    Observations

    • The only French brand in this comparison. Chauvin Arnoux, a long-established Paris-based manufacturer of electrical measuring instruments, offers this camera for building diagnostics. A deliberately entry-level position: an 80 × 80 sensor, one of the lowest resolutions in the catalog alongside the PerfectPrime IR0280 and the TOPDON TC004 Mini, but in a square format like those two.
    • VOICE ANNOTATION FEATURED AS A KEY SELLING POINT ('vocal annotations to record your comments'), joining the list of devices already equipped with this feature (testo 890-2 DLX, Trotec IC080 LV), but here on a much more affordable device, which suggests this function is cheaper to implement than it might appear.
