content: Introducing Fotric 226, 2-in-1 professional thermal camera. It can be used as a handheld IR camera with a smartphone, or a long time monitoring instrument with the PC. It has 384x288 IR pixel, -4°F~1,202°F temperature range, ±2°C or ±2% accuracy, 10+ hours battery time, free professional analysis software, optional macro lens up to 30um etc."Fotric 226 thermal camera can record up to 1TB single radiometric file on the PC up to 30Hz. That is up to 9 days of continuous data at 5 frames per second or a full 1.5 months at 1 frame per second. The powerful AnalyzIR software and can open and manipulate 1 TB Radiometric file in seconds and extract full radiometric data of every pixel in every frame."Have anyone tried this feature? The analysis seems fairly easy in the software.

Also transferring the data from a SD card into your computer will take a long time when things get this big.Apparently, they store the images in their own format that allows them to do analysis on the files efficiently.

content: Don't try disguising marketing posts as a genuine question.Your messages have been nothing but advertisements for Fortic.If you want a genuine discussion and review, send a few people here a sample unit - Fraser or me, for example. Maybe even ship one to Dave, if you really believe your product is worth the money.P.S: Nobody sane is going to pay $3000 for a 320x240 phone-attached camera that can't record at full frame rates. The Therm-App 640 is $3000 for 640x480 @ 25Hz.

Radiometric recording up to 30Hz on PC (up to 1TB) and 5Hz on a smartphone (up to 1,000 frames).

You may check the full specs on the internet.Is the calibrated temperature range of Therm-App 5–90°C? I didn't see this parameter in the brochure.This camera has 30Hz frame rate and is export controlled. If someone living in US is interested to review a Fotric camera, I believe Fotric will be happy to arrange that.
