TOPDON TC005 Handheld Dual-Camera Thermal Imager

The TOPDON TC005 is a professional-grade handheld thermal imager built for electricians, industrial technicians, and inspectors who need accurate, repeatable results on the job. With a laser distance measurement tool, 8.5-hour battery life, 64GB of onboard storage, and a rugged IP54-rated housing, it's designed to perform through full-day inspections in demanding environments — and keep a thorough record of everything it finds.

256×192 IR Sensor With TISR Image Enhancement

The TC005 uses a 256×192 uncooled infrared sensor with TISR (Thermal Image Super Resolution) processing that brings the effective display resolution up to 512×384. Combined with a thermal sensitivity of less than 40mK and a 0.1°C temperature resolution, the result is crisp, detailed thermal imagery capable of revealing subtle heat variations across circuit boards, mechanical components, and building systems. A 25Hz frame rate keeps the image smooth and responsive as you move through a scan.

Laser Distance Measurement for Repeatable Results

The integrated laser targeting and distance measurement tool is one of the TC005's most practical additions for professional inspection work. Being able to verify and log the exact distance from sensor to subject means your temperature readings are consistent from one inspection to the next — critical when you're documenting equipment over time or comparing results across multiple sites. It also helps confirm you're within the camera's optimal measurement range of 8 inches to roughly 16 feet (0.2m to 5m) before you record a reading.

-4°F to 1,022°F Measurement Range With Professional Accuracy

The TC005 measures temperatures from -4°F to 1,022°F (-20°C to 550°C) with an accuracy of ±2°C or ±2% of the reading. Temperature can be displayed in Celsius, Fahrenheit, or Kelvin — the inclusion of Kelvin readout signals the industrial and scientific applications this camera is built for. Three measurement modes — center spot, hot spot, and cold spot — allow you to zero in on the data points that matter most for your inspection type.

Dual-Camera Design With Four Imaging Modes

Alongside the IR sensor, the TC005 includes a 2-megapixel visible-light camera that works in four imaging modes:

• Thermal Only — pure infrared for maximum heat contrast
• Visible Only — standard camera view for reference and documentation
• Dual Fusion — blends thermal and visible imagery so heat signatures are shown in the context of the physical object
• Image-in-Image — displays a thermal overlay within the wider visible image simultaneously for combined reference

Seven color palettes — White Hot, Black Hot, Lava, Iron, Rainbow, RainbowHC, and RdGy — give you flexibility to tune the display for your environment and target.

8.5-Hour Battery and 64GB Storage for Full-Day Documentation

The TC005's 5,000mAh battery provides up to 8.5 hours of continuous operation — more than enough to cover a full shift without stopping to recharge. When the battery does need attention, it charges via USB-C in approximately 4 hours. Onboard 64GB eMMC storage gives you ample room for capturing large volumes of thermal images and data across multiple inspections without constantly offloading files.

Standalone Operation and Multi-Platform Connectivity

The TC005 runs on Linux and operates as a fully self-contained standalone device with its own 3.5-inch 640×840 display — no phone or computer required. When you're ready to analyze and report, it connects wirelessly to the TopInfrared mobile app on iOS or Android, and via USB to TopView PC software on Windows for advanced thermal analysis and professional report generation. Updates are handled by connecting to a PC.

Industrial-Grade Build With Calibration Certificate Included

The TC005 carries IP54-rated dust and water resistance and is tested to withstand drops up to 6.6 feet (2 meters), impacts up to 25g, and vibration up to 2.5g — meeting IEC 60068 environmental standards. A standard 1/4-20 tripod screw mount is built in for hands-free operation when needed, and a built-in LED flashlight keeps you working in dark spaces. Every TC005 ships with both a user manual and a calibration certificate, confirming the unit has been verified for measurement accuracy out of the box.
