Take advantage of the 170’s thermal and visible video recording feature to document your temperature surveys as video or image files in any of the four viewing modes– visible, thermal, SpyLite ™, and Picture-in-Picture. Files are stored on the included 8GB Micro SD card. Use the Bluetooth connectivity feature to transfer files to your PC, manage imager settings and files, or view live video output. Connect a Bluetooth headset to record and play back audio image annotations hands-free.
