The FLIR E96 Advanced Thermal Imaging Camera is FLIR’s top-of-the-range model in the Exx series. It has the highest IR resolution of any model, 640 x 480px, and a larger, 1-8x continuous digital zoom. The camera has an IR resolution of 640x480px which provides 307 200 measurement points. This infrared-imaging camera also has a thermal sensitivity of 30mK (at 30°C with a 42° lens). The FLIR E96 Advanced Thermal Imaging Camera can measure temperature to an accuracy of ±2°C/2%. It supports the following temperature ranges:
Featuring the UltraMax® Enhancement function which can be used to increase the number of measurement points to 1.2 megapixels. The UltraMax® Enhancement function captures a series of radiometric images which are combined, without compromising radiometric data, using an UltraMax® algorithm and a FLIR analysis software program. This function is particularly useful when inspecting small or distant components as it increases the camera’s distance-to-spot ratio. Additionally, the MSX® Image Enhancement function which overlays visual details onto thermal images to increase depth and clarity. Digital images are captured using the integrated 5MP visual camera with a fixed focus and LED light. The MSX® Image Enhancement function improves the ease with which the sources of faults can be identified.
Furthermore, the FLIR E96 includes a 1-8x continuous digital zoom, three spot meters (in live mode), and three area meters (in live mode). It is also equipped with tools that enable the user to build reports; for instance, he/she can sketch onto thermal images via the 640x480px display and can save images and footage with a GPS tag, voice annotations and/or on-screen text. It is also compatible with analysis and reporting software such as FLIR Thermal Studio (included) and FLIR Thermal Studio Pro (NOT included).
Radiometric, IR and visual images and footage can be saved to the camera’s 8GB SD card; radiometric images are saved as JPEG files. Additionally, the user can stream radiometric, IR and visual footage. To this end, it includes a Wi-Fi interface which allows the user to connect to a smartphone or tablet. The FLIR E96 also supports USB, Bluetooth and DisplayPort interfaces.

The simple folder and naming structure means it is easy to recall saved files. Adding to ease of use is its pistol-shaped design which enables single-handed operation, intuitive user interface, practically placed menu buttons, and fast-responding touchscreen display. Moreover, the FLIR E96 Advanced Thermal Imaging Camera has been drop-tested from 3m (6.6ft) and has an average battery life of over 2.5 hours.
There are several versions of the FLIR E96 available. These vary in regards to their supplied FLIR AutoCal Lens/ Lenses; please see the table below for further details.

The FLIR AutoCal Lenses are interchangeable; the FLIR E96 will auto-calibrate to accommodate the attached lens ensuring that it will provide high-quality images and precise temperature measurements regardless as to which FLIR AutoCal Lens is used. It also includes four selectable focus modes: Continuous Laser Distance Meter (LDM), One-Shot LDM, One-Shot Contrast, and Manual.
Each of FLIR’s AutoCal Lenses is optimised for a particular purpose:
FLIR’s FlexView Dual Field of View Lens allows you to survey sites and take precise temperature measurements without changing lenses. At the push of a button, you can switch from a wide-view lens to a telephoto lens. In addition to this, the FLIR FlexView DFOV Lens makes it possible to place 2.8x pixels on your target using optical zoom. The FLIR FlexView DFOV Lens saves you time and space. It lowers your risk of missing anomalies and allows you to perform efficient, accurate inspections.
METERLiNK compatibility means it can be connected to other FLIR tools such as multimeters and clamps. Data that has been gathered using these tools can be saved alongside thermal footage and images.
The inclusion of FLIR’s exclusive Inspection Route Camera function makes the FLIR E96 ideal for thermographers who regularly inspect a lot of buildings and equipment. It guides the user through a pre-planned inspection route ensuring that he/she gathers data and images at specified inspection points and it will also automatically organise collected measurements and media.
Using the Route Creator Plug-in for FLIR’s Thermal Studio Pro Software (NOT included), the thermographer can design an inspection route that includes as many inspection points as required. These points can be organised to ensure maximum efficiency.
The FLIR E96 is a high-resolution, adaptable and ergonomic infrared-imaging camera optimised for inspection and troubleshooting applications.
