Abstract
A smart phone user captures video and still images of a motor and makes a sound recording of his observations. The images and recordings are tagged with a date/time stamp, a serial number, bar code, matrix code, RFID code, or geolocation and sent wirelessly to an infrared camera. The infrared camera has a collocation application that reads the tag and creates a folder which holds the infrared image and the auxiliary information from the smartphone related to an asset. The collocation program also adds icons to the infrared image. By operating the user interface (not shown) of the infrared camera, the user may select an icon to view the images and listen to the sound recording.
