When using an IR thermal imaging camera, if the temperature of the background surrounding the target is too cold or too hot, it will affect the accuracy of temperature measurement. Generally, thermal imaging camera applications can adjust their curves after the thermal image has been stored, but the focal length cannot be changed after storing the image, so it is impossible to eliminate other thermal reflections. Therefore, we need to adjust the focal length or measurement direction to reduce or eliminate these effects. The IR thermal imaging camera is equipped with a unique laser automatic focusing system, which can intuitively indicate the target position and is suitable for multi-directional focusing operations.
The temperature measurement range is the most important performance indicator for IR thermal imaging applications. Since the IR thermal imaging camera detects imaging through measuring the temperature of the target, the temperature measurement range should neither be too narrow nor too wide. Before measuring the temperature with the IR thermal imaging camera, adjust the measuring range to make it as close as possible to the temperature of the target, so that the best image quality can be obtained.
Actually, the maximum detection distance is not a fixed data, but this distance is related to the size of the target and the performance of the infrared detector. When using the same IR thermal imaging camera to measure a relatively large target area, the detectable distance is farther, and vice versa. Therefore, when detecting smaller targets, an appropriate IR thermal imaging camera must be selected to ensure temperature detection within the effective distance, in order to avoid inaccurate data. The IR thermal imaging camera should be kept at a moderate distance from the target during detection, and distance that is too large or too small will affect the use.
Just like when taking pictures with a phone, if you accidentally shake it, the photo taken will be blurred. When using an IR thermal imaging camera, pay attention not to shake it too much when pressing the storage button, to ensure accurate and non-blurred imaging. Alternatively, the instrument can be supported with a tripod to make it more stable.
Due to the distribution of the target, the working environment of the IR thermal imaging camera is often outdoors, making it easily affected by weather factors. Of course, the atmospheric environment cannot be changed, but we can adjust appropriately based on its characteristics to ensure the accuracy of measurement data. In addition, try to choose an environment with no rain, no fog, no sunlight, or at night, and no wind or low wind, so that there are fewer impurities or reflections, and unnecessary reflections can be avoided.
For professional equipment like the IR thermal imaging camera, it is not easy to learn how to use it. Therefore, to obtain the most accurate detection data, it is best to have professionals operate it. Personnel can also discuss and learn from each other and exchange experiences.
Note that regular maintenance is necessary. Any equipment will inevitably have some problems after being used for a period of time, so regular maintenance is necessary. Once a problem is found, it should be solved immediately to avoid causing bigger problems and inconvenience later.
