A practical walkthrough of installing SnapCor on Android, setting up your first inspection, and using the core features that put thermographic reports on site, in under 60 seconds.
If you spend more time writing thermographic inspection reports than you do capturing images, you are not alone. For most thermographers, the bottleneck is not the survey itself. It is everything that happens after: the load corrections, the fault grading, the formatting, the back-and-forth on templates, and the late nights spent turning a folder full of thermal images into a client-ready PDF.
The SnapCor app was built to remove that bottleneck. It is a professional thermographic inspection reporting platform designed for Android tablets and phones, built by the team behind TI Thermal Imaging and the well-established TICOR reporting system. SnapCor turns thermal images into structured, BS7671-aligned reports while you are still on site, so you can hand a finished report to the client before you leave.
This guide walks you through how to install the SnapCor app, set up your first inspection, and use the features that make on-site reporting possible. By the end, you will know exactly how to get up and running and what the platform delivers once you do.
Quick start: You can try SnapCor free for 14 days with no card required. The app is available now on Android via the Google Play Store.
What Is the SnapCor App?
SnapCor is a thermography reporting app for electrical and building thermographic inspections. It is built around how thermographers actually work in the field: capture thermal images on your camera, import them into the app, apply load correction and fault grading, and publish a fully formatted report from your tablet or phone.
Where traditional thermal imaging software pushes you back to a desktop after the survey, SnapCor keeps the entire workflow on the device you already have in your hand on site. The result is an ISO 18436-7 aligned and BS7671 informed PDF report delivered in around sixty seconds.
The app is built for:
- Independent thermographers running their own inspection businesses
- In-house electrical maintenance and reliability teams
- Facilities management companies handling multi-site portfolios
- Condition monitoring teams in oil and gas, utilities, manufacturing, and data centres
- Training providers teaching thermography reporting from day one
You can read more about the company background and the wider thermal imaging service offering on the Ti Thermal Imaging website, and see the platform in action on the SnapCor YouTube channel.
Why Reporting Speed Matters in Thermography
Before getting into the install steps, it is worth understanding why a dedicated thermographic reporting app exists at all.
A typical electrical thermographic inspection produces dozens or hundreds of thermal images. Each one needs the right context attached: asset ID, location, ambient temperature, load conditions, emissivity, reflected temperature, and a measured component temperature. Then comes the analysis: applying load correction so a part-loaded component is graded as if it were running at full load, and assigning a fault severity in line with BS7671 reference temperatures.
Done manually in a spreadsheet and a Word template, a single inspection can absorb a full day of post-survey reporting. Multiply that across a multi-site portfolio and reporting becomes the single biggest constraint on how many inspections a thermographer or team can deliver per month.
SnapCor automates the repetitive parts of that workflow so the expertise stays with the thermographer and the admin disappears. The Fluke engineering team make the same point in their guide on how software tools improve thermal inspection reports: the report is just as important as the image, and the right tooling makes the difference between a backlog and a same-day delivery.
System Requirements: What You Need to Run SnapCor
SnapCor is currently an Android-only app, optimised for tablets but fully usable on phones. Before you install, check that your device meets the following:
- Operating system: Android 10 or later (Android 12+ recommended for best performance)
- Form factor: Android tablet (preferred) or Android phone
- Storage: At least 2 GB free for the app, templates, and locally stored inspections
- Connectivity: 4G, 5G, or Wi-Fi for syncing reports to the cloud (the app also works offline on site)
- Thermal camera: Any thermal imaging camera that exports JPG or radiometric JPG images, including FLIR, Fluke, Hikmicro, Testo, Seek, Workswell, and InfraTec models
You do not need a special camera or proprietary hardware. SnapCor is designed to fit into your existing thermography setup, not replace it.
How to Install the SnapCor App on Android: Step by Step
Installing the SnapCor app takes about three minutes. Here is the full process.
Step 1: Open the Google Play Store on Your Android Device
On your Android tablet or phone, open the Google Play Store. If you are setting up a new work tablet for thermography, sign in with the Google account you want to associate with your SnapCor licence. Many teams use a dedicated work account so that licences and inspection data stay separated from personal accounts.
Step 2: Search for SnapCor
In the Play Store search bar, type SnapCor and look for the listing published by TI Thermal Imaging. The app icon is the orange and red SnapCor crosshair logo on a black background. Make sure you select the correct app, as there are unrelated apps with similar names in the construction and permit space.
