V5MiX and V7MiX: two thermal resolutions and two microphone arrays, detailed below.
Thermal & acoustic camera
Combine evidence from your equipment.
The V-MiX combines a thermal camera and a microphone array in one handheld device. Observe heat build-up and locate acoustic emissions to document the same area using two complementary techniques.
- Electrical installations
- Investigate hot spots and emissions associated with partial discharge to guide further checks.
- Air and gas networks
- Locate acoustic leak emissions and observe the thermal context of the installation.
- Operating equipment
- Combine thermal and acoustic observations during rounds, then retain useful evidence for diagnosis.

Two technologies, three modes
Choose the view that fits the fault.
Switch between thermography and acoustics or combine both views according to the inspection point.
AC | acoustic
Visualise sound sources in single-source, multiple-source or hologram mode.
MiX | combined view
Bring thermal and acoustic information together in the same inspection workflow.
Thermal and acoustic views complement each other to locate anomalies and prepare a focused investigation.

Technical characteristics
Model selection depends in particular on thermal image detail, thermal sensitivity and the number of microphones.
V5MiX or V7MiX
| Characteristic | V5MiX | V7MiX |
|---|---|---|
| Thermal resolution | 384 × 288 | 640 × 480 |
| Sensitivity at 30 °C | < 40 mK | < 30 mK |
| MEMS microphones | 140 | 162 |
| Thermal ranges | −20 to 120 °C / 0 to 650 °C | −20 to 120 °C / 0 to 650 °C |
| Acoustic distance | 0.3–100 m | 0.3–100 m |
| Touchscreen | 5 inches, 1,280 × 720 pixels | 5 inches, 1,280 × 720 pixels |
V7MiX resolution and microphone count do not apply to the V5MiX. Detection distance depends on the sound source and site conditions.
NetForge support
Observations linked to your equipment.
The camera supports annotations and equipment identification through QR codes or barcodes.
NetForge helps organise inspection points, naming conventions and inspection records. Exchanges with your software environment are scoped according to exportable data and existing tools.
Prepare inspection rounds
Define equipment to inspect, views to capture and conditions to reproduce.
Keep the context
Add voice and text annotations and tags to retrieve findings by equipment.
Compare and communicate
Use the data in AnalyzIR and structure reports to prepare maintenance decisions.
