C- Series Thermal Imaging Systems by FLIR

Introduction
The FLIR C-Series are a set of portable, full-featured, thermal cameras for use in thermal inspection of buildings, electrical/electronic, and mechanical systems. They are excellent non-destructive tools for fault location and verification of the repairs performed. You can carry them in your pocket so that you are ready to find hidden plumbing blockages, HVAC issues, structural defects, hotspots, and various other problems. The MSX system allows real time superposition of optical image over the IR picture for identification of faulty components.
