FEATURED RESOURCE

 

Thermal Imaging Camera

Our Thermal Imaging Camera, one of the newest additions to our Library of Things (LoT) helps you visualize the hot and cold spots in your home that can indicate electrical faults, mechanical break-downs, or air and water leaks. This all-in-one, non-contact measurement and imaging tool displays temperature anomalies on screen, allowing you to inspect efficiently and pinpoint the source of problems quickly.

The Thermal Imaging Camera can be borrowed for three weeks. Items in our LoT cannot be reserved; stop by the main desk upstairs or give us a call at 799-1720 to check availability.
