New Higher Resolution 320 x 240 IR Infrared Thermal Imaging Camera. Model HTI-19 with Improved 300,000 Pixels, Sharp 3.2″ Color Display Screen, Battery Included. Lightweight Comfortable Grip.

 

I bought this unit a few years ago to use on a project and was quite satisfied with the results. After some time in storage the unit appeared to now be dead and the battery unable to hold a charge when I went to use it recently. I msg’d the seller and they kindly sent out a replacement Li cell at their expense! Unit is working well again, really appreciate those manufacturers/sellers that will go out of their way make things right.

 

If you are looking for a good camera this one has a good resolution, the exact quality you need in this type of viewing. Easy to use and fast on the pinpoint targeting. One future it could use in next models is an auto shut off. Battery lasts descent. Wouldn’t be hard to solder in a new 18650 lithium cell with the time comes to replace the battery.

 

air leaks around windows and doors and checking wiring for hot spots

 

Gert auspacken, einschalten, funktioniert! Bei den ersten Versuchen war ich begeistert. Heizungsrohre im Boden finden, Wrmeverluste an der Hausfassade… perfekt. Spektrum Naturalfarben, glhendes Eisen oder Grautne Schwarz bis wei – alles prima. Auch die gute Auflsung der IR-Bilder besttigt sich. Leider gibt es auch einen Nachteil: Die Farben auf dem Bildschirm lassen sich nicht fest den Temperaturen zuordnen (zumindest habe ich noch keine solche Funktion gefunden). Somit sind die Bilder (z.B. von Hausfassaden) nicht vergleichbar: die hchste gemessene Temperatur entspricht immer der hellsten Farbe, die tiefste Temperatur der dunkelsten Farbe. Damit kann die hellste Farbe z.B. +1 oder auch +8C sein. Die dunkelste kann -2C an der Hauswand oder auch -50C am Himmel sein. IR-Bilder sehen immer gleich aus, obwohl auf jedem Bild andere Temperaturen dargestellt werden. Hier sollte der Hersteller noch nachbessern.

Thie camera is good for my purposes. However, there are better and more expensive alternatives. It can be used for several purposes: detecting heat leaksi, over heated electrical installations, etc. However, the picure quality is so low that you do not want to post them on the Internet.

It is a workhorse but nothing to brag about.

The case does not close properly. As a result, I have dropped the camera already twice.

 

For the price, it’s excellent. I use it for home inspections. 320×240 is the minimum thermal resolution I’d recommend using for that purpose. I’m able to find active wet spots with no problem with this camera. For this price point you wont get any cool features like wifi sharing. But if you’re on a budget and just need a thermal camera that has good imaging, this is a great bang for your buck. Only issue I have with it is the micro-usb location. Cordnit comes with is fine. Others may not fit innthe small recessed access slot. Other usb cords seem to charge the camerw, but dont work forndata tranfer when hooked up to my laptop. May not be making a full connection due to the recessed location?

 

Have to say very impressed with this, has been a life saver helping me find a central heating leak and excellent for finding hot spots in electrical equipment.

 

Gute Thermalkamera fr Haus-Wrme-Leckagen;
Optik ist in diesem Bereich und mit diesem Gert wesentlich besser als Handy-Thermal-Camera-USB-Wachel-Installationen.
Auch ist die 9Hz-Performance, wirklich besser als Handy-Thermal-Cameras, weil diese Handy-Dinger meist unter der eigenen Software-Bremse leiden, und haben oft nur 1Hz-Standbild-Wechsel-Performance.

Deshalb scheint es fast so als wenn die 9hz-Performance der HT-19 wesentlich besser ist.

Auch ist der interne Bildspeicher sehr gro und vertrgt viel Bildmaterial.
—
Nur die Beschriftung der Tasten ist gewhnungsbedrftig, weil die “Enter-Taste” rechts auen eigentlich die Beschriftung ESC (Escape) von der Funktion her tragen mte.
Aber wenn man es wei, dann ist das Men gut bedientbar.

