Thermal Camera for iPhone and Android Phones

Turn the phone in your pocket into an infrared inspection tool.

This compact thermal imager plugs directly into compatible iOS and Android devices and shows temperature differences as color-coded images on your screen. It launches through a dedicated app or compatible thermal imaging software, capturing infrared radiation and turning it into high-contrast images and video that are easy to read even the first time out. Adjustable color palettes, on-screen temperature markers, and zoom help you zero in on what matters, from insulation gaps in a wall to hot spots on a distribution board. It draws power from your phone, so there is no second battery to manage, and it slips into a pocket or tool bag.
