What makes the Super iR Cam 2S Pro different from a 2D thermal camera?

2D cameras show a flat heat map. The 2S Pro renders a 3D thermal field distribution, so you see not just where the heat is but how it spreads through the board layers — making it easier to find the root cause of a short or a hot IC. Learn more about the Mega-Idea Super iR Cam 2S Pro →

Can it locate the shorted component on a phone motherboard?

Yes. The bundled MEGA-IDEA software has a one-click PCBA electricity-leakage quick check mode. Power the board, point the camera, and the software adjusts the temperature range to surface the abnormally hot component drawing the leakage current. Learn more about the Mega-Idea Super iR Cam 2S Pro →

What is the resolution and refresh rate?

The sensor is 256 × 192 px with a 25 Hz refresh rate. Images are saved as JPG at 640 × 480, and videos are recorded as MP4. The 25 Hz refresh is high enough to watch heat develop in real time. Learn more about the Mega-Idea Super iR Cam 2S Pro →

Does it need an external power supply?

No. The camera runs on standard 5 V DC through a USB Type-C cable. Plug it into any USB port on your bench computer and it works. Learn more about the Mega-Idea Super iR Cam 2S Pro →

Is the focusing distance adjustable for different board sizes?

Yes. The 2S Pro has a rotating focus from 2 mm to infinity and an upgraded vertical adjusting column, so you can frame everything from a tiny single IC to a full-size smartphone motherboard. Learn more about the Mega-Idea Super iR Cam 2S Pro →