Resme: TOLLES GERT !!!

 

esegue il lavoro x me in modo buono direi eccellente

 

il prodotto ha un’ottima risoluzione ma anche 2 limiti importanti, il primo il wifi assente, non possibile inviare le foto al telefonino ne tantomeno visualizzare la rilevazione in tempo reale sul nostro dispositivo che dispone di un display molto pi ampio, il secondo la eccesiva distanza tra sensore e obiettivo standard, il che rende difficile sovrapporre le immagini (termica/reale), nelle impostazioni si pu calibrare ma a patto di usare sempre la stessa distanza di rilevazione, come ci si avvicina o allontana il problema ritorna, per il resto fa il suo lavoro egregiamente

 

I just bought this item so i can’t speak to battery life. Despite some difficulty with delivery service, the seller was responsive and the item arrived on time. The menu navigation system is intuitive and very simple. With an OTG cable, this device works with the Android OS! I used FX file Explorer. No mention is made of Android in the documentation but it does work!

 

The initial camera was great but the charging port stopped working. The seller shipped a replacement and it arrived quickly.

 

I don’t use infrared cameras for too much but my house was leaking heat into my attic and it was causing a lot of condensation and moisture build up in the winter… Not good. With this camera I was able to see where the heat was leaking into the attic. The skylights were a big source of heat leaking but it also found other areas too. It was perfect to find and seal off the heat leaks from the living area into the attic. I added insulation in those areas to seal them off and the condensation cleared up. Just for fun I took a pic of my heated floor and you can see the coils. My dog too.

 

Me decant por esta cmara sobre todo por la resolucin.
Es una cmara para lo que es. No esperes funciones extravagantes ni mens raros.
En la pantalla siempre te marca los puntos con mayor y menor temperatura y, si quieres, la temperatura en el punto central de la imagen.

Pros:
– Muy intuitiva, aunque el manual lo explica todo y no hace falta romperse la cabeza.
– Puedes mezclar la imagen real con la trmica en 5 porcentajes diferentes.
– Tienes opcin de desplazar la imagen real si no coincide 100% con la trmica.
– La resolucin. A ver si encuentras otra cmara con esta relacin de resolucin/precio.

Contras:
– A nivel profesional se puede echar de menos algn software para el estudio/anlisis de las fotos trmicas.
– No graba video.

 

Purchased for a plumbing job to find some hid dent pipe work which was causing issues to the heating. Found it within 20 mins of getting it out the box. Saved hours and hours of lifting and ripping the customers floors apa

 

If you’re searching for a tool to provide temperature data for each pixel, open your wallet & keep shopping. If you are wanting a device that blends optical 320 x 240 with infrared 320 x 240 in increments of 25, 50, 75 or 100%, with a center point for temperature & 2 moving points for min/max temperature, this does a great job. Saved pictures store on fixed internal storage (3gb), quickly recognized by Windows 10 via micro USB cable (included with 120v to USB charger). Battery life appears great; I only use it for 15 minutes at a time and am still working off the first full charge I did. Works great in and around the house. I bought it to identify air gaps in my attic, works great.

 

A questa cifra non si pu pretendere di piu.
PRO
Intuitiva nell’utilizzo
Ottima risoluzione
Durata batteria
Robusta e solida
Versatile
CONTRO
Assenza software post elaborazione
Connettivit solo con cavetto USB
Assenza di certificazione europea quindi va usato buon senso nell’utilizzo per scopi professionali (es. perizie termografiche etc…)

 

I like the price for this fairly good quality high resolution device. It arrived quickly and it is easy to use.

 

I am a solar consultant and battery system designer and installer for the renewable energy industry and my main purpose for purchasing this tool is to ensure there are no terminations of wiring in any of the AC and DC sections of the equipment I install that will show an elevated temperature due to resistance at terminations or to improperly sized conductors (wiring).
The HTI-19 should also be valuable to test the operating temperature of inverters, converters, and charge controllers based on the ambient temperature of the installation site.

I have just started my own beta-testing for the product to ensure it will meet my needs.

