  • Excellent product
Color: Blue
Things and excellent product and is essentially plug and play once you download the app. My android phone recognizes the unit when I plug it into the USB C port and the app opens. It works fantastically with clear and high resolution live video on your phone. A firent purchased a stand alone unit thst cost more, and he was jealous of thisnunit because his had a small screen and didn't allow recording of video. I was amazed to see how long the heat signature of your footprints last walking barefoot over different surfaces. This unit could even detect my footprints when walking on carpet wearing croc's. ... show more

  • Works great on my Samsung Galaxy S22 Plus.
Color: Blue
The app for Android was very easy to find in the Google app store, just search for TC0001 to find it. The first time I plugged the IR camera into my phone, it asked if I wanted to auto launch the app Everytime I connect the camera, I selected yes so I don't even need to pin the app to my homepage, just plug the camera in and it opens the app. The app is also pretty easy to use and figure out the options on it. It can display in both ⁰C or ⁰F by changing settings in the app. The camera does work very well. I was even able to see the warm spot in the wall behind the hot water pipe for my water heater. And see how hot a battery charger was getting. The response rate on the camera is also impressive as well as the resolution of the pictures. So far I have only used it from about 18 inches away to over 20 feet away and it works great. I have not yet tested it for very close up pics, like on a circuit board. I also like that it comes with a USB cable that is USB C male on one end and USB C female on the other, with an adapter to USB A male so you can use a single cable to connect the camera to a phone or a PC. You could plug the camera directly into you phone, assuming you either don't have a case on your phone, or a very thin case. The only down side to the cable it comes with is it is a bit too long if you just need to use it to connect to your phone so you don't have to remove any case you might have, which makes it a little hard to hold both your phone and the camera in one hand. Although I did also buy a short 5 inch just USB C male to female cable that also works with the camera and makes it easy to use one handed. Overall I am impressed with it and it was worth the money. ... show more

  • Very good for the money! Works well with PC, Raspberry Pi, and YOLO AI object detection as well.
Color: Grey
Good picture especially for the money. Works with a desktop PC and a Raspberry Pi. I used a Pi 4. The YOLO AI model also works with the picture from this unit better than I expected.

  • Better price and better resolution than the competition... App could use some work.
Color: Blue
The media could not be loaded. I'm a wildlife biologist that intends to use this to help find bat roosts. I tested it in my yard (see video) in pitch dark on the local deer mice. They were easily distinguished from the background. I hope it works as well on bats, though that would be from a farther distance than what is in the video. Hope to test that soon. I was also able to distinguish small sparrows from about 10 meters away during the day, even when they were camouflaged in the brush and not easily seen with the naked eye. If this thermal camera can see sparrows, whose feathers tend to mask some of their infrared signature, it should be able to see bats from at least that same distance. As for the app,... It could use some minor upgrades. First and foremost, when shooting video, it doesn't record audio, so you can't narrate what is being filmed to help with ID later. This would be important for any use case. Second, it would be nice to be able to "lock" the color spectrum to temperature. When you shift the camera, the colors change based on the overall scene in view. Third, the images and video are not saved to the phone's regular gallery app and need to be exported one at a time to share them. A few other nit-picks that you can read on the TC001 App in the App store that others have mentioned. A few years ago, I had the Flir thermal camera for Android. I returned it due to its low resolution and high price. I didn't feel that it was a good value. I'll probably keep this camera, especially if they fix some of the issues with the phone app, as for the price, it's a pretty good product. *EDIT - 01-05-2023* Someone asked a question about functional images of walls, ceilings, baseboards, etc., so I've added some photos from around the house. I live in a mobile home with really bad insulation, so you can definitely see all the places that heat leaks. I had the furnace on when I took these photos and can see where the HVAC system is leaking. One shot is of a wall where you can see my blackout curtains are warm as well as my Starlink Router (84°) and some LED lightbulbs. You can also see where the studs are within the walls. Another photo shows the ceiling vent for my furnace and you can see the direction the HVAC vents run behind the ceiling. Another photo of the ceiling shows where the ceiling joists are located as well as heat leaks where the two-halves of the mobile home were connected together. The photo taken outside shows heat leaking from single-paned windows as well as the HVAC closet that houses the furnace and hot water heater. The vent on the roof shows 91° and you can see heat leaking out of the HVAC closet from above the doors (they don't close all the way). Electrical panel is on the far right of the home in that photo (also warm). Hope that helps with the person who wanted "functional" photos. ... show more
