Description
Mechanic iScout Infrared Thermal Imaging Camera
Upgrade your electronics repair or QC bench with the Mechanic iScout Thermal Imaging Camera — engineered to help technicians, mobile-phone repair specialists, and PCB diagnosticians quickly locate faults, shorts, and overheating components with thermal imaging instead of trial-and-error soldering or testing.
Whether you’re working on smartphone motherboards, laptop PCBs, or power/supply boards, iScout offers a plug-and-play workflow: connect to a phone or computer via USB-C, launch the companion software, and you get real-time IR imaging. With its 52,000-point full-frame infrared detection and 3D thermal-field view, you can visually map temperature changes across the board — including subtle hotspots, shorts, or leakage paths.
The built-in one-key leakage detection mode can detect current leaks as low as 6 mA, helping you spot even minor defects before they cause larger damage.
With adjustable lens angle/position and support for various viewing distances (standard detection distance ~100-150 mm, extendable to ~30 mm for close-up work), the iScout adapts to a range of repair contexts — from full-board scans to detailed component-level inspection.
For electronics repair shops, hobbyists, and quality-control labs alike — the iScout delivers high-resolution infrared insight that speeds up diagnostics, improves accuracy, and reduces the need for destructive probing or guesswork.
✅ Key Features
- 256 × 192 IR sensor with 52,000-point full-frame detection — precise thermal imaging reveals overheating components, shorts, or anomalies on PCBs and motherboards.
- One-Click Leakage Detection (detects as low as 6 mA leakage) — instantly highlights current leakage faults or subtle shorts without complex testing.
- 3D Thermal-Field Distribution & Analysis — visual 3D mapping of heat distribution and temperature changes; plus 2D thermal-field curve mode for detailed heat-pattern study.
- Comparison Mode (Good vs Faulty Boards) — compare thermal profiles of working vs faulty PCBs to quickly spot defective zones.
- Compatible with Phone or Computer via Type-C USB — plug-and-play support for smartphone or PC usage; ideal for flexible workshop setups.
- Adjustable Lens Angle & Variable Working Distance (30 mm – 150 mm) — supports both full-board scans and close-up component diagnostics.
- Color Palette & Thermal Contrast Modes — change image color schemes or adjust contrast to highlight subtle temperature differences for fine-detail inspection.
- Compact & Portable Design (~433 g net weight) — easy to carry and set up, suitable for bench repair, field diagnostics, or lab use.
- Photo & Video Capture (JPG / MP4) — record thermal inspections for documentation, troubleshooting history, or client reporting.
- Wide Temperature Detection Range (≈ –15 °C to +600 °C) — suitable for a broad array of electronics diagnostics scenarios involving normal operating temps or overheating faults.
