FLIR iXX is a series of handheld thermal cameras designed to combine industrial-grade thermography with an app-centric workflow tailored to "deskless office" field inspections. Built on FLIR’s ACE operating system, the iXX integrates a 5-inch touchscreen with Wi-Fi and optional LTE connectivity to support data capture, instant sharing, and cloud-linked workflows without a laptop. The series includes four models with thermal resolutions up to 480 × 640 pixels and sensitivity under 40 mK, offering clear thermal imaging for condition monitoring across electrical, mechanical, and building inspection tasks.
The iXX cameras are rugged and portable with an IP54 rating and drop resistance, and they link directly to FLIR Assetlink and Ignite platforms for automated reporting and integration with asset management systems. App support extends to third-party and custom applications that can guide workflows, tag thermal images to specific equipment, and reduce documentation time drastically compared with traditional methods. The series also includes features such as an 8 MP visual camera, work light, and laser pointer to enhance on-site inspection utility.
