The FLIR A500 has a measurement accuracy of ±2 °C (or ±2% of the reading) and a resolution of 464 × 348 pixels. Onboard measurement tools and programmable alarms allow the camera to process data directly, delivering real-time analytics and immediate actionable insights.
The A500 features motorised, manual, and one-shot contrast focus, measures temperatures ranging from -20 °C to 1500 °C, and has 6°, 14°, 24°, 42°, 80°, and FlexView lens options.
Compatible with Ethernet, optional Wi-Fi, and Power over Ethernet (PoE) support, along with compatibility for Ethernet/IP, Modbus TCP, MQTT, and REST API protocols. The camera can stream radiometric and visual video, generate multiple alarm outputs, and automatically highlight hot or cold spots, making it ideal for monitoring critical infrastructure, industrial processes, and safety-sensitive environments.
