Thermal camera comparator

139 devices from 33 brands, compared on their real specs: actually measured resolution, NETD, recalculated IFOV, radiometry, macro lens. Choose your profession or set the weightings yourself.

View the ranking How we score

Each point is a device. Sensitivity on the vertical axis, the fineness of what it can distinguish on the horizontal axis. The two criteria trade off against each other: no single device occupies the bottom-left corner alone.

How to read this table

68: Full score. The manufacturer publishes everything that matters for this use case. The color follows the thermal ramp, from cold to hot.
≈52: Partial estimate. The essentials are published, but not everything. Hover over the cell to see what's missing.
not scored: Too little data. Specs that are decisive for this use case are not published. This is not a judgment on the device.

The same model can be scored for one use case and excluded for another: the criteria that matter are not the same. The middle dot · flags a value the manufacturer does not publish.
