ACOUSTIC CAMERA
We offer you the opportunity to use the system for recognizing sound sources in real (present) time, the so-called real-time. The measurement system that you can use can be used for stationary and field acoustic measurements.
The acoustic camera is used to find the causes of excessive noise, i.e. the sound sources that emit it, for example noise produced by specific machines. The effect of their work can be viewed on the monitor in the form of a color image of the sound intensity distribution in real time. From such a study in real time, a photo can be taken - as joined together.
How does an acoustic camera work and where is it used?
The acoustic camera is a very useful instrument supporting design in the automotive, aerospace and other industries. It is also used at workplaces or in vehicle cabins - where it is difficult to locate the source of noise impact.
identification of the main sources of noise:
- industrial,
- at workstations,
- solving noise problems in machine cockpits.
- documentation of real-time measurements,
- leak detection in industrial volumes,
- audio recording, visualization and the tested frequency response in real-time and an active buffer system.
- wide frequency range,
- battery ensuring camera operation up to 5 hours,
- the ability to overlay sound sources on a photo or video,
- the possibility of using measurements and implementing them in calculation methods,
- use in the design of noise protection in production plants.
Advantages of the acoustic camera
The acoustic camera allows the assessment of noise sources and their location in a way incomparable to traditional methods using a sound level meter, which most often makes it possible to isolate the source that actually emits excessive noise. The main function is fast location of noise sources, especially in places where access is difficult and visualization of the distribution of the acoustic field.
The big advantage is the option visual presentation measurement results in the form photos or videos. It is an invaluable tool when working with a plant representative who has no knowledge of acoustics. It gives the ability to quickly locate and identify the problem and visualize it without the need to take many measurements, analyze them and create a detailed report that a person without the appropriate knowledge may not understand.
Another advantage is time to find the noise source without the need for a large number of measurements and processing. After recognizing where the cause of the noise lies, you can make a sound level meter measurement in a specific, specific place to have data from the instrument covered by certificates and other documents confirming its accuracy class.

The camera also gives great opportunities in assessing many noise sources located next to each other.
It is often difficult to find the source of noise among the many devices located in the engine room or on the roof of the building. The camera can be useful in identifying which equipment is the main contributor to noise level exceedances (or one of the more significant outcomes).
It is also very convenient to use virtual microphone allowing for analysis the frequency spectrum of the acoustic signal coming from a given point from the device. It is enough to choose by pointing with the marker to the place from which we want to analyze the signal. The algorithm of the program enables the display of the spectrum after the beamforming algorithm, and thus indicates the spectrum coming from a given place (point, station).
The acoustic camera is also used in construction. You can use it find acoustic leaks responsible for the decrease in insulation of building partitions, doors or windows.
There are many purposes for the device. It can help not only in identifying noise sources, but also in detecting damage to machinery (for example, torn coating of a wind turbine blade).
Main features of acoustic camera measurement:
- quick identification and localization of noise sources,
- the ability to identify noise sources located in hard-to-reach places,
- the ability to analyze the frequency spectrum coming from a specific place (stand, point) from a specific device,
- the possibility of visual presentation of the distribution of the acoustic field in the form of video recordings and photos,
- quick generation of reports,
- the possibility of recognizing acoustic leaks for partitions and building elements such as windows, doors,
- easy use and speed of taking measurements,
- a huge time-saver in research to determine noise emission reduction measures.
