All the important information about the testo 883-1 thermal imaging camera
This thermal imaging camera is designed for service technicians, building technicians and energy consultants. testo 883-1 is a reliable partner on your thermography assignments. The excellent image quality and practical functions allow you to save time and perform accurate jobs.
- IR resolution of 320 x 240 pixels (640 x 480 pixels with SuperResolution), manual focus and excellent NETD of 40 mK ensure the very best image quality – so you can easily and reliably detect anomalies in installations and buildings
- testo SiteRecognition offers intelligent image management. The thermal images are automatically linked to the correct measurement object, thanks to QR codes at the measurement site – you don’t have to copy image by image into the right folder yourself
- testo IRSoft – analyze the IR images with the intuitive PC professional software and quickly create impressive reports
- testo ScaleAssist gives you automatic contrast adjustment to create objectively comparable IT images and more easily detect weak points in the design
- With the testo Thermography app, you can use your smartphone/tablet as a second monitor and as a remote control for your thermal imaging camera. You can quickly create, send or save reports directly at the measurement site
- An interchangeable telephoto lens (optional) for remote measurement objects and outdoor thermography
- Manual focus delivers sharp IR images from 10 cm
- Can be controlled via touchscreen and joystick
- Wireless transmission of readings from the seaweed ammeter or moisture sensor directly into the IR image via Bluetooth®

More benefits for energy consultants
- Produce professional reports quickly and easily. The Report Wizard guides you step by step through the reporting process thanks to standard templates. You can also create your own templates
- The moisture function allows you to visualize the risk of moisture damage in weak points directly in the thermal image using the traffic light principle (red, yellow, green)
- Thermography and live streaming – with the testo Thermography app, your customer can easily follow the measurement on a smartphone or tablet
- Wireless transmission of measurement values from an external humidity sensor (testo 605i – to be ordered separately) in humidity measurement mode – measurement values are always up-to-date, e.g. when moving from one room to another
- Interchangeable optics and manual focus provide sharper images and more accurate results from different distances.
More benefits for service technicians and building technicians
- Easy to handle – smart image and data management thanks to testo SiteRecognition. The IR images are automatically linked to the correct measurement object thanks to QR codes, data matrix codes, barcodes or Testo 2D codes. Transfer of measurement locations from existing lists and export of measurement results (in .xls format) allows further processing in third-party programs
- Perform quick analysis directly at the measurement site with the testo Thermography app and share the IR images directly with your colleagues
- Wireless transmission of measured values from the testo 770-3 Testo current clamp directly in the thermal image – thanks to this, you can document the load directly in the IR image, for example, when checking control cabinets and assessing the overall status of the electrical system.
- Intuitive operation via touchscreen and joystick
