Camera or moisture meter?
Each tool observes a different property and neither proves the source of damp.
Compare the evidenceSurface-temperature evidence
Handheld thermal imaging for building checks
See surface-temperature patterns, not a diagnosis of leaks, damp or missing insulation. Scan conditions, emissivity and the material in view all affect what an image can support.
Commercial disclosure: CamTherm sells the product shown. Manufacturer-listed specifications are separated from interpretation guidance.
Start with the question
Will thermal imaging add useful evidence?
Choose the guide that matches the observation and the conditions available for a scan.
When should I scan?
Weather, heating state and indoor-outdoor temperature difference change the pattern.
Plan the scan conditionsCold bridge or draught?
A cold area needs context, repeat observations and sometimes another test.
Interpret the pattern carefullyProduct fit
Decide before you buy
Useful for
Comparing surface-temperature patterns in buildings, HVAC systems and accessible equipment.
Check before buying
Required resolution, temperature range, scan conditions, emissivity control and reporting needs.
Cannot establish
A hidden leak, damp diagnosis, insulation defect or electrical safety from an image alone.
