InfraCAM infrared camera

red dot award: product design 2007

An infrared camera is an instrument used for measuring temperature while visualising the heat image of an object. It is a non-contact method used for many applications. The primary ones for InfraCAM are finding electrical and mechanical components that are overheated, as well as finding insulation problems and water damages in buildings. An overall aim for the design was that the camera should be very intuitive and easy to operate. This has been achieved by a user-centred design process optimising the camera and its user interface to be an instrument that allows users to solve problems easily. The ergonomic concept is optimised for one-hand operation (either left or right) and features an optimised weight balance as well as a display that can be viewed from a wider angle. The InfraCAM has a rugged design for use in harsh environments.
