HIKMICRO Thermal camera for android Mini2, Thermal Imaging Camera 256 x 192 IR Resolution, 25Hz Refresh Rate, 50°Wide Angle, -20°C to 350°C Temperature measurement range, for USB-C (not for iphone)

Premium construction including the little case provided. Has additional adaptors in the box Download the app from the Play Store then plug it in. Done. Really easy and no batteries required. The image is clear and bright, with a respectable resolution. There are some settings to adjust the image, colours and range. They aren't explained very well but you can tinker with them to your own requirements. I am using it with a Galaxy S24 Ultra, so I am unsure if a budget phone will be as good but I don't see why not. The sensitivity is extremely impressive. Try walking (even quickly) along a carpet and see your footprints! Try facing a window and you will see an eerie vision of yourself even if you can't see the reflection with the naked eye! The temperature will show instantly as you pan around and it's quite an eye opener to see how much heat is radiating from various appliances and tech around your home. It's expensive (mid range) but worth it in my opinion, especially when it's on offer as it was when I purchased. It might be a bit of a toy to some but it does have some genuinely useful practical uses.

This camera really surprised me in a positive way. The image is actually legible the temperatures seam to be accurate and the app has had a few revisions since someone on YouTube has mad a video about this, so the app is working superbly now you can disable and enable almost every function of this camera. One slight downside is the fact that there is no auto range feature so you're either in a -20 to 150C or 150 to 350C so that's my only complain. The case is sturdy and the foam insert that actually holds the camera is perfectly fitted so your device doesn't move around. For a hobbyist or work around the house this is perfect. Would recommend for the price and it's value compared to another thermal cameras.

Infinitely better that the FLIR junk I previously bought that lasted 5 minutes with it's rubbish batteries. This works of the host devices battery and doesn't cause too much drain either. Appears accurate enough and is a sensible price. Would definitely recommend over any junk from the FLIR company.

I had the opportunity to compare this with a Flir camera, and I have to say they are worlds apart. The resolution of this camera is really quite amazing, picking up on small thermal details. I can see the wiring in my heated steering wheel, and even objects that I've recently touched, or where I've walked barefoot on my hard floors. I did originally get this to check for draughts and cold-spots in my house, but unfortunately I wasn't able to draw anything definitive from it; I guess because it's picking up the entire ambient temperature too. There are other modes that support have been encouraging me to try out, so will need to explore those in more detail. I'm also puzzled by the design choice for the protective case - yes, it's a very sturdy case with lots of padding in it for the module, and even a small pocket for additional adapters, etc, but given the case is for using it when out and about, how is there NO space for even the included extension cable (which is definitely recommended to use because if you drop your phone with the camera plugged into the USB-C port directly, you will break something). The hardware itself is pretty good, but I guess it comes down to your use-case as to whether it's worth spending £170+ on it.

Worked perfectly out of the box, Bought it to check my underfloor heating and it showed the piping under the floor clearly. Really pleased with this product. Plan to use it for other environmental assessments such as heat loss and gain.

So easy to setup and use when i first got it i was scanning the wrong QI Code Duh Stupid Me But now its all setup and working and its very good Would recomend

By far the best thermal camera I have used.

This comes nicely packaged and has it's own little case with hook clip, so you can take it out on the go. The app was simple to download and install from the play store and recognised the camera just fine after giving it permission. Straight away it gets to work on the thermal imagery. The hotter something gets the more white it becomes and the cooler, the more purple/blue it is. This makes it simple to see even small differences in temps, meaning this has a multitude of uses. Here are some I have use it for so far: 1, Electronics repair. I have used this to find a faulty component on a board that was shorted and getting too hot. This instantly showed me the point of failure and enabled me to quickly replace the component and repair the device. 2, PC Cooling check. I had a little problem where my PC would get too hot playing some 3D games, so I checked the PC under stress and noticed the GPU wasnt warming the heatsink as well as it should be, so I changed the thermal paste and it now runs much better. 3, Playing Golf! Yes, playing golf. I used this camera to find my balls in the rough. The camera really is that sensitive to heat, that even a golf ball that has just been handled and hit can be found in long grass, as it would have a slightly different temperature than its surroundings, making it easier to find those miss-hit balls. I am not sure if this will work as well in the warmer weather, but under 10 degrees outside, it seemed to be ideal. 4, Home Improvement. You can use this to find the areas of your home that are letting in the cold air. This is usually around the doors and windows, but I really didn't realise how much heat was lost via a catflap and power vent in the kitchen. I have since ordered a new catflap with better seal and am looking into better venting. I am sure there would be other uses that people could find for this device, but for these alone I really love this camera. It has become a bit of a game changer for me. It's incredibly simple to use, it auto calibrates to your surroundings and is basically idiot proof. 5 easy stars from me, this really is ideal and the price is £259 but that has been reduced before, so look out for discounts, but even at £259, this is very good value, as there are other brands that cost far more for basically the same thing.
