FLIR E4
Posted: Dec 28, 2013 7:42 pm
I recently purchased a FLIR E4 series IR camera for the purpose of cave detection. We did the first field test with it today. Outside temps were around 26 degrees. We located several small sinks located around 700 vertical feet above a know cave. These were small shallow sinks. At least five or more tested well with the camera. By traditional methods of heat and airflow detection, only a small spot of heat or minimal air flow could be found. But with the FLIR, a much larger area of heat could be found. In some cases, "plumes" were detected. I took three pictures of each sink, 1) heat signature only, 2) picture of heat signature within a picture and 3) a normal digital picture, all done with the FLIR. We were very pleased with results. Please note, we "upgraded" to E4 camera to E8 capability (for free).
