TOPDON TC004 Mini Thermal Imaging Camera, 128×128 Thermal Resolution with 240×240 TISR

The TOPDON TC004 Mini thermal imaging camera is a handheld imager for checking heat patterns around homes, electrical systems and machinery. Its listing describes 128×128 thermal imaging enhanced to 240×240 with TISR, so the enhanced figure should not be mistaken for the native thermal resolution.

At a glance

Customer feedback describes the camera as functional and easy to use, with favourable comments about battery life, value and thermal resolution. Some customers report that image quality is mixed and that picture resolution can seem low. That concern is relevant to the stated 128×128 native resolution, even though the listing also describes TISR enhancement to 240×240. Feedback reflects customer perceptions and does not establish measurement performance.

Frequently asked questions

Is 240×240 the camera’s native thermal resolution?

No. The listing describes 128×128 thermal imaging enhanced to 240×240 using TISR. The enhanced figure should not be read as the native sensor resolution.

What temperature range does it measure?

The listing gives a range of -20ºC ~ 450ºC and measurement accuracy of +/-1%.

How long is the stated battery life?

The listed battery life is 15 Hours. Actual runtime may depend on use, and the listing does not specify a test condition for that figure.

What can the temperature alerts do?

When a temperature passes a preset level, the listing says an on-screen warning appears and a photo is captured automatically.
