The FLIR C5 compact thermal camera, available now from RS Components, is excellent for building inspections, facilities maintenance, electrical repair, HVAC/R, and other troubleshooting applications. Featuring a thermal camera, visual inspection camera, and LED flashlight, the device makes it straightforward to identify hidden problems.

Built-in FLIR Ignite cloud connectivity provides direct data transfer, storage, and backup, so images are constantly available on all your devices. The 3.5" integrated touchscreen is easy to use, so users can quickly inspect, document repairs, and share evidence with customers. The user can share findings easily and securely by sending a password-protected link via email.

Users can identify and troubleshoot problems faster with the 160 x 120 true thermal imager and5MP visual camera. Time can be saved on manual thermal adjustments using 1-Touch Level/Span, which auto-adjusts the level and span in an area of interest with one touch.


The IP54 enclosure provides a high level of protection against dust and water and can withstand a 2m (6.6') drop. The compact device can easily be stowed in a user's pocket or a crowded tool bag.
