Frequently Asked Questions

OGI is Optical Gas imaging is thermal cameras, also known as infrared cameras, which can visualize gas leaks. In some cases they are referred to as gas leak detection cameras.

Optical gas imaging cameras can detect Methane, CO2 and over 400 VOC’s. In addition to Ammonia, SF6 and others.
You can find out more on the different compounds gas leak detection cameras can detect here:

There are plenty of reasons to detect leaks using Optical Gas Imaging. They include Safety, environmental reasons (GHG reduction), regulatory compliance and operational efficiency.

No. Optical Gas Imaging cameras do not require re callibartion.

Opgal offers a 4 year warrantee on the EyeCGas 2.0. Because it was created as a ruggedized camera,  its extremely durable and does not require any maintenance. In fact, from thousands of cameras which were sold in the past 10 years, we can count in less then one hand the number of cameras which are send back for repair.

No, the kit comes with a special screwdriver and it takes less then a minute to change the filter.

The EyeCGas Multi is equipped with 3 filters to provide you with the best LDAR inspection results:

  • 3.2μm to 3.4μm which is the standard filter.
  • 3.3μm to 3.5μm  which is a special filter for heavier alkanes (improved for long-range detection mostly for VOC’s)
  • 4.2μm to 4.4μm which is a filter for CO2


For Methane, in shorter distances the standard filter is ideal. However, for all other VOC’s the heavier alkanes filter is better. Especially in distances and humid conditions. If your application requires CO2 detection, then switch to the CO2 filter.
