I've never used a thermal camera, I'm undecided between:pc210 guidesuti 260bor to spend a little more and get a HIKMICROin this regard there is a HIKMICRO B01 version, which does not exist on the official website..prices are €320 HIKMICRO B01, €380 HIKMICRO B10the first one doesn't have a normal cam and I don't understand if this thing is fundamental importance..I would use it to look at walls and electrical panels, I don't do electronics repairs..ps: sorry for the English...

content: A visible camera is not likely to be of use.The main uses are if say you are checking all the fuseboxes in a factory you get an image with the box ID.It can be used to try and enhance very low pixel count images by 'fusion' techniques, just as often flawed than successfulThey are all basically the common Chinese 256x192 sensor scaled to a 320x240 screenMain choice is probably screen size / format (portrait or landscape)Do not believe all the publicity images, they can be taken with much higher grade cameras.

content: I have a Flir E75 thermal camera and I am missing the fastener/screw that holds the rubber lens boot/cover on the front of the camera and would like to know what size thread/pitch so I can find something that will work.As ridiculous as it sounds, I have contacted Flir customer service to purchase a replacement fastener, but they told me that because it fastens to the body of the camera I have to send the whole thing in for service.... but they can sell me the lens cover itself.I explained... that you have to remove the screw to replace the lens cover, so how can they sell the lens cover and not also require it to be installed by the service dept.?I have never heard of anything so absurd!

content: Hi all!Recently got a great bargain on a thermal hunting scope (HTI HT-A4) and decided to tear it down to see which core it was using.Turns out it's using an IRay detector (should've guessed from the 384x288/50hz), and not a Seek core, which I believe some of their other products use, though do correct me if I'm wrong. In particular, their RTD3172CR detector.I was wondering if anyone had any information on this detector (pinout, datasheet, etc...) that wasn't under NDA, or if such a thing would even be possible to obtain.I don't have much use for the detector in the form of a hunting scope, and would want to try and repurpose it, if possible.Attached some images of the detector and other boards from the sensor (notably the JL7635S ASIC - which I could find very little info on).Many thanks,node3112

Because I noticed that their news ends from 2022.However, I don't seem to find information on this product when I search their other website. But there are other RTD series.https://www.infiray.com/products/infrared-detector/I noticed that this product you mentioned (RTD3172CR) is a 17μm detector. And the products on their new website are all 12μm now.Presumably, the RTD3172CR is a very old product for this company. That's why you can't find much information about it.Maybe seek uses this detector because of the low cost.

content: Hi all, is there much difference between the Topdon TC001 and the Xinfrared T2 pro in terms of sensor, range etc?I want a fairly basic thermal camera.. either android or standalone but on a budget, max £300. It'll mainly be used for sighting birds in trees at anywhere between 20-300ft or so. I know the T2 pro is okay, and i know the TC001 is comparable resolution with a more accurate temperature reading, but can be bought a lot cheaper. What i dont know about is the sensitivity of the Topdon compared to the T2.Any clues?

content: Hello. Because I've also recently been interested in getting a cheap thermal imaging camera. So I did a lot of strategy. I noticed that it seems like the TC001 is more oriented towards temperature measurement and less suitable for outdoor use. And the t2pro seems to be more oriented to use in the field, according to the manufacturer there is some kind of exclusive algorithm or something like that.Depends if you use it indoors a lot or outdoors.

content: Hi,I have a Flir Vue on my bench. It powers up, do 2 FFC events and then I just get flickering image. The FLIR logo is fine, so the video signal is fine.I also have checked the sensor (with a other mainboard from a TAU2) and it is okay.I also have the FFC event square in the upper right corner appears but it stays on.I have read the thread where Fraser had an similiar problem, but a reset and reset to factory settings didn't help.So my question is: does any one have a firmware image from a Flir Vue Pro and would share it with me? Is there any information stored in the FPGA or is all stored in the Flash-Memory? The EP4 has also an internal memory, if I read the datasheet correct.

content: The best software for this camera (and a few others) hands-down is "IRCAM Thermal Viewer" by R.M.H. Solutions in the Microsoft app store for Windows. The license is expensive but well worth it. The developer has been working on it in Discord for nearing 2 years, and it's come a very long way to being as far as I know the most competent thermal analysis software in the market (you have to pay LOTS of money to Flir for software near as good).https://apps.microsoft.com/detail/9N0X5C7DWHFF?hl=en-US&gl=USOne feature I've never seen before from other software across any hardware: you can record raw video and post-process that in the software as you see fit. So run your experiment, and adjust emissivity after the fact, for instance. Or set up some new measurements after time of initial recording. The measurements you can set up are also quite complex.

I want to remotely control the camera using FLIR tools so that it is easier and safer to take the images on the ground rather than up a ladder.When I take an image with the camera, it records both a thermal image and an RGB. However, when I take an image with the thermal camera while remote controlling it using FLIR Tools+, it only captures a thermal image with no RGB image. I have been through all the settings but can't seem to find anything that is helpful.Does anyone know if it is possible to also capture the RGB and thermal image while remote controlling the camera?

