FLIR ONE Pro - Thermal Imaging Camera for iOS Smartphones (iPhone 14 and Older w/Lightning Port), 320x240 Super Resolution (160x120 Native IR)

Great product! I have a ceiling that leaks when there are heavy winds and rain. I wanted to see if this would pick up the path of the leak. I think it’s coming from shotty siding on the outside above the Bay window. I have an older house (that is very well built) and felt I needed this product for preventative maintenance. (update: 19JULY2021, today we had very heavy rain and winds. The ceiling leaked overnight. I have ruled out the bay window and the outside siding. I now believe the leak is coming from a plumbing vent pipe and the wind is thrashing a damage roof boot and rain is leaking under the flashing and traveling down the pipe, because it puddles in the same area.)This product does everything I need it to do and more. If you have moisture build-up it’s going to cause a leak. This device can find moisture in the walls because, moisture holds on to heat longer and will show up along the electromagnetic spectrum (actual radiated heat!) at a different surface temp than the drier portions of wall/ceiling around it.The Pro version comes with a thermal sensor and a camera that simultaneously takes a photo of the visible light and then processes both thermal and image together making it (not technically, but functionally)1. High resolution (for at least 3m from what I’ve gathered so far)2. For the distance (at least 3m I’ve tested), it’s pretty much Hyper-spectral! Because of the spectral range comparing temperature variations.It’s a heat map. Everyone loves heat maps.The only thing better than this would be to Buy the FLIR Drone! Because why not? I don’t have the money, or I would have.NOTE: I did receive a used device. There were pictures loaded from April 2020. So it must have been a returned item. There was nothing wrong with the item, and I kept it. It is an expensive product, for what it is. Although extremely cool and valuable at times, it makes life easier, it’s limited to vague diagnosis. It’s never happened before through Amazon. So I thought I should mention it here.

Thrilled with the performance of this camera using the free flir app (also excellent) on android. I do electronic ckt and PCB design and primarily use it with my phone (pixel 3A) to image PCBs for thermal analysis. It views in real time and optionally detects the hottest (and/or coldest) spot, and can also be configured with a few other (reposition-able) spots to report the specific temperatures at those points. Displayed temp values update very rapidly (seems around 10 times per sec or so). Saved images are saved as readily viewable .JPG files, but those files also invisibly include all the thermal data for every pixel in the image. These images can be further analyzed on a PC using the "FLIR tools" app (downloaded free from FLIR). In that app the image color scheme and range can be scaled/changed. You can display spot temps, average or peak or minimum temps within user defined regions.I generally use the camera at a distance of around 6 inches and get fine results. The only downside I've noticed when using it that close is that the optical image overlay on the thermal image does not align very well, so I just disable that feature.Quick start usage guide (for android):Charge the camera. (must be charged using it's USB-C charging jack - does not get charged at all from phone)Download/install the Flir phone app on google play.Optionally download Flir Tools (PC app) from FLIR website. Camera works without this, but allows later analysis of saved images. You might need to provide your proof of purchase details to download.Before plugging the (charged) camera into the phone, first turn it on by pressing the button on bottom of camera. LED in button will light. Not sure if this is just with mine, but the button doesn't seem to depress when pushed, but just the pressure of my finger on the button turns it on.Once on, now plug it onto the phone. Note that the knob behind the USB plug can be turned to adjust the length of the plug to fit a recessed USB port due to a phone case.The (previously downloaded) app should automatically start within a few secs of when the camera is plugged in. If it doesn't automatically start, open the app directly.The camera views the scene in real time, and snapshot images are saved to your phone just as normal photos. They can be transferred (as JPG) to your PC via the normal methods (email, USB, etc) where they can be further viewed, analyzed, printed using the Flir Tools app.
