The Testo 883-1 Thermal Imaging Camera is a high-performance thermography tool engineered for building energy consultants, facility managers, service engineers, and industrial maintenance professionals. Featuring a 320 x 240 infrared resolution—upgradable to 640 x 480 pixels via SuperResolution technology—this device delivers ultra-sharp thermal imaging for accurate analysis of electrical systems, HVAC units, building insulation, and machinery.
With < 0.04°C NETD thermal sensitivity, the 883-1 detects even the slightest thermal anomalies, making it ideal for preventive maintenance and structural assessments. The manual focus and interchangeable lenses allow for detailed thermography at both short and long ranges, ensuring flexibility across multiple applications.
Smart features like Testo SiteRecognition automatically tag thermal images with the correct location, reducing errors and saving time in reporting. The Testo Thermography App enables remote camera operation, real-time image sharing, and on-site reporting from your smartphone or tablet—perfect for fast-paced inspections.
The 883-1 also integrates with Bluetooth-enabled Testo instruments such as the Testo 770-3 Clamp Meter and Testo 605i Thermohygrometer, overlaying real-time electrical and humidity measurements directly onto thermal images. This seamless integration enhances diagnostics for electrical faults, ventilation issues, and building moisture concerns.
Humidity mode helps building energy professionals assess mould risk areas using colour-coded traffic light indicators—green (safe), yellow (caution), and red (high risk)—to prevent structural damage and improve occupant safety.
Housed in a rugged IP54-rated body and featuring touchscreen and joystick controls, the Testo 883-1 offers long battery life, user-friendly navigation, and professional reporting software (IRSoft) for deeper analysis and compliance documentation.
