Get started

Booking a camera is easy, just follow our step by step guide to pick and book your camera.

Step 1: Check you're eligible

To be eligible to book a camera you need to have completed our:

Thermal imaging training – this is a free 1½ hour Zoom training that we run 4 times each year during the winter months. Choose and book a session via the link above. Do not book a camera unless you have already completed the training.
Volunteer thermal imaging agreement – this outlines our expectations for anyone borrowing a camera. Having everyone sign this is an important part of getting insurance for our cameras.

Once you have completed both of the above you can move on to Step 2.

Step 2: Note your desired location / camera

Step 4: Prepare for your booking

Keep an eye out for any communications from your camera host in the lead up to your booking pick-up. They may reach out to you if they aren’t available at the exact time you’ve requested, or if there are any changes to your booking.

It’s important to pick up your camera at the agreed upon time. If your plans change and you’re no longer able to make the pick-up time you selected, please let your camera host know. If you need to change the date or cancel your booking, you can do so using the links in your confirmation email.

If you’d like to brush up on how to use your camera before your booking, take a look at the resources on our thermal imaging page. We’ve got manuals and guides for each of the different cameras, and slides and recordings from past thermal imaging training sessions.

Step 5: After borrowing

Please make sure to drop the camera and accessories back at the agreed upon time and complete a Thermal Imaging Survey Record for each building you used the camera on. This helps us understand the impact of the project and supports our case for funding. If there was anything missing or not working please let your host know, and/or contact the CCF thermal imaging team.

If you’ve found the thermal camera training and loan scheme useful, please consider making a donation to help us continue to run and improve the project.
