I tested a $200 thermal camera to check my GCFI breaker - and it's very accurate
Briefly

The article highlights the author's passion for thermal imaging cameras and their practical applications, from detecting heat leaks to diagnosing faulty components. The focus on the HF96V thermal camera underscores its value given its affordable price point compared to competitors. With functionalities such as upscaling thermal images in real-time, different imaging modes, and a high temperature range, this camera stands out as a versatile tool for both professionals and hobbyists. The author emphasizes the importance of high-quality imaging in reliable diagnostics.
High-quality images are vital for accurately diagnosing faulty components. I've tried using cheap cameras with poor-quality output, and they're just not up to the job.
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.
