FLIR C5 Compact Thermal Camera – Pocket-sized thermal imaging with FLIR Ignite™ cloud connectivity for restoration, building diagnostics, electrical inspections & preventative maintenance
The FLIR C5 Compact Thermal Camera is a powerful professional thermal imaging solution designed for technicians, restoration specialists, building inspectors, electricians, plumbers, HVAC professionals, and maintenance teams who require fast, accurate diagnostics in a compact, easy-to-carry design.
Featuring a 160 × 120 true thermal sensor (19,200 pixels), integrated 5 MP visual camera, and FLIR’s patented MSX® (Multi-Spectral Dynamic Imaging) technology, the FLIR C5 makes identifying hidden problems faster and easier than ever. From moisture intrusion and air leaks to overheating electrical systems and plumbing faults, the C5 helps professionals locate issues quickly while reducing unnecessary demolition and diagnostic time.
With built-in Wi-Fi connectivity and direct integration with FLIR Ignite™ cloud services, images can be uploaded, organised, and shared instantly from the field. This allows users to create professional reports, improve communication with clients and insurers, and streamline workflow across restoration and inspection projects.
Compact, Professional Thermal Imaging
The FLIR C5 is engineered to deliver professional thermal imaging performance in a truly portable form factor. Small enough to fit in your pocket but powerful enough for daily commercial use, the FLIR C5 combines ease of use with professional-grade imaging capabilities.
Its focus-free lens, intuitive 3.5-inch touchscreen display, and rugged IP54-rated housing make it ideal for Australian job-site environments where speed, reliability, and portability matter.
