FLIR C8 Compact Thermal Imaging Camera

The FLIR C8 Compact Thermal Imaging Camera delivers clear thermal detail in a pocket sized format. It combines high resolution imaging with simple controls, so you can work quickly and with confidence. Built for trade professionals, it supports electrical, mechanical, and building inspections with reliable results.

High resolution imaging performance

With a 320 × 240 thermal sensor, the FLIR C8 captures crisp images that support accurate fault finding. In addition, MSX image enhancement adds visual edge detail to thermal scenes, making components and outlines easier to recognise. A 35° × 27° field of view helps you scan larger areas with fewer passes, saving time on site.

Clear temperature analysis

Isotherm alarms highlight areas that exceed your chosen setpoints, helping you react fast to risk. At the same time, a thermal sensitivity of below 50 mK reveals small temperature differences that may indicate early stage faults. The 3.5 inch touchscreen also shows hot and cold spots, giving you instant feedback during checks.

Built in Wi-Fi allows the FLIR C8 to upload images directly to FLIR Ignite for secure cloud storage. USB video streaming supports live viewing for reporting or training tasks. Because the interface is simple and responsive, you can move from capture to review without delay.

Designed for daily field use, the FLIR C8 fits easily into a pocket yet performs like a full inspection tool. It carries an IP54 rating and is drop tested to 2 metres, so it stands up to real site conditions. As a result, you can carry one device that supports fast checks, clear reporting, and dependable thermal diagnostics.
