    Nice little thermal camera

    This is a nice little thermal camera, however it heats up your phone. Plus battery drain is real. You can not use with a case on your phone . Also the little camera comes out of the port easily, so I had to use a rubber band to hold it on as I was walking around with it. I use this for ghost hunting and seems to work well.

    OK. While it is not a cheap product, I was still skeptical that it would not work as promised. But it does. I bought if for my teenage son and it is a lot of fun. Can also use it to detect leaks and wires behind a wall. So you can rationalize spending the money on it to the missus.

    I ghost hunt and this is an amazing piece to add to my equipment! The only downside is you can not use a case to use a case and it makes my phone extremely hot. But the images are magnificent!

    Great starter thermal camera

    It's not bad, I can't seem to focus the camera as good as the tutorials get it. I also thought that it would pick up heat sources through walls but not quite. If it's not on or affecting the surface it won't pick it up. Other than those 2 cons, it's great. It picks up water spots/intrusions and it has built in thermometers that make my laser thermometer obsolete. It's in my eyes a starter thermal camera and for the price it is a great start. Will probably invest into better ones in the future.

    Bought this for my new home to look for thermal leaks. It worked very well, range was good, accuracy was also very good. And it's a lot of fun to use too.

    Not quite pro quality but it gets the job done. Used it to find a faulty breaker. It is also fun to just look around with and take interesting pictures.

    Cool, but maybe not quite there yet because the app doesn't always register the camera is plugged in.

    This thermal camera gives you the features if a profesional one by a fraction of the price. It works great and very easy to use. Only thing was that it was a little sensitive for electronics thermal dissipation monitoring applications, which is why I bought it.

    This gave me a good feel for what needed to be fixed in my home. I was able to tell where I was losing heat or where there were drafts that could not be felt.

    This is a great tool for finding hot/cold spots in the house to better aim HVAC vents. Also great for finding leaks in the summer/winter and finding hot and hold spots on an engine. So many uses!

    Great tool for air sealing/home energy savings

    Bought this to work on some home energy savings through air sealing, insulation improvement etc. The otterbox version was cheaper and you can use it without...great way to get the same device cheaper. Overall it works pretty well and allowed me to locate some deficiencies and cold spots due to missing or damaged weatherstripping, caulking, etc. My only complaint would be resolution leaves a bit to be desired and some competing brands use a hybrid image which may be a bit better.

    Temp estimates biased when ambient temp is high

    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    Overall, it's a great deal. I use the IR cam with their official app. Under normal use, the app can correctly detect my face temperature. However, when I used it in my car under the sun and the back seat has a very high temp, the readings seemed to have been biased, and the temp readings on my face was incorrect. Not sure if it's due to the auto-adjust functionality of the hardware, or it's an app issue.
