Abstract: The present invention relates to a structural defect detection and health monitoring apparatus (1) for detecting, analysing and monitoring structural cracks in buildings. The apparatus comprises a control unit (11), a thermal imaging unit (21), an IoT sensing module (31), a location module (41), a user interface module (51) including an operating switch (52) and a display (53), a power supply unit (61), a communication module (71), and a data storage module (81). The thermal imaging unit (21) captures thermal images of a building surface, while the IoT sensing module (31) acquires structural condition data for identifying crack characteristics including width, depth and severity. The processed inspection data is associated with location information, stored in the data storage module (81), displayed to the user, and wirelessly transmitted through the communication module (71) to a remote cloud platform or user device for structural health monitoring, analysis and predictive maintenance.
