TOPDON TC001 Thermal Imaging Camera for Android, Infrared Thermal Imager USB C, 256x192 High Resolution, Testing Range -20℃-550℃, 0.1℃ Test Precision for Phone/Tablet/Windows

The media could not be loaded. It comes in a nice carry case and materials feel all premium. One can either plug it directly into an Android phone's USB charging port or via the supplied cable and it just uses the phone's battery for power so no need to charge it. All I had to do was install the app and it worked immediately, no need for sign in or anything else.I was amazed by the sharp image and how quickly it refreshes and updates, even when making big movements, it definitely has a professional/premium feel to it. Have a look at the video for how it looks like in action. Will be using this to find spots to insulate house.

Accuracy can only be assumed as we have no real standard to check against - apart from boiling a kettle....Certainly shows up cold spots in the house, round windows and doors. Definitely guides where you need to insulate (can't beat a good set of curtains).For a technical user, it's easy to identify circuits or breakers that are hot under load, and cheaper than some similar products.Good on phone and iPad, so it's easy to take screenshot for reference (or for customers).Price... I didn't buy at the best price, and it did vary a lot around that time. If your buying from Amazon, use the 'cameliser' add-in to your browser to watch for best pricing. Even today, it's £20 less than I paid...

Only used this for a couple of days now but it's already proven itself (electronics work).It's helped me to identify electronics getting hot and also where a dead short on the circuit board was.Picture good, but obviously not amazing since these devices are a low pixel count, though this one is in the higher end of the affordability scale.Worked seamlessly on win11 laptop. App easy to download and install.App a little simple, no ability to capture a view, for example, but "print screen" button will do.Would be nice to record a session (video).But it worked without issue.I did find it a little difficult to get the orientation correct, couldn't figure out which way was 'up', I guess it's oriented for being fitted to a landscape mobile phone?

Out of the package, this is an impressive bit of kit. It looks well made and the case provides good protection for the lens. I bought it to help me check the performance of my underfloor heating. Connection to my iPad mini was easy and I then spent a couple of hours trying to get to grips with the many different functions and settings. I found it difficult to focus the camera to obtain a clear picture of the loops. I could see the temperature readings clearly but the individual loops did not stand out sufficiently for me to gauge whether there were any sections suffering poor flow. It works quite well when looking for cold spots in the ceiling and differentiating hot and cold pipes near my gas boiler. Although I have only owned the camera since late November, I have since learned that the company now sells a version with adjustable focus on the lens which YouTube video suggests is a big improvement in quality of image.

This little device has been a massive help in 'retrofitting' our old and cold house. It's got a great little app that fires up as soon as you pop the camera on, and then you're away. Pretty easy to interpret the results and there are lots of settings options if you're so inclined. It's very possibly the best money I've spent recently. Soooooo handy to just be able to pop this on my phone (Android but there's probably one for apple users too) and find where I next need to sort insulation and/or airtightness issues. Much as I love 'shiny stuff' gadgets, this camera helps keeps me focussed on the best bang for buck areas and our house is now much warmer, feels more comfortable and the heating bills have been slashed. Insulate, insulate, insulate!

Works really well with great detailed resolution.

Very simple to set up, solidly built and works well, perfect for checking out my battery and inverter cables for hot spots. The only very slightly negative point is I can't plug it into my phone with the thick protective case I have. So I've used self adhesive velcro tape to be able to attach it to the back of the case when needed, and used the supplied cable to plug it in.

Bought this, it worked sporadically, thought it might be due to an issue with the usb port on my phone so didn't report it. Got a new phone, it still doesn't work, tried on a friend's phone, doesn't work. I complained on Amazon, no reply. AVOID AVOID AVOID
