Fluke has launched the ii01 Acoustic Camera for Android, the first device in its new iSee Mobile Imaging Series. The compact camera clips onto an Android phone's USB-C port and uses Fluke's SoundMap acoustic imaging technology to help maintenance technicians locate compressed air and gas leaks without carrying a dedicated handheld instrument.
The ii01 integrates 16 high-precision MEMS sensors and covers a frequency range of 2 kHz to 48 kHz, wide enough for compressed air leak detection, air tightness inspection, and general noise location. A dedicated leak mode locks onto the 40 kHz band with a single button press on the main menu, and the screen displays a real-time dB reading at the center of the target for closer diagnosis.
The interesting part is the form factor. Instead of a standalone acoustic imager that can cost thousands of dollars, Fluke is routing the sensor array through a phone technicians likely already carry, which could put acoustic leak detection into more hands on the plant floor rather than just the specialists who own a dedicated unit.
Vineet Thuvara, Chief Product Officer at Fluke, said in a statement that "advanced diagnostics should not be limited by complexity, cost, or accessibility," adding that the ii01 is meant to help teams "shift from reactive troubleshooting to more proactive maintenance strategies."
The device weighs about 50 grams, is built from aluminum, and skips physical buttons in favor of a simplified interface run through the Fluke iSee app. Captured images and video, up to 5 minutes per clip, save directly to the phone's library with custom watermarks and can be shared or turned into reports from the field. The ii01 ships with a soft protective case and a quick reference guide.
Fluke positions the ii01 as the opening entry in a broader iSee mobile imaging lineup that will sit alongside its existing handheld thermal cameras rather than replace them.
