We know hidden leaks and noisy equipment eat budgets and cause unplanned downtime across production and utilities. FLIR Acoustic Imaging cameras help teams pinpoint the source of sound-based faults fast, reveal problem severity, and guide repairs so maintenance crews act with confidence and keep operations humming.
FLIR Acoustic Imaging cameras are a cutting-edge technology developed by FLIR Systems, a company renowned for its thermal imaging solutions with customised training in UAE. These cameras utilize advanced acoustic technology to visualize sound waves and detect sources of noise in various environments. Unlike traditional cameras that capture visual images, FLIR Acoustic Imaging cameras detect and visualize sound waves, allowing users to see the direction and intensity of sound sources.
This technology can be particularly useful in industrial settings for detecting machinery faults, in automotive applications for identifying vehicle noise issues, and in research environments for studying acoustic phenomena.
Why acoustic imaging matters
Losses from compressed air and gas leaks, failing bearings, and partial discharge can be huge. Acoustic imaging turns invisible sound into a visual overlay so inspectors and engineers can:
- Locate leaks and faulty bearings from a safe distance.
- Reduce inspection time and avoid costly shutdowns.
- Prioritise repairs that yield the highest ROI.
- Improve safety by diagnosing problems without exposing technicians to hazardous areas.
Product spotlight — FLIR Si2-Pro
The FLIR Si2-Pro helps you significantly lower costs associated with mechanical bearing issues and partial discharge on electrical equipment. It also enables you to drastically reduce leaks in your facilities, cutting down expenses related to compressed air and gas leaks. With the Si2 series, you’ll experience the best-in-class performance, decision support, fleet management, and enterprise data integration available. For specialized needs, you can choose from additional models: opt for the Si2-LD for advanced leak detection and mechanical fault detection applications or select the Si2-PD for your electric utility applications.
ADVANCED LEAK DETECTION
Precisely detect, locate, and measure compressed air leaks, gas leaks, and partial discharges. Identify and quantify both minor and elusive issues from up to 200 m (656 ft) away—boosting operational efficiency and ensuring safety.
BEARING FAULT ANALYSIS
Save on costly repairs, reduce downtime, and enhance maintenance efficiency by identifying bearing defects before they cause equipment failure.

How we help your team
We pair acoustic imaging with thermal inspection to give a fuller picture of asset health. Our engineers deliver concise reports with recommended actions, estimated savings, and a simple priority matrix. For facilities with many assets we can deploy fleet management tools that track inspections, firmware updates, and enterprise reporting so you gain long-term visibility into recurring problems.
Typical ROI and impact
Clients commonly see measurable savings from reduced compressed air waste, fewer emergency repairs, and longer bearing life. In many mid-size plants, inspection-led repairs and leak remediation pay back equipment costs in months, not years. The reporting we provide also helps justify capital budgets by showing clear cost-avoidance benefits.
FAQ
Q: How fast is an acoustic inspection?
A: A typical walkthrough audit with an acoustic imager takes a fraction of the time of manual point-by-point testing. You can cover a plant area in hours instead of days, depending on plant size and ambient noise.
Q: What environmental conditions affect acoustic imaging?
A: Wind, background noise, and obstructions can affect detection range. Skilled operators and proper scanning techniques minimize false positives.
Q: What training do my technicians need?
A: We offer the two-day Introduction to Thermography course and tailored customized trainings in electrical, mechanical, furnace, and optical gas imaging to bring technicians up to competence.
Q: Is there post-sale support?
A: Yes. We provide commissioning, periodic calibration guidance, and optional service contracts for fleet customers.
