160 × 120 native thermal sensor, NETD 100 mK, 60 Hz.

    19 200 points measured · 307 200 displayed
    Number of the sensor's measurement points, shown to the catalog's scale. The largest sensor in the database has 327 680 points.
    Published by the manufacturer

    The most misleading resolution discrepancy in the database. The sibling model 2258-21's commercial name is "7.8KP", referring to the SENSOR's 7,800 pixels (102 × 77 according to retailers, 160 × 120 according to other sources for the 2260-21). The screen itself displays at 640 × 480. Milwaukee sells a professional tool while foregrounding a figure that unambiguously matches neither the sensor nor the screen, with two sources contradicting each other on the exact native resolution.

    Observations

    • Interchangeable battery on the M12 tool system, recharges in 30 minutes, versus several hours for most mains-powered competitors.
    • A focus distance of 4 inches, roughly 10 cm, comparable to a FLIR C5.
    • RESNET compatible, a US standard used for home energy certification.
    • A 60 Hz frame rate. The highest in the entire database, with no export restriction mentioned.
    • Discontinued model, still available secondhand and from some professional distributors.
