What is an Acoustic Camera?

An acoustic camera combines an array of microphones with an optical camera to detect, locate, and visualise noise sources. By producing a real-time sound map, it makes it easier to identify where noise is coming from.

In this video, we explain:

• What an acoustic camera is and how it works
• How sound is visualised using acoustic imaging
• Where acoustic cameras are used in real-world applications
• Why they’re a valuable tool for noise investigations and diagnostics

If you’re involved in noise monitoring, product development, or acoustic consultancy, understanding acoustic cameras can help you identify and solve noise issues more efficiently.
