Style: IR101 Grey fit for Android (USB C Port)
Frankly, this thing is a riot. It’s made for Windows and Android, so I was basically out of luck with macOS—but since I work in a department full of laptops, that wasn’t a dealbreaker. We recently had a heat advisory committee planning to assess high-risk areas in our park system down here in the Deep South, and I was able to Velcro this to the back of a laptop and walk around getting some solid thermal images of problem spots. To take it a step further, I connected a regular webcam to the same laptop for a real-time non-thermal view. That let me grab screenshots and provide side-by-side visuals for the committee’s report. I thought it was a handy way to set it up with a laptop. I’ve also used this around my house to spot areas of heat gain and loss, which helped me find and fix insulation issues. It’s really easy to use—probably even easier on an Android phone. I’ve used other thermal cameras before, and these are definitely getting better over time. The software on this one is actually pretty good. I like that it marks floating high and low temps right on the image. Still not sure why thermal imagers are so expensive across the board, but the size and portability of this one are awesome. It’s tiny, comes with a nice case and a cable, and it’s small enough that you could easily lose it if it wasn’t packed up well. All in all, I think it’s a great little device. The images I’ve captured with it are going to help keep people safer in extreme heat, and that alone makes it worth it.

Style: IR101 Grey fit for Android (USB C Port)
This is working well for me so far. Using the app is easy to find, download and use, and it shows real time temps in a variety of ways on the image. It is very similar to the Topdon model I have. I'm very glad this comes with a USB-C extension cable. The USB-C connector on the camera itself is too short to connect through the case I have on my camera. I wish it was longer so I wouldn't need the cable, and some companies make that length longer or adjustable. Be sure to use auto range or set the high or low range as needed. The image can look noisy if you are in the wrong temp range. One feature I still don't undestand is "bandwidth" - I know what bandwidth is, but I don't understand the context for the sliding bandwidth setting they say to use if the image looks noisy. The bandwidth of what? The camera? The cable? The USB protocoll? My phone? I have no idea. An odd and annoying thing this shares with some other devices I have that let you take pictures with an external device: the images don't automatically show up in the Photos app. I don't even know where they live. AFAIK, you have to use the "share" feature to get them out of that image prison so you can see them in the photo app. Not sure why that is, or if there is a way to see them with the Photos app without using "share".

I previously worked for Fluke, which produces a full array of infrared handheld devices to compete with FLIR. These devices range from $3k - $25k and are built for professional use, with the prices to match. What Ancel is able to offer in a $300 device is pretty amazing. While people may quibble with temperature accuracy of +/-2° C, that's missing the point. What this device is able to do is to clearly portray differences in temperature over a wide area. That's what is amazingly helpful. I have a few water spots on my ceiling that I was wondering whether they were active leaks or something that I have just never noticed before. I took out this device and BEHOLD - no temperature difference (the area is dry/no water). What a relief! This device is not only saving me mental anguish, but also making short work of determining what is and isn't a problem. Now I can repaint without worry. A few things to note: 1) Tablet usage: I used this device on an Android tablet with the app installed, as I'm an Apple phone user. On a tablet with a large screen, I couldn't perfectly synch the camera and the thermal image overlay. The camera image was never able to overlay my thermal image exactly, but rather just showed up in the upper left corner of the thermal image. Not a dealbreaker, but if it could be calibrated to overlay cleanly, it would improve the user experience. 2) UI: The user interface is pretty basic and not "Apple simple". Lots of menus and sub-menus, but I was able to get it up and running after a few minutes of messing around with it. 3) Image: The closer you are to the emitting object, the better the resolution. I wasn't able to get anything that wasn't pretty pixelated, but for my purposes it didn't matter. I was just looking for area coverage. Some of the images I'm seeing in reviews are pretty amazing, so it may be an issue of the app being designed for smaller phone screens and just not looking great once they're expanded to fit a large tablet screen. In summation, a great IR sensor for the money that worked extremely well for me and I would recommend to anyone. You should have this device in your home to find hot and cold spots for safety and thermal efficiency reasons.

First off, the good (and great). This camera is better than my standalone unit with it's own dedicated screen as far as image quality and temperature accuracy. You might need to calibrate it per the instructions the first time you use it but it holds calibration really well and is very accurate. The resolution is great, fidelity to tell what exactly is leaking heat or cold. As far as the actual functions of the thermal camera this would be 5/5. The not so good: The usb c plug doesnt stay in well on my phone. first of all you have to remove your case because it needs to be really in there (it should have a little more depth built in I think) and then when it is in it wiggles slightly and loses connection a lot during use. I actually ended up using the extension cable even on my phone for a better experience but then you are carrying around 2 "devices" attached by a cord so that's not ideal either. It would be great if this had an adjustable clamp that clamps the camera to the bottom of the phone somehow and keeps the connection more stable.

I just moved into a new place and wanted to check for insulation missing in the walls. In my first photo you can see a spot where I found missing insulation around the window. It would have been a very manual process, crawling in the attic to find these spots. The UI is pretty easy, and installing the device was super easy. I have tried a different brand of IR camera, and the device would not fit on my phone with a case. This IR camera comes with an extension cord that makes it super easy to plugin and get working. The device feels solid and well made. It comes with the perfect carrying case that forms to the odd shape of the device. The photos for this device showed an image of a dog. I have included a photo of my dogs so you can see the comparison. This device will come in handy as I fix up the house and figure out all those spots that are leaking AC / Heat. Super happy with this device!

The camera itself fits in the palm of your hand and then connects via USB cable to your device. I can confirm that this works immediately with a PC, or a Laptop that runs windows. You just install the APP and it pretty much instantly works. There's all sorts of features and settings to tinker around with, you can "visually" see the heat in the IR cam and then it points out hot spots and you can display temp in "C" or "F". The distance can go across a small room, but this can't really be used as portable IR scope to scan a landscape at night to see heat signatures. You can use this to check temperatures which is convenient if evaluating hot spots or even distribution of heat. After playing with this a bunch the camera only got mildly hot. I like that you can capture photos and video and the APP is straight forward to use.

I've been using this Ancel IR101 Thermal camera with my Samsung 23 for a little over a month now and love it! I use it for work checking for leaks in ceilings and behind walls like the shower. Its very easy to set up, comes with a nice small compact carrying case that i keep in my door panel for when I need it. The picture quality is great with very little frame stutters. The device itself seems to be built very well and doesn't feel cheap. Ancel is a great company that makes great products that I've used in the past. Also, I almost forgot to mention the battery life is surprisingly very good! I've only had to charge it two times in the last 6 weeks while using it several times almost everyday. Anyone looking for a great quality, compact Thermal camera, this is defiantly the one to get! Highly recommend!

Even though the listing said that this is for android or PC, I was hoping that it would work with my iPhone since it has a USB-C port and there is an Ancel IR thermal camera app in the iOS App Store. Unfortunately, it just did not work on my iPhone. Even though I tried plugging in the device multiple times both ways, it never got past the insert device screen in the iOS app (see screenshot). My original plan was to try it on my PC if it did not work on iOS, but I did not feel comfortable installing the unverified software. Based on the other reviews I’ve seen here, it looks like a great tool. I’m hopeful that they create a version that works with my os.
