How to Choose a Thermal Camera for Home Inspection

What thermal imaging can reveal

Thermal cameras help identify temperature patterns around insulation, air leaks and equipment. They cannot independently confirm moisture or the cause of a defect.

What to compare

Evaluate native sensor resolution, thermal sensitivity, field of view, measurement accuracy and image recording. Software-enhanced output is not native sensor resolution.

Recommended comparisons

Compare the TOPDON TC001 Max, MILESEEY TR20 and FLIR C3-X.

Inspection tips

Account for surface reflections and emissivity, and verify suspected problems with appropriate follow-up testing.
