Robust Built Quality and Easy to Use
So Bosch sent me their thermal imaging camera Bosch GTC 400 C , I have been testing it for a past few days. The model I got is operated on 4 AA normal Alkaline batteries that you put in Clocks and TV remote.
But it can also be operated on a 12V chargeable battery , like the one you get with Bosch cordless drill.

This is a thermal imaging camera , which is so much better than thermal detectors or sensors as they can only gauge a point on a surface. While this camera from Bosch gives a high resolution colored image , with different colors representing different temperatures.
