Are we ever going to have cheap thermal imaging infrared cameras? Come on China!

You can get one for $150 with low resolution, that's pretty cheap.

all I see is memes

life is a meme, or to quote Shakespeare

"memes memes memes"

Damn it’s rough in Yurop



Seems like the low pixel ones are starting to get to the point where a serious DIYer could buy one if they thought they would use it on more than one job a year.



Borescopes are like $25 now, so I have hope for the thermal cams.

ulefone makes phones with pretty decent ir cameras.

this was taken with an armor 9. i've had it a couple years now, so i'm sure whatever they have now is better.

The 'plug directly into your phone' ones are shit.

The FlirOne certainly is.

>work in APT maintenance

>Company buys these for the dozens of properties they have across the US

>Neither I, nor any of my co-workers can get it to function properly with our phones

>The FlirOne app is required to use the camera

>For android devices, you must have android 12 or newer for the app to even show up on the google play store

>One guy with an android 10 device gets it work a single time in the office by using an old APK he found online

>He can't get it to work when he's documenting an actual water leak

>company is bitching that people aren't using the thermal cameras 

>I'm the only one including thermal pictures in incident reports since I have my own Klein camera



Pretty sure whoever was in charge of purchasing the FlirOnes did an amazon search and chose the first one that came up because they're cheap

I was.cruising around on vevor the other day and saw they have a thermal imaging camera. Had good reviews on there...

>vevor

the sticker they put on 90% of all exported items nowadays?

that is not a brand, its a synonym for "Made in prc"

>>2607855 (OP)

It is illegal because of the Arms Export Control Act of 1976 just like GPS chips have baked in altitude and speed limits

Well no shit it's from China. How else would their shit be so cheap? This entire point of this thread is asking for a cheap Chinese thermal imaging camera...

Vevor is clearly a brand.

My favorite Canadian, Matthius Wandel played with pic related on YouTube. It's pretty good for $300. I thought about gutting one and turning it into a rifle cope scope for a tenth the price.
