FOTRIC Launches TK6: True 384×288 Thermal Camera with Ceramic-Packaged Detector, Manual Focus, and 3.5” HD Display
SANTA CLARA, Calif., Nov. 06, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- FOTRIC today announced the launch of the TK6, a professional-grade handheld thermal camera starting at USD $699, dramatically lowering the entry barrier for true professional thermal imaging. Until now, cameras featuring 384×288 resolution, ceramic-packaged detectors, and manual focus lenses have typically sold for more than $2,000.
FOTRIC TK6 — Professional Thermal Imaging Starting at USD $699
The FOTRIC TK6 sets a new benchmark in the affordable professional segment. It combines a true 384×288 infrared detector (110,592 real pixels) with ceramic sensor packaging, ensuring durability, accuracy, and reliability in demanding industrial environments. In the thermal imaging industry, 384×288 and above defines the professional class—below this range, most products rely on interpolated or algorithmic “up-res” methods that simulate higher resolution rather than capturing it.
At its core, the TK6 employs a 17 µm pixel-pitch detector, larger than the 12 µm sensors commonly used in budget models. The result is a stronger signal-to-noise ratio and sharper, higher-contrast thermal images, especially when detecting subtle temperature differences.
Because the TK6 captures real-time native-pixel imagery, it preserves clarity even when inspecting moving or transient targets. Many low-cost cameras depend on multi-frame super-resolution algorithms that combine sequential images; when either the user or the subject moves, those systems can blur or lose critical details. The TK6’s genuine pixel-by-pixel imaging eliminates that risk.
Equipped with a 3.5-inch high-definition display, the TK6 delivers clear visualization for field diagnostics. Its manual focus lens—a hallmark of professional imagers—enables users to achieve precise clarity across varying distances, ensuring accurate temperature readings whether the target is near or far. In contrast, “focus-free” entry-level cameras can only measure accurately at one fixed range.
