Thermal camera selector
Find the right thermal camera for your use case
Describe your need in a few answers: use case, budget, working distance and the size of what you want to see. The selector rules out devices that don't fit, flags the ones it can't verify, and ranks the rest by suitability score.
Results are calculated from the specs manufacturers publish alone. This site currently has no commercial affiliation and no selection is made by hand. How the suitability score is calculated.

No device in the catalog meets all these conditions. Widen the budget, move closer to the target, or accept a larger area.

devices to check
They may meet your criteria, but a piece of data the calculation needs is not published. They are neither excluded nor ranked: we never estimate a missing value.
Compatible observation devices, not scored
These devices do not measure temperature. They therefore receive no score or suitability rating, and are simply sorted by native resolution. Also read: thermal cameras for hunting and observation.
Why devices were excluded
Each device is counted once, under the first condition it fails to meet.
How to read the suitability score
- 82%
- 60%: the use-case score. The comparator's score out of 100 for the chosen use case, taken as-is.
- distance
- 40%: resolution at your distance. What the device can distinguish, or reliably measure, relative to the size of your target.
- to check
- Essential data not published. Price, field of view, close focus, or documentation too incomplete to score.
Budget, format, temperature measurement and focus are conditions: a device that doesn't meet them is excluded, it doesn't lose points. A suitability score depends on your answers and cannot be compared from one search to another.
