I have my own plumbing company and this works great. I was amazed how it’s been working. It’s made very durable and connects really fast. Instructions are like 3 to 4 pages of short very easy to read and shows you exactly what to do. Its size is perfect and the temperature readings on it are easy to read as well. The video I sent I have it on fuse and iron infrared. It showed me how much water damage was on ceiling and I marked it all out with painters tape. I used my Klein moisture reader behind it as well and made a moisture map of the ceiling to show the insurance companies. If you run hot water on your drains pipes for about 3 to 5 minutes they appear on the thermo camera. I’m just amazed of what it can do. I’ve seen videos on YouTube of people talking bad about this thermo camera but all I can say is they are using it wrong. And no it can’t see through cloths like some people say. I love my TopDon TC005 and thank you Amazon for quick and fast delivery. You delivered when I needed it for a job.

Size: TC005: IR & Visible Camera
I'm bumping my rating up to 4 stars, simply because this device is so reliable and useful despite its shortcomings, which I described in detail in my original review. The 2 star rating was more a reflection of the misleading claims made by the seller (possibly my own misunderstanding of what they are claiming when they say "automatically lock the lowest and highest temperature points") the than the quality of the product, which is very good in my opinion. Its durability was tested when I slipped on ice and threw the thing as I was falling. It landed hard on the asphalt street, which had a couple inches of freshly fallen snow to slightly aid the impact, but I heard it hit the ground about the same time I did like fifteen feet away. I was hurting but I had to go find the camera. I quickly found it still powered on and covered in snow, so I immediately shut it off and brought it inside. After I got it all cleaned up, I couldn't find any damage other than a plastic piece that covers a couple screws was missing. Screen was fine, buttons worked the same, no issues whatsoever after that. I still wish they would update to software to allow you to lock in a specific temperature range, but I've learned to live with it the way it is. One suggestion I have would be to redesign the case so that you put the camera in and take it out by the handle. The way it is now you have to pull it out by the end with the camera and screen. I try to avoid touching those areas so it makes the case kind of useless to me. Maybe just make the case so that it fits in either way, rather than the custom fit. Original 2 star review (unedited): I knock off stars when the manufacturer makes claims about a product that are not true, or it doesn't function like they say. The critical issue I have with the TC005 is that I cannot lock the lowest and highest temperature point which the product description claims it can do. Lacking this one feature significantly reduces the usefulness, because any time you point the camera in a different direction the entire image readjusts to new hot and cold points within the field of view. I waited 7 months to review because I was optimistic that they would have released another firmware update by now to address this. I just checked their website and they have not. I have the latest firmware for my camera (2.3.11) Also the analysis software for Windows is a joke. Video analysis does not work. The documentation makes no sense. It is unfinished beta software. Also my pc would not recognize the device when connecting it to my pc with the supplied usb cable. I tried one of my own cables which also didn't work. I tried another of my own usb cables and my pc recognized the device. Unfortunately the software is so bad that there isn't much reason to connect it other than to transfer images. The infrared sensor itself varies from good to terrible, usually gets worse over time, kind of like it hazes over. There isn't a good way to calibrate it either. There is an "image calibration" procedure that zeroes out all the pixels, removing any burned in gradient or halos that develop (if the calibration is successful. It might take a few tries). However this calibration doesn't calibrate the temperature reading. Usually I'm looking for areas that are hotter or colder than their surroundings as opposed to measuring a precise temperature, so the unreliable temperature isn't that big of a problem, but I wish it was a little better. The device itself is well-made in my opinion. It feels solid, comfortable grip, able to access all buttons easily, and the display is fine. Also no battery issues. In fact I just turned it on for the first time in about a month the battery still has full charge. Since it has a good build quality, maybe there's hope that they will fix the software. Adding the temperature range lock would immediately increase my rating to 4 stars.

Fits impression - More solid than the price suggests. Intuitive user interface makes this IR camera easy to activate and understand. The dual camera function was way handy when correlating IR images with affected areas to customers during inspections. Multiple color schemes are useful during different times of day and lighting conditions. Camera cannot see through windows, but can see things in the sky. This tool is very heat resistant, having been used in primarily in California attics or left in hot cars for a couple of years. The included memory card and battery life was more than sufficient to keep up with a heavy work load. Included charging cable makes this camera easy to charge on the fly. This tool represents huge value, easily outperforming it's price tag. The only aspect I would change is to speed up the operating system.

