Accolade 2 vs 1 Quick Sensor Comparison

In this short video, we look at the difference between the image quality on the Pulsar Accolade 1st and 2nd generations.

The Accolade 2 has a NETD rating of less than 40mK which means that it can distinguish differences in temperature better than many consumer grade thermal imaging devices.

Some of the time, these differences will be barely noticeable, for instance when the weather is really warm and there are naturally wider differences in temperature of the things you're observing. However, when conditions aren't as favourable, such as when there is rain or mist, thermal imagers can sometimes struggle to differentiate temperature differences and therefore give a cloudier image which lacks definition.

NETD stands for Noise Equivalent Temperature Difference which is basically a measurement of how well a thermal imager distinguishes small temperature differences and thus how clear the image is. NETD is measured in millikelvin or mK and most consumer grade thermal imagers are in the 50-70mK range with only higher end commercial grade imagers usually sitting at under 40mK. The lower the number, the better the imager performs.

The results in this video speak for themselves.
