This price is almost the norm so there's no need to rush into this.

I have this micro usb version with my Samsung S9+ and it works fine.
The bad reviews in the app store might be compatibility issue. The same App for multiple versions of the camera make it hard to tell.

The USB C version says: FLIR one Android sub c models are not currently compatible with snapdragon 835/845 based Android sub c handsets

So, I bought this micro usb version to use with my USB C phone. It does work!
I really would have preferred the USB C model to be more future proof though.
I have used this to find leaks in my AC ducts and it worked! It also shows me where I should probably wrap my ducts more because of the cold leaking out.
I have also used it to find my pets in the dark Big Grin
It also shows me where my carpet might be wet because of my pets -_-

There's a lot of uses and I have only scratched the surface.

The resolution isn't great so don't expect something out of the movies. Imagine colorful blurs. You can take a thermal picture with the app and within the app, Then, you can hide the thermal colors to show the picture under it. Using this method, you can determine where the colors were coming from.
It auto adjusts the range, but you can also set a range. For example, to find the ac leaks, I set it low so that everything in the attic was bright yellow (warm to hot) and the blue shadows (colder) were the leaks. If it were auto, the ducts would be moderately bright and everything else would be darker, the blue shadows would be harder to find.
I think it would make finding a literal needle in a haystack doable! But then, a magnet might work better. You need the right tool for the job!
This is useless without the app, and the app has shitty reviews, therefore this device is functionally shitty. It doesn't really matter if it's physically very good if you can't use it.

This is a true statement, worse then this there is an issue with the battery discharging on these and damaging a cell. Well documented online, denied by flir. I recommend doing a search on the battery issue of this prior to purchase.

where is your neighborhood. it wont survive there a night.

Quote from twostepopper :
Adorama has been trying to dump these for at least the past year... They keep showing up again and again.

Past SD comments rated this a poor product. Hard pass.
great company. i paid $160 and when this one popped up, i contacted them for an easy $10 refund.


$150 for this device is the cheapest you can get for this kind of tech.
worked great for my purpose. i dont see why they complained about this low res. it serves its purpose. worked like it advertised. you can see something glowing at the areas where you need to see most. no need to see 1080p res for what you are looking for.

Quote from Mr_Spiffy :
The app isn't a great design, but it's good enough for basic use. I haven't had any issues with it myself. I bought one of these to inspect my house for hot/cold spots that need insulation.

There's also the desktop computer app, which can be used for analyzing photos transferred from your mobile device.

Resolution is pretty low, but that's a common thing with thermal cameras. Don't expect to get 20MP images from this thing. But it's decent enough for identifying issues. It is not, however, a high-end pro thermal camera. Add a zero or two onto the price for something in that tier.

I particularly like the image format that highlights edges of objects so you can still tell what you're looking at.

Just so you know, resolution and frame rate are a government limitation on the tech restricted for military/etc

I was really tempted, but good call on the poor quality app. If I can't rely on them to keep up with the app development, I'm not going to buy the device. They really should have an open protocol so someone out there makes an app that works well.

Well, you asked how to actually "see" the wires. To actually physically see the wires, the drywall needs to be removed. That being said, there are various types of detectors that can pick up a signal and trace a wire through drywall. You can Google and read or watch videos about them for days if so inclined. Back in the day, some of the old guys would even use an AM radio, switch it to static, and run it along the wall to trace the wire.

i haven't actually tried the thing, and there are lots of mixed reviews (which a lot seem like user error on Amazon, but i'm sure they over advertise its ability as well; like concrete and similar, i'm sure it's useless there)... but the Walabot DIY could perhaps do what you want in a sheetrock wall.
hell, even if it doesn't, just try it and return to Amazon Wink

If you want to look at one section, I'd go with a small hole and a cheap borescope. Probably not what you're looking for, but better than a hammer. For larger section a thermal camera would only see where the wall heats up if the wire were undersized, aka a fire risk. Long story short, I don't know.

Quote from lifeatragedy :
I would get this just to film myself farting
Unfortunately it sees through air. The most you'd see is your pants change color a little bit, looking like you just shit your pants red. I believe to actually see a warm fart you'd need some combination of a thermal camera and Schlieren optics. I don't actually know. There's a good chance it would be an expensive setup that fails to see an invisible fart.

Thanks for the reply this is what I was trying to understand. I guess my word see was a bit to transparent but I was relying on folks understanding my intention rather than taking it literally

Maybe my use case would help...I have 18ft ceiling going from 1st floor to attic and I know 2 coax wires go from attic all the way down. I want to use those wires to back pull speaker and ethernet cable. The issue is when I pull the wire from either end it doesn't want to budge so I am guessing it ain't going straight up and down. If anything will help trace the path then I can basically open very small spots along the way to guide the new wire through. Idea is to pull up one of the coax and pull up the additional speaker, ethernet and new coax

I think that generally Flir as a company .


I own the Lorex cameras and the hardware inside the camera is great. The software inside the NVR and the app are horrific. I cannot stand them.

Why can't a Chinese company make a generic one for $10 and sell them on urlhasbeenblocked all day? Is it really that difficult to make these cameras?

I've been looking for a while now, no luck.

Also pull up a length paracord or something to make it easier to pull wires the next time. Anyway, I had the same problem using a doorbell wire to pull ethernet cable. I basically had to estimate at what point it stops and cut a good sized hole in my bathroom wall. I then saw that it was catching a foot and a half higher so I had to cut another hole. A borescope would help make these holes much smaller. In my case these was a strap meant to hold the doorbell wire to the 2x4 in my wall. I had to remove it to get my wires the rest of the way.

"Regular Price: $179.95" clearly listed on the site. Why do you mislead us, especially as Slickdeals's stuff?

1. Regular sale price, but good price.
Flir website had this at a similar price earlier.

2. Real photo overlay on thermals is the Flir advantage. Let's you determine better what you're looking at.

3. Internal battery powered unlike Seek Thermal, usb powered. No easy battery replacements.

4. Not drop proof, water proof, etc.
If you need that, buy a used Cat S60 (etc) smartphone that has the Flir built-in (not Pro specs).

...

These are low res consumer models. See YouTube videos vs $1000+ flirs.
Good for basic air/water leak hunting, but don't expect to find pinhole air leaks around windows and such.
I never heard of the Cat S60 before thank you for enlightening. I found this page interesting if you are looking at a comparison between the two