The E75 is no longer sold by Flir, even as a refurb (as far as I can see) and has been replaced by the E76. I don't know the state of the software compatibility, I am still learning about this too. Does the E75 have much better resolution than some of the lower tier, less expensive cameras? From my reading the resolution is on par with Flir's E8, although I'm not saying they are equivalent in other ways.I have decided to steer away from the discontinued cameras and have pointed my interest at the "Ex" series from Flir, with the goal of getting a used one there. I am also interested in this discussion, and thanks for asking.

content: Hi Guys, I'm new here. I'm a gas engineer and plumber and have been contemplating a thermal imagine camera for awhile. After doing some research IV come across these 2 cameras. They seem to get decent reviews but the odd thing is they never seem to get a side by side review even though they are both very similar. I have to say I'm leaning towards the topdon more, there specs are very similar so there's not much in it, but I like the bigger screen and also the OTG function to be able to use it as an inspection camera. Although I'm not sure where you buy the camera from as they don't seem to sell it as an accessory. Any feedback on these 2 would be great.

author: DaJMasta
author_rank: Super Contributor
timestamp: November 22, 2023, 06:09:05 am
content: A PIR sensor isn't really a precision instrument, but maybe some would? It would be dependent on distance (they're usually not built for large areas like outdoors), and it may depend on its evaluation criteria (how much change is required and whether a drop in temperature would work).While a diver is going to be warmer, their suits will be designed to hold in heat and their faces will be recently exposed to cold and wet, so it would take some time for the exposed skin to really get above the water temperatures after evaporative cooling and the circulation returning to the surface of the skin. Then you've only got a small portion exposed in the water, and I would assume the equipment isn't going to be radiating any significant heat.So the short answer would be maybe, at least in some situations. If you took a sensitive camera and pointed it at them, you would be able to make something out (at least in calm waters), but with a wider field, a longer distance, and uncertainty in how the thresholds of the sensor are set - you'd need a lot of testing to be reasonably sure.Maybe someone's done that - I'd assume for locating people for rescue from the air - and written up some details.

content: If the camera is really bricked and will not boot and finish when using the mem card then for extreme problems install flir tools, this will give you a flir tools folder and in the bin folder will be a flirinstallNet.exe to use. It will give you the network usb connection to use (usually flir usb works the best) then choose the firmware file that you have downloaded. If the camera is really really bad then only a few files will actually install and the repair will not work the very first try but it will install a few important files and if you run it again you will notice that it is now installing a lot of files. Will take a while like over an hour so make sure you have power cables hooked up and not just battery power. It will reboot and finish a few last files you must do what the screen says. But it will work just don't give up after the first attempt.

T2S+ app/recording alternative - Page 1

content: Hi all! New to the world of thermal photography and excited to join the forum!I just got a T2S plus and am pretty happy with it so far. I intend to use it entirely for creative purposes, and I'm wondering if there's an alternative to the Xtherm app.I know there are a couple third party apps for the X2, and I've heard of a community app for the T2S+ floating around on Discord but haven't tried it.Basically I'd like to capture and record the images coming off the sensor as raw as possible, with no upscaling, as I prefer to use my own scaling process.I want to capture the original 256x192 pixels (or 196 if it includes the bottom 4 rows of metadata) in as high a quality as possible.I can do this on PC with OBS, but this limits my mobility as I'd have to use a laptop. This brings me to my second idea:Barring a different app, another option might be to hack together a little raspberry pi recorder that can run off a battery, record to an SD card, and maybe 3d print a little housing. I'm not super versed in pi stuff but it would be an interesting project. Does anyone know if someone's done anything like this before and if so, have they documented their process?Any resources or thoughts on either option would be much appreciated!

content: I just bought a used Seek Compact, I know this is an older device but from what I read and saw it seemed to somewhat fit my needs for motherboard repair at a very low cost.Here is what it does :https://streamable.com/zcvnf5(that's a cold water bottle, that is definitely not changing temperature, but this loop happens regardless where I am pointing the camera)I am assuming this isn't normal.When I plug it in, it seems to function normally for a few seconds, then it goes into this loop (I know the clicking of the shutter is normal) of shutter activation and the temps reading go up until it clicks again.I have a feeling this is a software bug of some sort, I installed and tested it on PC with SeekOFix and it does not fall into this cycle. The readings seem fine (screenshot attached of SeekOFix)My plan was to use it with SeekOFix probably with a peltier for cooling too, but it would be nice to have it working standalone on a phone as well.Now the Seek website states the old microUSB (the device I have) is not compatible with newer phones, so I tried it on a listed compatible device Samsung S7 - the app version is the same so the behavior is the same. I've tried past version APKs but none of them work at all, I think the firmware on the Seek is newer and not compatible with the older app releases.Seems this community is the right place for information on these so if anyone has a clue what might be going on - would be much appreciatedCamera detailsS/N is 1D0462C4C495Hw v7 Th v4 TLID -1Camera software 4.8.1.9

content: Well, if anyone stumbles on one of these old things, I figured it out. The new app Seek released recognizes this old cam when used with micro USB > USB-C adapter but doesn't seem to work properly with them. I went and rooted/rolled back my old S7 to android 6 to try out the old apps, the oldest app versions didn't work at all but I found out that some do work better.Ultimately, I ended up trying all versions of the Seek app and at 2.1.7 is the last one that works fine with this older Seek Compact, even with microUSB > USB-C adapter on a newer S21 phone. Anything newer than v 2.1.7 of the app and the reading goes into a crazy loop with a lot more drift than would seem normal, basically making it kinda unusable.with new app:https://streamable.com/8owmzowith old app:https://streamable.com/exyfxe
