The testo 883-1 Thermal Imaging Camera provides exceptional thermal resolution with 320 x 240 pixel resolution and manual focus. Ideal for service engineers, building energy consultants, and facility managers, it offers advanced features such as SiteRecognition, interchangeable lenses, and wireless connectivity with the Testo Thermography App. Equipped with SuperResolution technology for sharper images, the testo 883-1 helps professionals analyse thermal anomalies efficiently and accurately.
For ultimate convenience, the Testo SiteRecognition feature automatically assigns thermal images to their corresponding measurement locations, saving time and eliminating the need for manual organisation. The Testo Thermography App enables professionals to analyse data remotely, create reports on-site, and even live-stream measurements to a smartphone or tablet for instant collaboration.
The manual focus and interchangeable lenses allow users to capture clear images at both close and long-range distances. The ScaleAssist function ensures objectively comparable thermal images, while the Testo IRSoft Software enables in-depth thermal analysis and professional report generation.
For service engineers and facility managers, the testo 883-1 integrates with Bluetooth-enabled Testo clamp meters and humidity probes, allowing real-time measurement data to be overlaid onto thermal images. This feature is particularly useful for electrical inspections, HVAC assessments, and equipment monitoring.
For building energy consultants, the humidity mode utilises real-time humidity data to detect and visualise mould risks with an intuitive traffic light system (green = safe, yellow = caution, red = high risk). This makes the testo 883-1 an essential tool for detecting structural issues, assessing thermal insulation, and preventing moisture damage.
With intuitive touchscreen and joystick controls, an IP54-rated rugged casing, and long battery life, the testo 883-1 Thermal Imaging Camera is a reliable and durable solution for all thermal inspection needs.
