The ASP-Micro TM160 by AGM Global Vision is the perfect entry-level thermal imaging camera. With a 160x120 resolution, full-color display, digital zoom up to 4x and a usage time of up to 7 hours, the thermal camera offers everything you need. This makes the ASP-Micro an ideal detection tool for numerous applications. Because of its light weight and compact size, it is a real pocket-sized thermal camera.
Internal properties
The camera is equipped with a 160x120 detector and has a 50hz refresh rate (real-time image). The image is projected on a full-color display (720x540 pixels). The optical magnification of the viewer is 1x, but with a digital zoom you can further enlarge the image up to 4x.
Thermal imaging range
The thermal monocular can detect vehicles up to a distance of 559m and people up to 182m. Please note that this is the distance that you see "something" and should not be confused with the identification distance (at that distance you can e.g. determine whether the person you see is male or female). The camera's field of view is 15.6 degrees horizontally (at 1x zoom). The fixed-focus ensures that there is no need to focus manually all the time.
Useful functionalities
You can have the environment displayed to your preference using four color palettes: White hot, Black hot, Red hot and Fusion. The thermal imaging camera also has a so-called Hot Track function, where animals/people with cursors are "pointed out" directly. You can also measure the approximate distance to people, objects or animals using the "Distance measurement" function. You can adjust brightness and contrast both automatically and manually (five levels).
Making and sharing images/recordings
With the thermal viewer you can record videos and take photos endlessly. Your recordings are automatically stored in the internal 8GB memory. Using a Wi-fi connection or via the included USB-C cable, you can easily transfer your recordings to your smartphone, tablet, laptop etc.
Live-streaming with your smartphone or tablet
As with high-end thermal imaging cameras, the ASP-Micro also lets you live-stream images to your smartphone/tablet and control camera settings remotely. This can be done with the free T-Vision app (for iOS and Android). Connection is via Wi-fi.
External features
Because the viewer is IP67 certified, you can take the device with you anywhere without worry. This means that the thermal imaging camera is waterproof and dustproof and can also withstand a fall from 1.5 m onto concrete. Even in very cold temperatures (-20°C) and extreme heat (up to +55°C) you can use the camera without any problems. The internal Li-ion battery ensures that you can use the device for up to 7 consecutive hours. The camera also has a standby mode.
Are you a hobbyist, do you want to use thermal imaging for the first time or do you just not use thermal imaging cameras that often in your application? Then the ASP Micro TM160 is highly recommended. It has all the features you need and offers a very acceptable resolution and viewing distance. The advantage of a thermal imaging camera is that it is never dependent on the weather or ambient light, because images are displayed based on heat sources. This makes the camera universally usable for all kinds of situations in which you want to visualize something that is invisible to your own eye. For example, you can use the camera if you:
• like to see what is walking in the forest at night
• want to check whether someone is walking on your property
• need to find your pet back in the garden
• are a hunter and want to detect wildlife/animals
• want to detect air leaks in your home
• want to locate concealed water or heating pipes
