Ultrasonic camera for partial discharge, gas leak and abnormal noise detection
The acoustic camera combines a 112-channel digital MEMS microphone array with an 8 MP optical camera to visually locate partial discharges, gas leaks and abnormal BSR (buzz, squeak, rattle) noise. The effective frequency range runs from 2 kHz to 100 kHz and the measurement distance spans 0.5 to 200 m.
Advantages
Location with 112 MEMS microphones
The digital microphone array, together with the 8 MP optical camera, overlays the sound image on the real image of the inspected equipment or installation.
Cloud-based artificial intelligence analysis
Captures can be sent to a cloud service that automatically classifies partial discharge events from their PRPD pattern and estimates the flow rate and annual loss of detected gas leaks.
Geographic map of the findings
The GPS position of each measurement is saved through the mobile application connected over Bluetooth, which lets findings be placed on a map of the site and found again on later inspections.
5" touch screen
Colour LCD of 800 x 480 px, with x2 digital zoom, two auxiliary LEDs and brightness of up to 1000 nit so it also works outdoors.
Compact and self-contained
At 237 x 146 x 56 mm and 1.1 kg, it offers up to 5 hours of operation and saves images, video and audio as JPG, MP4 and WAV.
Applications
- Inspection of substations and high-voltage switchgear to detect partial discharge.
- Leak location on gas installations and compressed-air networks.
- Diagnosis of abnormal noise in rotating machinery and production lines.
- Automatic gas leak and partial discharge reports with PRPD classification.
About the product
The camera measures the ultrasonic band from 2 kHz to 100 kHz over a measurement distance of 0.5 to 200 m, with a detection threshold of 2.34 dB SPL at 2 kHz and 20.10 dB SPL at 100 kHz. It stores up to 21 GB in 5-minute clips, holding up to 8400 photos or 20 hours of video, and connects over USB-C or Bluetooth 5.0 to an iOS and Android application. It operates between -20 °C and 50 °C, with up to 5 hours of autonomy and 4 hours of charging.

Frequently asked questions
What types of anomaly does it detect?
Partial discharge, gas leaks and abnormal BSR-type noise, from the ultrasonic waves they generate.
How does the cloud analysis work?
Images and recordings can be sent to a cloud service that applies artificial intelligence to automatically classify partial discharges and estimate the flow rate and annual loss of gas leaks.
Can it place findings on a map?
Yes. The GPS position of each measurement is saved through the mobile application connected over Bluetooth, which lets findings be placed on a geographic map of the site.
How long does the battery last?
Up to 5 hours of operation, with a charging time of up to 4 hours.
What protection rating does the unit have?
The manufacturer does not publish an IP protection rating for this unit.
