I have an IR cam I use in my work. As with every tool, it has is pluses and minuses. If you understand the technology and know how to apply it, IR scanning is a powerful tool when it comes to predictive maintenance and trouble shooting. I coworker of mine found a pinhole leak in a water pipe in a wall. They knew they had a leak but did not know where. The old way would have been was take a guess and punch a hole until it is found. I used it and found a lingering problem in an extensive lighting system. With the pics in my report expedited the replacement project of the lighting system. I have also use it to TS an electic heat mat system. Although it was under 2 inches of asphalt, you can see in the pics the heat wire in the mat as it zig-zags back and forth. It can be used to find mold, poor insulation, and even studs in a wall. Is there any particular info you are looking for?
