Extech VPC300 Video Particle Counter with Built-In Camera
Product Details
Every other particle counter tells you the numbers. The VPC300 shows you what's actually in the air.
The Extech VPC300 is the only portable particle counter in its class with a built-in camera — capturing synchronized video and photo documentation alongside real-time particle data. For remediation contractors, industrial hygienists, healthcare construction teams, and air quality investigators, that combination eliminates the gap between what the meter reads and what the site looks like when it reads it.
Six particle channels. Temperature. Humidity. Dew point. Wet bulb. Live video. All in a hand-held unit that weighs 1.26 lbs.
Who Needs the VPC300
Purpose-built for environments where airborne particulates are a production, safety, or compliance concern:
- Abatement & remediation contractors — document pre- and post-clearance particle counts with visual evidence attached
- Healthcare construction & ICRA compliance — verify containment effectiveness with logged, timestamped data
- Industrial hygienists & environmental consultants — simultaneous multi-channel data capture with on-site video record
- Industrial facilities — diesel exhaust, metallurgy, cement, power generation, and agroindustrial particulate monitoring
- Indoor air quality investigations — comprehensive particle sizing with environmental context
What Makes the VPC300 Different
📹 Built-In Camera — Video & Photo, Synchronized With Your Data
The 320×240-pixel camera records video (3GP) and photos (JPEG) directly to 74MB internal memory — no separate device, no trying to match timestamps after the fact. Capture what the containment zone actually looks like while the meter is logging. Use the included PC software to generate full reports with videos, photos, and particle data combined in a single deliverable. Up to 20 minutes of video and 5,000 data records stored on-device. Expand storage up to 8GB with a microSD card (not included).
📊 6-Channel Simultaneous Particle Sizing — Down to 0.3 μm
Simultaneously measures and displays particle concentrations across six size channels: 0.3, 0.5, 1.0, 2.5, 5.0, and 10.0 μm — the full range from the most penetrating fine particles through coarse dust. Three count modes — Cumulative, Differential, and Concentration — give you the flexibility to report data the way your application requires. Flow rate is 0.1 ft³/min (2.83 L/min), controlled by an internal pump.
🌡️ Environmental Context Built In
Particle data without environmental context is incomplete. The VPC300 simultaneously logs:
- Air Temperature: −14 to 140°F (−25 to 60°C), accuracy ±2°F/1°C
- Relative Humidity: 0–100% RH, accuracy ±3% RH (40–60% RH range)
- Dew Point & Wet Bulb: 32–122°F (0–50°C)
All stored with every particle record — so your data tells the full environmental story, not just the particle count.
📁 5,000-Record Storage + Report-Ready Data Export
Each stored record includes date, time, particle counts, humidity, temperature, sample volume, and a location label. Download everything via Mini-USB to the included PC software and generate professional reports with data, photos, and video in one package. CSV-compatible for integration into your own reporting workflows.
🔬 NIST-Traceable Calibration — Right Out of the Box
The VPC300 ships with a NIST-traceable calibration certificate. No sending it out before first use, no calibration uncertainty on day one. For contractors and consultants whose clearance reports need to hold up to scrutiny, that matters.
🎥 Tripod Mount for Unattended Continuous Monitoring
Mount it, walk away. The built-in tripod mount lets you set the VPC300 to monitor a containment zone continuously — programmable sample time, selectable count data, and a programmable delay for unattended operation. Frees your crew to work while the meter runs.
