Pretty clear image. Works seamlessly with iPhone 14. A bit difficult to keep your hand out of the way Sometimes the cord is needed.

Got this to check out hot abd cold spots around my home. It works well with my iphone and ipad. I just plugged it into my phone and it automatically asked to download the app. Nice to bot have to search through the app store for it. It works very well, the image is clear. You can change the colors of the hot and cold spots to help you see. It also tells you the temperature of various spots. This was also great for locating my outdoor cats on my rural property. In the dark they glow so you can find animals very easy. This is a fair price for a decent thermal camera, recommend this.

Setting up this thermal camera for my iPhone was quick and uneventful: the instructions have a QR code linking to the app, and the app installs real quick. Once the camera is attached to the phone, it all works with no fuss. The features in the app are quite extensive: can take pictures, or make a video, or use a monitoring mode and get graphs of temperature; can save all data on the phone or to your cloud space; can export data to Excel. I really like that the app offers calibration support, and the instructions provide a table of “Emissivity” values for different types of materials / surfaces that can be input in the app for improving temperature readings accuracy. This device plus app packs capabilities one could only have dreamt of even a few years ago at this price point, for a non-professional device.The camera is compact and relatively lightweight. The picture quality is reasonably good, with plenty of detail to troubleshoot heat leaks and such. I am using an Otter case on my phone and the connector on this camera does no reach far enough, I have to use the included extension cable that does work with this phone case opening.The instructions are well organized, brief and to the point. Technical specs are provided, but the description of functionalities is not exhaustive. Still, navigating through the menus is easy and intuitive.This thermal camera is excellent for reading surface temperatures and identifying heat leaks. There are limitations due to the resolution and either the sensor latency or refresh rate, or maybe both make the videos less than fluid, to say the least. Again, limitations, not defects.One notable aspect in the privacy policy and terms and conditions of use: these state that the usage and disclosure of data is subject to China’s laws. The app can collect quite a bit of data and associate it with possibly identifiable personal info, so having the disclosure of such data subject to a foreign state’s laws is something I am not happy about. I appreciate the policy write-up being up-front about it, still I would have preferred compliance to local laws. I will not factor this into my rating, it may be more or less relevant to other people, so I will leave it up to you to decide the degree by which this is a negative to the overall rating.

I received a thermal camera for iOS and that is intended for use with either an iPhone or iPad. The camera came in a padded zippered case, and was accompanied by a printed user manual, a lightning extension cable, and a cleaning cloth, which was nice. This is the first thermal camera that I have tried, so will be providing my first impressions, rather than a detailed analysis. The camera that I received needs to be plugged into the lightning port on a device, and also requires the installation of an app that can be downloaded from the app store. The lightning port is slowly being discontinued on iPhones and is no longer present on new iPads, so this is an important consideration if you are considering this item. I successfully installed the app on both a 1st generation iphone SE (2016) and a 1st generation iPad Air (2013), both of which are fairly old devices. I found the app and camera worked fine on both devices, but the image lagged a bit on my old iPad Air, likely due to its older processor. I initially started the app, which prompted me to plug in the thermal camera, which I did. The camera was recognized quickly, and an image appeared on my device screen displaying a coloured representation of the infrared emissions from items in the thermal camera’s field of view. I tested the camera by viewing many items around my house, and found that it worked well to display temperature differences. I could clearly see regions of walls which were cooler, suggesting areas of lower insulation. I found it interesting that it could located drywall screws on outside walls, as they efficiently conduct colder temperatures into the house through the drywall. I like that there is a small screen-centered pointer that displays the temperature of the item beneath it. The software also highlights adjacent points of interest on the screen that have large temperature differences. Users might be put off by the relatively low resolution of the images produced compared to regular cameras. But from what I understand, this is fairly typical of thermal cameras unless you are willing to spend large sums of money on sophisticated equipment. As far as I was concerned, the resolutions was reasonably good, and was sufficient to easily identify larger objects at a distance, and could localize smaller items such as the heads on drywall screws if the camera was held sufficiently close to the item. The app can be used to take photos or to initiate continuous temperature monitoring of an object, and will even generate graphs of temperature changes over time. Overall, this thermal camera worked well and provided me all the tools and information that I would require of a thermal camera. I can recommend it, but look forward to a more modern version that can be used with a USB-C port, to be used with both iOS and Android devices.

