MeterLink
Moisture data and thermal images combined
Thermal imagers help you find moisture damage, energy loss, and insulation problems quickly and easily, but in many cases you’ll need to quantify the severity of the damage on the thermal images you provide to customers or insurance companies. MeterLink puts it all together.
FLIR’s revolutionary MeterLink wirelessly transmits vital moisture data from MeterLink-enabled moisture meters directly to the camera, annotating the thermal image with the information needed to help document your findings. This adds credibility to your findings, both before and af ter repairs.

Reporting Software
From moisture damage to mold, missing insulation to leaky windows, electrical faults to HVAC problems, FLIR infrared cameras are powerful tools for finding a variety of problems in all kinds of buildings. But your ability to document and report your findings is just as important as your ability to discover potential problems in the first place.
Your reports need to be easily customized for any situation and customer requirement. They need to reflect your professionalism and the qualit y of your work. Your recommendations for action need to be clear and well documented in order for others to complete repairs.

About FLIR
All infrared cameras are not created equal, because infrared camera manufacturers are not all the same. FLIR stands above the rest.
The largest commercial infrared company in the world, FLIR has nearly 50 years of experience building and integrating high-performance infrared cameras, giving us a command of these specialized technologies that no one else can touch.
FLIR’s products are at work every day saving lives, protecting our troops overseas, and helping to keep borders and facilities safe.
Now, FLIR’s cameras are available for your personal use, too. You can have a FLIR on your boat, your car, or even as a home security camera. The same FLIR technology in your maintenance camera is in Audi and BMW cars as a pedestrian detection system. And if you enjoy hunting and outdoor actives, there’s an inexpensive FLIR for you too. You might not know FLIR by name, but you have been seeing our products at work since the 1960’s.
If you are looking for infrared camera products, you’ve come to the right place.
12 things to consider when selecting an infrared camera:
1 Not all infrared cameras offer the
same measurement accuracy: Select the camera that delivers accurate and repeatable results.
2 Most infrared cameras have fewer
pixels than visible-light cameras, so pay close attention to detector resolution: Higher resolution infrared cameras can measure smaller targets from farther away.
3 Many infrared cameras store images
in a proprietary format, making it a hassle to share them with others: Choose a camera that stores JPEG images for easy sharing and analysis.
4 If you need to report your findings
to others, be sure to buy a system with a built-in visible-light camera with illuminator lamps to help you document problems in dark areas.
5 A built-in laser pointer helps you to
visually pinpoint your hot spots for photos.
6 Consider the camera’s design
ergonomics and the types of inspections you will likely perform, as some cameras are hard to use when imaging in hard-to-reach areas.
7 Be sure you can replace batteries
in the field, and that the battery technology is Lithium Ion (or newer) so you get maximum battery life.
8 An Image Fusion feature blends the
thermal and visible-light images, providing reports that are easy to understand.
9 Not all reporting software products
are created equal: Be sure to try out the product first to find the one that’s right for you.
10 Choose a camera with a wide
temperature range so you measure ambient and high temp spots in the same image.
11 Camera upgrade potential gives you
the freedom to upgrade your camera features/functions as your IR program grows, instead of buying a new camera.
12 Make sure your investment in an
infrared camera is backed by a strong manufacturer who provides ongoing technical support and training.
