Is the FLIR E8 Pro good enough for electrical inspections?

Yes. Its 320 x 240 detector and 0.04°C sensitivity resolve hotspots in panels and wiring, and the 550°C top of range covers most electrical work.

Can I focus the FLIR E8 Pro?

No. The lens is fixed focus, so it is set for typical inspection distances. Very close or obstructed targets are harder to capture than with a manual-focus camera.

The Pro adds a touchscreen, on-image notes, Wi-Fi upload to FLIR Ignite and MSX, while keeping the same 320 x 240 resolution class as the E8.

Does it work with the FLIR Tools app?

Yes. Images can be shared and reports built through FLIR Ignite and the FLIR Tools mobile app.

What is included with the camera?

The camera comes with a USB cable for transferring images to a computer. A FLIR Ignite account is used for cloud uploads and reporting.

What reviewers say

Owners and trade reviewers treat the E8 Pro as a dependable inspection camera: quick to point and shoot, with thermal detail good enough to spot electrical and HVAC faults. The fixed lens and small screen draw the most complaints.

What people mention

Image qualityPraisedOwners say the 320 x 240 detector shows enough detail to pinpoint hotspots and moisture.
Ease of usePraisedFixed focus and auto-calibration let users shoot without adjusting settings.
FocusCriticisedReviewers note the lens cannot be focused, which hurts close-up or partly blocked targets.
ScreenMixedThe touchscreen is handy for contrast and notes, but its small size makes image review fiddly.
ReportingMixedWi-Fi upload and FLIR Ignite reports are convenient, though some users find the workflow tied to FLIR's software.
BuildPraisedThe IP54 body and 2-metre drop rating are cited as holding up to site conditions.

About the FLIR E8 Pro Thermal Imaging Camera

The FLIR E8 Pro is a handheld thermal imaging camera for inspections and reporting. It has a 320 x 240 pixel infrared detector (76,800 measurement pixels) and a 5 megapixel visual camera. It is the top camera in the FLIR Ex series.

The camera is auto-calibrating and focus-free. A 3.5-inch color touchscreen lets you tap an area of interest to adjust thermal contrast, and the 1-touch level/span feature auto-adjusts level and span for that spot. You can add notes with the on-screen keyboard. Images can be viewed in thermal, visual-only or MSX (enhanced thermal) modes. MSX merges a higher-resolution visual image with the raw thermal image of the same scene.

Images upload to the FLIR Ignite cloud over Wi-Fi, or transfer to a computer with the included USB cable. Reports can be created and shared with FLIR Ignite, FLIR Thermal Studio and the FLIR Tools mobile app. The body has a pistol grip and is splashproof (IP54) and drop tested from 2 meters.