In my first test, I aimed the camera at a panelboard to determine if there were any hot spots (indicating excessive temperatures due to loose connections on the bus bar or wiring on an attached breaker). I did find a loose AFCI breaker attachment to the bus-bar that resulted in tempertures that were 21 degrees fahrenheit higher than any other areas in the panelboard.

The second test I did was in a junction box that houses control circuitry and a contactor that feeds a 2000 watt heating element in a hot water heater. I was surprised to find that the camera was able to detect temperatures in the 140-144 degree range in this junction box. The HTI-19 was detecting the temperature of the coil which is below all wiring on the contactor. The coil is responsible for the electromagnetic field the allows the contactor to be energized to allow 240 volts to the 2000 watt hot water heating element.

The third test I did was to see if I could locate metal trusses that are in the ceiling above my office that serve as both floor and ceiling joists. It was rather easy to differentiate the metal studs from the rest of the structure due to the temperature differential (the studs were 9 degrees cooler that the rest of structure).

My only issue that I have encountered so far is the lack of the ability to attach a lanyard to the actual camera (not the case) as I will be using this camera on rooftop installations and in commercial panelboards where I do not want the possibility of inadvertently dropping the camera.

The HTI-I9 will also be valuable to assess a site prior to commencing work to ensure their are no thermal issues in existing equipment before work is started. A famous adage in the electrical industry is the last electrician in to a site will get blamed for the sins of previous installations.

FYI, I have been looking for an IR Camera for the past 2 years and the cost of the usual suspects (Flir, Fluke, Etc.) has led me to acquire the HTI-19.

So far, so good, but I will update this review if I encounter any issues that make my use of the HTI-19 limited due to deficiencies.
Sincerely,
Matthew Corona

 

I gave it all 5 stars because for the price the hti-19 is as close one could get to a 1000-2000$ unit;
I know very well what I get this unit for, didn’t expect to watch movies or take clear pictures on it, I build homes quite often and it does a lot of work for me on that regards.
Nr one reason I got it, I had an expensive unit (won’t mention brand) that got stolen and in my latest house, my hardwood installer covered one of the heat registers in one of the bedrooms and didn’t want to go on a fishing expedition and try to find it blindly, this unit makes that work a smooth experience since will give you the difference in tem, mind you, will not read thru material like drywall or hardwood, but will tell you the difference in temp with regards to these materials.
Also, I happen to keep bees as well, and again, while it can’t read temp thru the hive box, will tell me the difference in temp with regards to any location of the box, hence allowing me to see where the bees are clustered without me opening the lid and cool their environment and force them to overwork to reheat their cluster, this toy does that for me and that is of great benefit to me.
Hope that helps, yeah, there are people out there that might feel that they’ve been cheated with regards to description, but unless you know what you wanted for the value of it, don’t complain for the wrong reason.

Works great, we have been renovating / remodeling a home and have been able to troubleshoot many issues with insulation, electrical, AC and heatthe different uses and applications can help me be very thorough at work. Color differences help me find air leaks and energy loss while also helping me discover possible leaks or areas that are saturated with water but not showing signs on the surface yet. I’m very happy with this device!

 

Works great! I’m a home inspector and have had it for a week and the camera has already paid for itself. Found moisture invisible to the naked eye.

 

A qualifier here is that this is the first thermal imaging camera I’ve owned. I did quite a bit of research, though, before buying which included watching Youtube videos and reading. The majority of the videos were made with different FLIR models, which cost far more. I can’t tell the difference. The only real difference I see between camera models is resolution and whether it uses WIFI for download, which would definitely be convenient.

It is easy to use. I do recommend watching some demonstration videos if you have never used one. There are methods of framing the image to maximize the image that you are after. I have already located a ground fault plug the needs investigation, and a furnace vent that needs insulation.

I would be very interested to use this unit alongside an equivalent resolution FLIR model to see if there is any real difference other than the price tag. The videos I’ve watched on using thermal imaging in home inspection sure haven’t shown any difference.