First let me say that I've had this product for a good while now and have had a chance to fully run it through it's paces. I'm what you would consider an upper level DIYer/ handyman that does jobs for family, friends, and the like. My main purpose for an IR camera is to detect heating and cooling leaks in my house, which is a double wide manufactured home. There are, however, lots and lots of additional tasks in which having this tool comes in extremely useful. I've used it to work on the HVAC of multiple vehicles, detect if components on a circuit board were drawing power when they weren't supposed to be, check the temperature of parts on a high end RC car, check if my home audio receiver was consuming power while in standby mode and much, much more. I seriously didn't think I would find so many uses for this IR camera and I'm very happy with my purchase. It really was money well spent. Previously I was using a laser thermometer and while it did the job(usually), being able to SEE temperatures at a glance has changed the game for me, cutting diagnostic times significantly. If you are on the fence about buying this guy(like I was), don't be! You WILL wish you'd have had it years ago. TOPDON has become one of the go to manufacturers of testing equipment and it's no secret why. The value of their products typically can't be beat. I also own an obdII Bluetooth scanner and it's also top notch and can do things my Innova 5610 can't, and it was 1/4 or less the price! Now I realize that the TOPDON TC005 isn't a "cheap" tool. But consider what you are getting for this price. A VERY full featured IR camera along with the ability to take pictures AND video of anything you're looking at. It automatically shows you the hottest and coldest spot in the frame you're looking at. You can adjust the color scheme to look like you're watching Predator or one of a half dozen other color combinations. One great feature I've only had a small chance to play with is the TDView software for Windows computers. It has a bunch of tools and features not available when using the TC005 in standalone mode. It's not just a screen mirroring app, although I'd does do that as well. I'm sure there are more features I could talk about and could compare it directly to a tool who's name rhymes with beer, but if you're looking to get the most for your money your looking at the right one. I've shared some screenshots I've taken so you can get an idea of the picture quality and I've only charged it once in the almost month I've had it and it gets used at least every other day!

I was skeptical at first, lots of imaging cameras out there that claim to be the best, but this unit works wonderfully. For the money, don't expect anything better. Brands don't matter any more, go with whatever works and is well rated. Professionals use something the rest of us won't pay for occasional use so let's go with that for this unit. I can say it has a lot of options, is well built, and has high enough resolution for anything I'd consider using it for. Works great for finding thermal leaks, hot spots, potential failures in heat exchanges, you name it. Certainly recommend for all those looking for upper end value of entry-level consumer imaging cameras.

The first thing I will say is that this device is pretty big. It is about three times the size of those body temperature reading guns. I got this for my electronic repair projects. I have been wanting to learn and do my own repairs on things like iphones and gaming consoles. This really does help with figuring out if a chip might be damaged. I can power the item on and this gives me a clear reading of what chips may have been blown or damaged. The reading is pretty accurate. The temperature is pretty close so far. It gives you a nice thermal image so you are able to see exactly which one is running hot. It does try to pick up the hottest signature. It will show you what it is reading. You just follow the crosshair. The screen is pretty big so you are not squinting your eyes trying to get a reading. It does also have an LED light if you need to see what you are pointing at. The LED light is not super bright.. It does not really effect the reading of the thermal imaging camera. It is very minimal maybe +0.2-0.3 degrees. The default is Celsius but you can change it to Fahrenheit if needed. The device does take about 30 seconds to full boot up. There is an micro SD card slot and charging port on top. It can take pictures of what you are looking at along with the reading and store it on the micro SD card. It does not come with a micro SD card. I was able to get it to read my 128 gb. I am not sure what the max would be. You can access the micro SD card and charging port by removing the cover. The cover is well sealed. The device is not water proof so be aware of that. The device has a bit of weight to it but you can grip it easily. It also has a mounting screw on the bottom if you have a stand for it. There is also a carrying case you can put this in and put on your belt or sling. The case is well stitched and held closed via velcro. The device came fully charged and lasted for several hours. It takes a few hours to recharge. You can use it while it is being charged but it is a bit awkward. For the most part, the user interface is easy to follow. You have to hold the power button or flash light button to turn it on. All the settings are pretty easy to navigate BUT the instruction manual could be better at explaining certain functions. You are able to take a picture. You just need to pull the trigger on the device and it will capture what it is looking like. It is just a screen shot. It is nothing fancy nor does it need to be extreme high resolution. The device does attract dirt and sand. It is hard to get off. The screen is nice but it is prone to scratches. It does not record any sound or anything which is fine (no real reason to). It is great for finding the hotspot. Overall this is a good device. I am pretty happy with how the device works and perform. It definitely helped me with my phone repairs and console repairs. It helped me find those defective chips that may be blown. It is pretty accurate in terms of reading even with the flash light pointing. It is a BIG device and it is pretty long lasting. The screen is decent size. The only thing I will say is that the instruction manual needs work. It could do a better job explaining.
