Features

  • Impressive Imaging Quality With the HSFTOOLS Snapshot Super Resolution image enhancement algorithm, the HF256 thermal imager improves thermal image clarity from 256x192 to 320x240 at snapshots. The thermal sensitivity below 40 mK provides high-definition details, while the 25 Hz high frame rate ensures a smooth browsing experience on the 3.2" screen when checking for anomalies. Press the down button to switch 6 color palettes in one click, which meets your specific needs in multiple scenarios.
  • Handy & Easy to UseThe compact HF256 infrared camera comes with a carrying case and is a go-to tool for daily work. Its 3.2" LCD screen with 4 buttons is simple to operate with gloves. Thinkable power save functions like auto power off, sleep, and adjustable screen brightness to extend operation hours. Built-in protective lens cover prevents the IR lens from dust, moisture, and scratches.
  • Fast Anomaly RecognitionThe HF256 thermal camera features a wide temperature range of -4F to 1022F, making it suitable for a wide variety of home and work sites. It automatically tracks maximum, minimum, and center temperature spots and 3 user-defined spots, intuitively displaying real-time temperature readings. Additionally, you can set temperature exceedance alerts through visual OSD text or audio alerts to identify anomalies promptly and take action before significant failures occur.
  • Durable and Sturdy (1) Built-in 16GB eMMC flash memory can store approximately 90,000 standard thermal images. (2) Built-in rechargeable lithium-ion battery provides up to 6 hours of continuous operation. (3) The 6.6ft drop test and IP54 protection rating allow you to work with confidence in most different work scenarios and even harsh environments. (4) Designed with a standard tripod hole, it's supported to combine with a tripod to assist inspection works.
  • Accurate Temperature MeasurementThe HF256 infrared camera adopts an advanced VOx detector, which enables it to detect temperature differentials as small as 0.04C and ensure that the temperature readings discrepancy is within max(3.6F, 2%). Additionally, the thermal imager allows users to change emissivity settings based on specific materials and adjust the distance to objects, ensuring more accurate temperature measurements on a variety of substances, including wood, bricks, and more.

  • The tool you did not know you needed
Who would know this tool had so many applications for me! I ordered it to assist in additional insulation of my attic. It worked like a charm for that. It shows you where thermal differences in the ceiling are, “cold bridges” and such and you can figure out the best bang for the buck places to insulate first. I thought that’s the only thing I’ll ever use it for - wrong! The next thing I noticed - it shows me studs on exterior walls, because these are always cooler. Next time I needed to hang something on the wall - I grabbed this tool and it was perfect for that. Forget stupid “stud finders” - thing shows you all of them at once. Then, the time came to repaint a ceiling in kids bathroom, it had a bunch of protruding nails which I normally replace with screws when refinishing ceiling and then repaint. When the nail head is fully exposed - I can easily address it. The problem is when there is a bulge on the drywall but the nail is not visible. Normally I’d guess where it is, and try to get it. More often than not I miss, and end up having huge hole rather than tiny hole, after few attempts. This camera shows you nail heads exactly! No guessing involved. The metal has different thermal signature and it is cooler in winter if on the exterior wall. Watch it, mark it, done! More recent application (but I am sure not the last) - when washing carpet. After I wash carpet I normally test if it dried by touching it. Not reliable method and you cannot touch all of it. And it never dries evenly. This tool shows me exactly when and where the carpet is dry (its temperature will match corners) and where it is still wet. See photo. This removes any guessing from the process and prevent wet socks!:) ... show more

  • I bought this fun
Just a man looking for more tools to help around the house. This is very useful. You can see studs and sparking wires without tearing a hole in the wall

  • pretty good
i love it helped me spot airflow leaks in my house and even a window that was leaking that i had no clue well worth the money. id say the only downside would be the screen update as it freezes often when sensing different temp ranges

  • Better than $3,000 units!
This unit actually works better than a $3,000 unit! We had out concrete floors scanned for in-floor heat runs. They used a unit that was over $3,000. It worked good. We ended up moving some walls around and was not comfortable "hoping" we didn't hit anything. I bought this unit and could see the pipes in the concrete better than their unit. ... show more

  • Better then TC004.
I'm a plumber. I bought this one first then bought TC 004 $100 more price because of the high review. When I compare both found this one is far better in resolution and clarity except the build quality. Tc004 More heavy because of large battery and 15% better build quality. I don't need that extra large battery this one is more than good enough for daily work. As well as I love the resolution and picture clearity. So I return that tc004 and keep this one. I'm writing this review after 2 months and I am 100% happy for my buy. ... show more

  • Not so good far away
Didn’t impress me but still it’s the only one I’ve tried to use up till now.

  • Super-simple. Shows you the IR world just the way you want to see it.
Intuitive right out of the box. Works like a super-simple digital camera. The settings are easy and it's easy to take photos if you want and get them to your computer. Also, I like the little flip lens cover.