You can also go directly to the SnapCor listing using the link from the SnapCor pricing page.
Step 3: Tap Install
Tap Install. The app is lightweight and downloads quickly on most connections. Once it finishes, tap Open to launch SnapCor for the first time.
Step 4: Create Your Account or Sign In
When SnapCor opens, you will be asked to either create a new account or sign in with existing credentials. To start a free trial, tap Sign Up and enter:
- Your full name
- Work email address
- Company name
- A secure password
Verify your email when prompted. Your 14-day free trial starts the moment your account is activated, with no card required upfront. You can review the SnapCor pricing plans at any time from inside the app or on the website.
Step 5: Grant the Necessary Permissions
SnapCor will request a small number of permissions:
- Storage access, so it can import thermal and visual images from your camera or device gallery
- Camera access (optional), if you want to capture visual context shots directly inside the app
- Location (optional), to tag inspections with site coordinates
Grant the permissions you are comfortable with. Storage access is the only one strictly required to import thermal images for reporting.
Step 6: Set Up Your Company Profile and Default Template
Once you are signed in, head to Settings and complete your company profile. This is what will appear on the cover page of every report you generate, so it is worth getting it right the first time:
- Upload your company logo (PNG with transparent background works best)
- Enter your company name, address, and contact details
- Add the thermographer name and certification level (for example, ITC Level 2)
- Select your default report template (electrical, mechanical, building, or solar)
- Set your default reference temperatures (for example, 75°C for BS7671 cable references)
You only need to do this once. Every future report will pull from this profile automatically.
You are now ready to run your first inspection. If you prefer to follow along with a video walkthrough, the team publishes setup and workflow videos on the SnapCor YouTube channel.
Setting Up Your First Inspection in SnapCor
With the app installed and your profile set up, creating your first inspection follows a logical, inspection-led flow.
- Tap New Inspection from the home screen.
- Enter the client and site details, or import a pre-built site list from a spreadsheet if you have one.
- Select the inspection type: Electrical, Mechanical, Building Envelope, Solar PV, or Process / Pipework.
- Choose your camera model so SnapCor reads radiometric data correctly.
- Begin importing thermal images directly from your camera, an SD card, or your device gallery.
As each image imports, SnapCor lets you tag it to an asset, enter measured temperature, ambient temperature, and load, then automatically applies the load correction formula and a fault grade of Minor, Important, Serious, or Critical based on BS7671 reference temperatures. You can override the grade at any point, which matters because, as the team explain in their notes on BS7671 compliance, software supports the thermographer's judgement but does not replace it.
When you are done, tap Generate Report. SnapCor builds a fully formatted PDF in under sixty seconds, ready to email or upload to your client portal before you leave site.
SnapCor Features and Benefits: What You Get After Installing
Installing the app is the easy part. The real value is in what SnapCor does once you start using it. Here are the core features and the benefits each one delivers for a working thermographer.
1. Instant On-Site Report Generation
SnapCor generates a fully formatted, client-ready PDF report from your tablet or phone in around sixty seconds. That includes the cover page, inspection methodology, fault summary, individual fault pages with thermal and visual images, trending data, and remedial recommendations.
Benefit: You can hand the client a finished report before you leave site, eliminating evening and weekend report-writing and freeing up days each month for additional inspections.
2. Automatic Load Correction and BS7671 Fault Grading
Every electrical thermographic finding is run through a load correction formula that takes the measured temperature, ambient temperature, component rating, and actual load in amps, then estimates the temperature the component would reach at full load. That figure is compared to a configurable reference temperature (typically 75°C from BS7671) to produce an objective fault grade.
Benefit: Consistent, defensible fault grading across every inspection and every thermographer in your team. The same fault on the same equipment gets the same grade regardless of who is on site, which makes it far easier to defend findings during a client review or insurance audit.
3. AI-Assisted Annotation and Standardised Remedial Library
SnapCor includes a built-in remedial library covering the common faults found in electrical and building inspections, with AI assistance to draft clear, professional fault descriptions and recommendations. You stay in control: the suggestions are editable, and you can build your own library of preferred remedial language over time.
Benefit: Faster fault page completion and a consistent, professional voice across your reports, even when multiple thermographers are contributing to the same client account.
