  • Works as advertised, wish it had manual temp range
I’ve wanted a thermal camera for ages, and owning this one doesn’t disappoint! It’s so fun to go around your home to find where you could use some insulation, and it could even find things like water leaks for you in the right circumstances. I’ve already spotted a problem area in my attic, as shown in my image. This is my first thermal camera, so I wouldn’t know what to expect in comparison to other models or bigger brand names. Having said that, this one seems great. The refresh rate and IR resolution are killer for the price range, most models I can find from big names are a fraction of the specs of this model. I haven’t exercised all the functions but so far everything is working great. Some things to know that I wasn’t aware of before getting this: 1. It’s pretty large; as far as I know this is totally normal for a thermal camera with these specs, but it surprised me. 2. As other reviewers have mentioned, it takes a bit of time, maybe 10-20 seconds, to turn off and on. More like a computer or cell phone, time-wise, than a simple electronic like a single-reading laser thermometer. 3. The thing I wish the most this thing had is the ability to set a manual temperature range. If something much hotter or colder than what you’re looking at is in your image, subtle differences are harder to see. For example, when I point this at my wall with my smart thermostat, the thermostat is so much warmer than the wall that the temperature fluctuations of the wall itself are harder to see. This camera will automatically set the temperature range based on what is currently in the image, I can’t manually set it to tighten that range so that 15° really stands out next something 17° even if there’s something 30° right next to both of those things. It won’t prevent you from getting the info you need, it would just be really handy. I thought this was a standard thermal camera feature and was ready to fault this model for not having it, but after looking into it, it’s not something that’s guaranteed amongst other cameras I looked at and this model isn’t advertised as having the feature. Something that’s good to know about in advance. Overall I’m happy and will update my review if I notice anything else as I keep using it. ... show more

  • The HT-18+ is an affordable Thermal Camera that every homeowner should have.
HTI thermal cameras have the similar specs to Fluke, FLIR or Klein for a fraction of the price. For the novice user this price difference is what matters most. I use this handy tool sporadically. It has multiple uses, although I have yet try it out on a ghost hunt!! The HT-18+ has a large 256X192 image size that is better than most and it records video! The large 3.2" screen size and 2000mAh battery make it very usable in the field. The 4GB internal storage is plenty. The HT-18+ only connects via USB. No removable SD card or Wi-Fi connection. The "IR Image Tools" Windows software is great for reviewing images (too bad there is no industry standard for Thermal Images). If you are a Pro users you can get it factory re-calibrated every year. ... show more

  • Decent with a few frustrating issues
This camera comes in at an attractive price point. It is pretty accurate and has some useful features such as making video files. The form factor is good although the plastic feels hard and cheap like ABS. The screen is readable indoors but totally washed out in sunlight even at the highest brightness setting (called "Intensity" in the menu). The cable is a micro USB to USB A and appears to be somewhat special. That is, several other similar cables would not connect to a computer even though they would charge. Contrary to another review, I have had no problems accessing the internal storage with a Mac running Ventura 13.1 (22C65). It appears as a FAT32 disk. Now comes the real problem illustrated in the two attached photos. One was taken of the A/C vent at a distance of 10 feet. The other was of a flashlight at a distance of 18 inches. See how bad the parallax is for the flashlight? This can be adjusted. The manufacturer knew it would need to be adjusted frequently since this adjustment is the first menu item. Get used to accessing it. You will use it a lot unless all your images are at about the same distance. Why this happens is shown in the 3rd image. There is approximately 32.5 mm of offset between the optical sensor on top and the IR sensor on the bottom. Too much! I also don't like that the battery is not easily replaceable. It is an 18650 but it is wired to a JST plug. If you are good with soldering, this is no problem. If not, better hope that cell lasts a while. Not having removable storage is a negative. It appears that the firmware for the device is on the same internal storage that images and videos are stored on. Being FAT32, this could become corrupted rendering the device unusable. Last negative is the fact that the quoted temperature span is achieve with two ranges. The high range is very high and would not even be suitable for working under the hood of a car. In summary, the device works and is reasonably accurate but a low price has been achieved by some significant compromises. ... show more

  • This camera gives a better and more consistent image than the 5 other cameras I tested under $330
I evaluated 5 other thermal cameras costing under $330 and found this to give the best and most consistent images, even better than the FLIR cameras for smartphones. The FLIR used with an iPad gave the biggest but not clearest picture. The application I selected this camera for is to examine automobile wiring. The shape and size of the camera makes it handier and easier to use than using smartphone-attached thermal cameras. Also, some hand-held cameras like this one took time-outs to refresh the image every ten seconds, often taking 2-3 seconds between views each time it refreshed. However, this camera gives a constant image with no time-outs, and has a very efficient interface; to take a picture of the image, you click the trigger twice and the image is stored, ready for download to a laptop or desktop system. Handy and effective, I chose this one for use with my new invention. This camera delivers the bang per buck in the $330 and under category. ... show more

  • Great value for the money.
This review is for the 256X192 Higher IR Resolution HT-18+ Handheld Thermal Camera from HTI. I purchased this item on Aug 5, 2024. A big plus for me is that I can (if the need requires) change the battery. There is a cover on the handle that I can remove to get to the battery if it ever needs to be replaced. I don’t know how long rechargeable batteries last. The thermal camera, holster and other supplies are well made. Everything came in a nice box that has a magnetic lid for easy opening and closing, and I decided to keep that box to store my thermal camera in when it’s not in use. The image quality of the monitor is excellent. The button layout is user friendly. I’m a homeowner who is busy insulating my home and the shop that I built and I would definitely recommend this product. ... show more

  • Hardware is good but...
I went to download the software but the software keeps getting flagged with malware during downloading, using two different and popular AV protection software. Very disappointing.

  • Camera already worth its weight in gold after 1 day.
It does everything it says and is exceptionally fair priced. It has endless applications it can be used for other then what it says. My Mercedes key fob was missing and it’s $500 to get new one and huge pain in butt. After hours of looking with no luck I thought what the heck I’ll see if camera could help so I scanned over everything even dogs. In about 5 minutes I scanned over dog and he had a shoe in his mouth and when I scanned over it there was something I could tell in it. I looked in shoe and there was my fob , crazy . If you look close you can see shoe and then you see fob In red in shoe. Camera badass for price, I highly recommend ... show more
