Infrared thermal imaging cameras are mainly used in R&D or industrial testing and equipment maintenance. They are also widely used in fire protection, night vision, and security. Infrared thermal imaging cameras have incomparable advantages and features than other products of the same type. 

However, If the operation is often performed in an incorrect and irregular manner, it will affect the accuracy and service life of the instrument, and cause the following malfunctions in the thermal imaging camera.

1. The infrared thermal camera works and stops from time to time, and the measurement process is unstable

This may be caused by the improper connection or poor contact with the thermal imaging camera. With the increase of the time and frequency of use, foreign matter such as dust may be deposited at the line connection, and the metal may also oxidize when exposed to the air for a long time. These will form obstacles to the line connection and cause short-circuit conditions.

If this happens to the thermal imaging camera, it must not be taken lightly, because if it is handled improperly, it will not only seriously affect the performance of the device, but may even cause irreversible damage, causing loss and inconvenience to the user.

2. The monitor screen is jittery, and the image cannot be stabilized

This situation is mostly caused by interference in the transmission signal of the infrared thermal imaging camera or damage to the signal transmission of the transmission cable.

With the rapid development of information technology, the unit density is almost full of signals of different transmission frequency bands within the space of people's lives, which will inevitably cause interference with each other, which affects the stability and safety of the equipment. 

As the transmission cable is a very important key link in the entire system, the transmission reliability of different media and equipment is also different. If the site environment is bad, it will be affected to different degrees.

It is recommended to take corresponding measures during the operation of the thermal imaging camera to eliminate the interference of surrounding signals as much as possible and choose the configuration you want to adapt according to the actual situation to avoid affecting the image quality.

3. The image quality is not clear or misplaced

The overall operation of the thermal imaging camera involves the linkage of multiple links such as the host, monitor, and transmission equipment. If this happens, you need to investigate each link one by one to find the key to the problem. For example, check whether the parameter settings of the instrument are correct and standardized, whether the host is operating normally, whether the monitor has line connection problems, whether the transmission equipment is intact, etc.

Infrared thermal imaging cameras are high-tech products, so you must be careful and cautious during use to avoid economic losses. Don't panic if you encounter a failure, you can make preliminary measures based on common troubleshooting methods, and seek help from professional and technical personnel if necessary.