4. Trending and Data Analytics Across Inspections
For periodic inspections, SnapCor automatically compares current readings against historic data for the same asset, displaying temperature trends in tables and graphs. Measured, ambient, and Delta T values are tracked over time so degradation patterns become obvious well before they cause a failure.
Benefit: A genuine predictive maintenance capability built into your reporting workflow, supporting the same trending approach used in TI Thermal Imaging's WEBCOR campaign management system for enterprise clients.
5. Works With Any Thermal Camera
SnapCor is camera-agnostic. It imports thermal and visual images from FLIR, Fluke, Hikmicro, Testo, Seek, Workswell, InfraTec, and other major manufacturers. There is no need to switch cameras to adopt the app.
Benefit: You keep your existing capital investment in thermal imaging hardware and add a software layer that makes that hardware significantly more productive. Independent guidance from FLIR on choosing thermography software consistently lists camera compatibility as a top selection criterion, and SnapCor is built around it.
6. Configurable Templates and Inspection-Led Layout
The app's interface mirrors the way thermographers already work, walking through assets, faults, temperatures, and remedial actions in a logical sequence. Templates are configurable per inspection type and per client, so you can match in-house formats your enterprise customers already expect.
Benefit: Minimal training time. Thermographers familiar with traditional fault-page reporting can be productive in SnapCor within a single shift.
7. Cloud Sync and Team Dashboards
When you are back online, inspections and reports sync to the cloud, where team leaders can see live status across all active jobs through a central dashboard. Storage is included with each plan, with enterprise clients getting unlimited storage and multi-region hosting options.
Benefit: Visibility for managers, accountability for thermographers, and a single source of truth for every inspection your team has ever delivered.
8. Multi-Site Portfolio Reporting for FM and Enterprise
For facilities management companies and enterprise clients running thermography across many sites, SnapCor supports multi-project management, batch reporting, and white-labelled outputs. Reports can be branded for the end client, with no SnapCor watermark on Pro and Enterprise plans.
Benefit: A single platform that scales from one thermographer with one tablet to a national or international team running hundreds of inspections per month.
9. Compliance and Audit Readiness
Reports are aligned to ISO 18436-7 thermography standards and informed by BS7671 reference values for electrical inspections. Inspection data is timestamped, tied to a specific thermographer and camera, and stored centrally for retrieval during audits.
Benefit: Demonstrable due diligence when a client, insurer, or regulator asks how an inspection was carried out and how findings were graded.
SnapCor vs Traditional Reporting Workflows
To put the value in context, here is how a typical electrical thermography job compares with and without a dedicated reporting app like SnapCor.
OnThe pattern is consistent with what cloud-based reporting platforms like TI Reporter and FLIR Ignite have demonstrated across the wider industry: moving reporting onto the device, on site, dramatically reduces the cost per inspection.
SnapCor Pricing and Free Trial
SnapCor offers three plans designed to scale with your reporting workflow:
- SnapCor Starter for individual thermographers and small projects
- SnapCor Pro for growing teams and businesses
- SnapCor Enterprise for FM companies, oil and gas, data centres, and large multi-site operations
Every new account starts with a 14-day free trial. No card is required to start, and you can cancel any time during the trial. You can compare current plans, features, and storage limits on the SnapCor pricing page.
For camera manufacturers, distributors, and training providers, SnapCor also runs a partner programme covering bundled distribution, reseller licences, and training centre integration. Details are in the SnapCor partner overview on the main site.
Tips for Getting the Most Out of SnapCor
A few practical recommendations from teams already using the app in production:
- Set your reference temperatures before your first job. If you work primarily to BS7671, configure 75°C as your default cable reference once and let the app apply it consistently.
- Build a master site list. Importing assets from an Excel inventory at the start of an inspection saves significant time on multi-site jobs and keeps asset IDs consistent across periodic surveys.
- Use the trending view on every periodic visit. The value of the trending feature compounds with every inspection, so the second and third surveys of a site are where the analytics become genuinely powerful.
- Customise the remedial library. Add your own preferred wording for the faults you see most often. This locks in your professional voice across every report your team produces.
- Train new thermographers on the app from day one. The inspection-led layout means new starters learn the reporting workflow while they learn thermography itself, rather than treating reporting as a separate skill picked up later.
For more practical workflow content, the TICOR thermography blog covers BS7671 reference temperatures, predictive maintenance, and condition monitoring topics relevant to anyone running an electrical thermographic inspection programme.
