The testo 883-1 Thermal Imaging Camera provides exceptional thermal resolution with 320 x 240 pixel resolution and manual focus. Ideal for service engineers, building energy consultants, and facility managers, it offers advanced features such as SiteRecognition, interchangeable lenses, and wireless connectivity with the Testo Thermography App. Equipped with SuperResolution technology for sharper images, the testo 883-1 helps professionals analyse thermal anomalies efficiently and accurately.
  • High-Quality Thermal Resolution  – IR resolution of 320 x 240 pixels (enhanced to 640 x 480 pixels with Testo SuperResolution technology)
  • Exceptional  Thermal Sensitivity – < 0.04°C NETD for detecting even the smallest temperature differences
  • Manual Focus & Interchangeable Lenses – Ensures sharp images for both close and distant objects
  • Smart Image Management – Testo SiteRecognition automatically assigns images to the correct measurement location
  • Multi-Device Wireless Integration – Connects via Bluetooth to the testo 770-3 Clamp Meter and testo 605i Thermohygrometer for comprehensive thermal analysis.
The testo 883-1 Thermal Imaging Camera is designed for professionals who require precise, high-quality thermal imaging. Whether used in industrial maintenance, facility management, or energy consultation, the testo 883-1 provides exceptional image clarity with an IR resolution of 320 x 240 pixels, upgradable to 640 x 480 pixels with SuperResolution technology. Its <0.04°C thermal sensitivity ensures accurate detection of even the smallest temperature variations, making it an invaluable tool for identifying potential issues in buildings and machinery.

For ultimate convenience, the Testo SiteRecognition feature automatically assigns thermal images to their corresponding measurement locations, saving time and eliminating the need for manual organisation. The Testo Thermography App enables professionals to analyse data remotely, create reports on-site, and even live-stream measurements to a smartphone or tablet for instant collaboration.

The manual focus and interchangeable lenses allow users to capture clear images at both close and long-range distances. The ScaleAssist function ensures objectively comparable thermal images, while the Testo IRSoft Software enables in-depth thermal analysis and professional report generation.

For service engineers and facility managers, the testo 883-1 integrates with Bluetooth-enabled Testo clamp meters and humidity probes, allowing real-time measurement data to be overlaid onto thermal images. This feature is particularly useful for electrical inspections, HVAC assessments, and equipment monitoring.

For building energy consultants, the humidity mode utilises real-time humidity data to detect and visualise mould risks with an intuitive traffic light system (green = safe, yellow = caution, red = high risk). This makes the testo 883-1 an essential tool for detecting structural issues, assessing thermal insulation, and preventing moisture damage.

With intuitive touchscreen and joystick controls, an IP54-rated rugged casing, and long battery life, the testo 883-1 Thermal Imaging Camera is a reliable and durable solution for all thermal inspection needs.

  • Evaluate heat status in low, medium and high voltage plants
Mechanical maintenance
  • Identify wear on machines
  • Test motors, bearings, shafts

    Detecting structural defects and ensuring construction quality

    • Detect potential building defects, prove quality and the implementation of construction measures without contact – with the help of thermal images
    • Test air-tightness of windows and doors
    • Locate insulation errors and cold bridges in a building shell
    • Detect and visualize mould-risk areas

    Professional energy consultation

    • Analyze building shells, evaluate energy efficiency, identify energy-saving potential with a thermal imager from Testo
    • Easy recording and documentation of energy loss from buildings
    • Prove faulty insulation and cold bridges without contact, and visualize them in an infrared image
    • Localize untight spots in new buildings quickly and easily in combination with Blower Door

    Preventing mould formation

    • Localize mould-risk areas quickly and easily: These areas are presented in red in the imager display when the imager is in humidity mode