This thing is a marvel of design and design. It is a thermal camera (think the Predator movies) that is so small it is no wider nor thicker than an encased iPhone.Once the app is installed and running, using it is dead simple and takes pictures you can easily share, save locally, or send online.I docked a star from it for 2 simple reasons: Using a lightning connector for a device makes no sense with the wider and wider adoption of the USB-C standard.Furthermore, the documentation and QR codes printed on them does not lead to the app itself, or it requires to jump through more hoops than we could figure out. We ended up searching them app store for "FoxWell", the manufacturer's name and we found the FoxIR app.We installed in on an old iPad Air 2, as it was the only Lightning-connected device we had left.

At the time of writing this review, this thermal camera attachment costs $499.99.I got this thermal camera to make my life a little bit easier at work. Instead of carrying a huge camera, I can easily tuck this in its protective case inside my tool pack out.This camera provides some high resolution thermal imaging, something very impressive considering the size. The camera provides a 256x192 thermal chip resolution, giving surprising clarity when taking pictures and viewing videos. It allows me to see fine details like conductors and screws so I can more easily troubleshoot hot spots in electrical equipment.One of the best features is that, for most of my day to day work the primary lower temperature range works. However, I have hot process pipes (hydrogen lines) that are almost 650f, and without changing anything I can accurately test within that range.My personal phone is a Samsung. I tried to use this on my phone with the Android FoxIR app and a Lightning to USBC adaptor and it did not work, buyer beware. However, my work phone, which I will use this with primarily, is an iphone 13. It works perfectly. The app didn't require any sign up, which I love. You download the app, plug in the camera, and it just works - and quickly.The app is easy to install, easy to use and easy to navigate. It relies on icons to navigate, so it takes a little time to figure out where everything is in the app. With that being said, it only took around 10 minutes to find out where all the important information is, like emissivity, range, pictures, videos and color.At $500, it's a bit pricey. There's cheaper IR cameras, but they definitely are not as good in terms of quality or clarity. I would put this in the middle between High and Low End. This is what I would call "professional grade". Not quite expert, but I will be using this on a professional level, and I will also be using it for side electrical and HVAC jobs. This will easily pay for itself in a few jobs.I already got to use it on a cold pipe on my mother in laws house where I found that a piece of heat trace had failed. It was very easy to see the cold spot, and made it so I only have to roll back 3 feet of insulation and splice 5 feet of trace, instead of rolling the whole thing back and installing all new trace. Save a little bit of money and A LOT of time.5/5 stars.

Having used a high-tech thermal imaging camera during my career, I've always wanted one for around the house. When I saw this one, I grabbed it and brought it home.I love the compact size and solid construction. It comes with a cord that allows you to use the camera separately from the iPhone, but I prefer to use it attached. Balancing the phone, camera, and photo controls quickly becomes tedious. The company also supplies a lens cleaning cloth and a sturdy zippered storage case.The user manual could be more helpful, but the app is easy to navigate and clearly shows how to use the various functions. To demonstrate the device's capabilities, I took a photo of the heat vent and my cat. The images turned out great and are stored with the app rather than with my photos. I'd prefer the latter, but I can live with the arrangement as it is now.I encountered a couple of quirks to be aware of when using the camera.1. Wait to connect the camera to the phone until the app starts and asks you to do so. Otherwise, the camera doesn't start.2. When you share the images, you can only share one at a time, which is a bit of a pain.Note: This camera has an Apple Lightning connector. If you have a USB-C connection, you'll need to buy a converter.Other cool capabilities include taking videos and generating reports. I have yet to use either function, but I look forward to doing so soon.I plan to use the camera to locate leaks in my exterior walls around windows, doors, and other penetrations. That will allow me to patch the leaks strategically. I also plan to use it to test the heat output of the furnace and other heating appliances. I also want to help friends and neighbors spot energy-robbing leaks in their homes. Finally, if I ever get a chance to search for cryptids, I am ready to record the evidence with my thermal camera.
