Why is Thermal Imager Cameras So Expensive?

Many technician want a thermal imager of their own. As you know, Thermal cameras can be used for a variety of applications, such as security, surveillance, industrial inspection, and medical imaging.

Thermal cameras are also used in many different industries, including security, search and rescue, and law enforcement.

While buying a thermal device, we look at the features and the price tag of the product and then compare it with others in the market. Thermal devices take the form of cameras, riflescopes, binoculars, etc.

If you explore the marketplace, you’ll find that the prices of these devices are  relatively high than standard day optics.

Now, this might come as a shock at first, but let’s explore what makes these devices so pricey. Here are some factors that decide the price point of different thermal equipment:

    Thermal Imaging Detector
    Germanium Lens
    Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA)
    Thermal Algorithm
    Others (assembly, environment, tests, etc.)
    Cryogenic Cooler (for cooled thermal imagers)


Conclusion
All in all, thermal cameras are expensive because they use infrared technology to detect heat signatures. This technology is not widely available, and it is expensive to produce.

NQIANLI SuperCam 3D Thermal Imager Camera, from China Phonefix shop is an fine choice. It holds an affordable frice for $513.39, and it uses one-button power cord connect supply power to the motherboard.

We can adjust the display mode to thermal imaging mode, and enable the software quick check function to detect faulty parts.

Thanks to USB interface, it can be connected to the computer, which is more convenient to use and avoids the network cable interface being occupied.
