I checked my GFCI breaker with a $220 thermal camera - and it proved me wrong (in the best way)
"Regular readers will know that I have a slight obsession with thermal imaging cameras. I regularly use them built into smartphones, those that can be attached to smartphones, and standalone cameras. I use them for everything from spotting failing components on circuit boards, finding leaking pipes, finding spots in houses where heat is leaking, and problems with car brakes or cooling systems."
"The HF96V features a 96 x 96 IR camera along with a 640 x 480 visible camera to offer three imaging modes: thermal only, visual only, and fusion. If that 96 x 96 thermal camera sounds rather meager, don't worry, because the image is upscaled to 240 x 240 in real-time, and it updates at a speed of 25Hz (that's 25 times a second)."
Standalone thermal cameras provide portable, practical solutions for locating failing electronics, leaks, heat loss, and mechanical problems. The HF96V pairs a 96×96 IR sensor with a 640×480 visible camera and supports thermal-only, visual-only, and fusion imaging modes. The IR image is upscaled to 240×240 in real time and refreshes at 25Hz for smooth scanning. The thermal lens has a 50-degree field of view and a temperature measurement range from −20°C to 550°C with increments down to 0.05°C and a stated reading discrepancy within ±2%. Emissivity and distance adjustments enable more accurate readings across varied materials and situations.
