This is a far superior reporting generation package than that offered by Flir or Extech.

Outstanding Ease of Use: The Testo 875 Infrared Cameras are all designed for both entry level and experienced thermographers. The simple menu of the Testo 875 is easy to understand and navigate through all features. Taking and image could not be easier - Just one press of a button. The Testo 875 is preferred by virtually everyone that has the chance to experience both the Testo 875 and the Flir i5/i7 (Extech i5/i7).

Advanced Inspection Technologies (AIT) was contacted at 10:00 PM on a Friday night and asked if it was possible to have an industrial pipe inspection camera sent to the Crystal River Nuclear Power Plant as soon as possible. AIT always places the customer first and understands the urgent needs of the industrial customers we cater to. It has happened in the past and it will continue to happen. Industrial plants will be in a planned or unplanned outage and need to inspect a critical system before returning the plant to operation. Frantic calls go out looking for video borescopes and pipe inspection cameras in the middle of the night. Most companies work on a 9 to 5 schedule and are not able to assist late in the night. AIT did answer the phone as part of their unique 24/7 service philosophy and provided the Crystal River plant with a pipe inspection camera by 2:30 AM. AIT is proud of their responsive customer service for industrial remote visual inspection applications.

Micro borescopes are typically used to remotely inspect the smallest application. Some remote visual inspection applications require access through tiny holes that are less than 2.0 mm (0.078 in). A micro borescope or mini borescope may be semi-flexible or rigid. Typically these small borescopes are limited in length and direction of view is 0° forward with the option for side view mirror sleeves.

These small inspection areas provide remote visual inspection professionals with many challenges. The access dictates the inspection requirements more than any other factor. The smaller the inspection area the more limited the choice of micro borescopes available and the number of manufacturers of these mini borescopes. Finally, Due to the nature of a micro borescope, it is more susceptible to damage. Users need to be aware of the limitations of smaller diameter borescopes and fiberscopes and work within these.

Applications for Micro Borescopes:

• Engineering & Manufacturing. Micro Borescopes provide cost-effective examination of internal structures without tear down. A micro borescope allows engineers to check for pitting, cracking, corrosion, erosion, weld and other defects.

• Quality Control. Micro Borescope instruments allow manufactures to inspect components for defects. Mini borescopes provide the ability to inspect internal components, bore holes, castings and other manufactured items such as turbine blades, automotive components, circuit boards, rifle barrels and welds.

• Castings. Micro Borescopes can be used to inspect inside casting of engine blocks and other high quality casted components. Micro Borescope instruments as small as 0.5 mm in diameter and larger are offered to accommodate all casting inspection needs.
