Tip of the Week: Borrow the Library’s Thermal Imaging Camera to Find Heat Leaks in Your Home

Did you know that there is an easy way to pinpoint the source of cold air entering your home? In fact, you can measure the temperature of walls, doors, windows, or any surface with a handheld STEELMAN PRO 79041 STI-241 Thermal Imaging Inspection Camera.

Available to borrow from the Newton Free Library at their Library of Things, this instrument displays thermal information in real-time on its 2.4-inch full-angle, high resolution color LCD screen. To improve recognition of the area being measured, this product is equipped with a traditional visible light camera in addition to the infrared camera with a small white LED light mounted under the camera to illuminate darkened inspection areas. By blending the thermal heat map image with the visible light image in 25% graduations you can see a clear and precise image of the object being examined. Store up to 25,000 thermal, visible, and combined view images on the removable Micro-SD card and can be transferred to any tablet, laptop or PC with an appropriate card reader for analysis and printing for additional diagnostics.
