Review: Good quality images and easy to get up and running - First impressions: the device feels robust and comes with a carry case, cleaning cloth and USB cable (C-to-C with an inline C-to-A adaptor) for connecting it to a laptop. So far I've I tested it with an Android phone; the software is on the Play store and it detects the device with no trouble. It lets you capture still images and videos, tweak the colour gradient and sharpness, overlay an image from the phone's camera, and has a feature for recording the max/min temperature over a period of time. I haven't run into any issues so far; will update this if I do. Out of curiosity I plugged it into a laptop without the software installed - it seems to present as a USB camera showing the thermal image with a black-and-white gradient. Obviously this lacks the calibration and extra functionality of the app but was interesting nonetheless! Review: Seriously impressive!! - This is one of those rare items you come across that is nothing short of jaw dropping. I have spent the last 4 year renovating my house almost to Passive House standards, I was considering hiring a pro to come and IR image the whole house to see what parts I'd failed on as the Flir's are so damn expensive, all their reviews are really really average and I just couldn't justify £500+ for a reasonable IR camera, then I came across the TC001. With the current cold weather in the UK and us now having no central heating to speak of, we just have an 8kw wood burning stove, some IR ceiling panels, and an HRV system, I really needed to see what I had missed. I'm an Apple guy, but I did have an Android Huawei P20 Lite for testing various stuff, that had Android 8 installed and supported OTG. So I took the risk... Although in theory the phone was supported, the app crashed as soon as it opened, so I decided to force an update to EMUI 9.1 on it. Super glad I did as then the app worked "out-of-the-box" This is just so impressive, it is absolutely worth the money. The resolution leaves competitors like the Flir in the dust. The photos I have attached: 1) Show ceiling joists cold bridging into my cavity walls, despite being airtight and packed with over 240mm of insulation!!! 2) A huge cold bridge at a wall ceiling junction I need to investigate 3) Our temporary front door, with awful cold bridging around the frame. 4/5 Our house and our neighbours... it show the value of a full filled cavity wall with platinum beads then another 80mm of IWI, our external walls are almost black compared to theirs. This has helpfully shown some issues, but as I write this it is -5.c outside and the whole house is 19-21.c inside with just the stove on really validates what we tried to do. The TC001 now allows me to optimise that process. I absolutely would suggest the cost of this will repay itself in energy savings by understanding what your house is doing with it's heat. I have a few criticisms, but really I'm nitpicking in the grand scheme: 1) The phone can't be rotated 180. so it's always slightly annoying to hold 2) The camera constantly evaluates the temperature range in view and updates the colours scheme, I set the DIY mode to -5c to 100c and the resolution seems to drop significantly and become much less responsive. 3) There is a big gap between the phone and the TC001 I assume for an Android case, but as this is my backup phone, it doesn't have one. I am now 3D printing a case that will hold both the phone and imager in one piece. I can already see a load of other uses for this and is absolutely worth the money. Well done Topdon - you totally delivered on the marketing promise - a rarity these days it seems! 100% recommended ## Features - 【Lower Comsumption, Longer Battery Life】 The TOPDON thermal imaging camera attaches to a smartphone or tablet, and is powered by the device itself. This eliminates any fear of running out of power outside. With low power consumption of 0.35W, the TC001 infrared thermal imager can operate for 4-7 hours with phones with a 3000-5000mAh battery. For example, the TC001 can work continuously for up to 220 minutes on a Google Pixel4, and 313 minutes on a Samsung Galaxy S21. - 【Enhanced Thermal Clarity】The thermal camera boasts a TISR feature, improving the resolution from 256*192 to 512*384 for even sharper, more distinct images. This enhanced resolution is especially beneficial for detecting subtle temperature variations in objects where surface temperatures are difficult to differentiate, such as circuit boards and electronics. With a heat sensitivity of <40mK, the camera captures even the smallest temperature changes, providing highly detailed thermal images. - 【Extensive & Accurate Detection】 With a temperature range of -4℉ to 1022℉ (-20℃ to 550℃), the thermal imaging camera allows users to perform temperature reading for more objects. The DIY temperature range ability enables the TC001 to set upper and lower limits and select corresponding colours. Additionally, this Thermal Imaging camera can perform temperature detection with ±3.6℉ (2℃) or 2% of max temperature for error and measure temperature to 0.18℉(0.1℃) accuracy. - 【3 Temperature Dimensions & 9 Color Palettes】 Users can manually select 3 dimensions to check temperature: Point, Line (Highest and Lowest) and Surface (Highest and Lowest). This enables up to 9 areas at your disposal for Android Phones or Tablets, and unlimited areas in Windows laptops. This thermal scanner can also take continuous measurements of a scene and generate a waveform graph to determine if a device is overheating regularly. - 【Compact and Adaptable】Measuring 2.8x1.65x0.55 inches and weighing 1 ounce (or 30 grams), the thermal imaging camera is portable and pairs easily with your Android phone, allowing you to monitor temperatures anywhere. A 19.7" cable offers longer lengths via a USB converter, giving greater flexibility for temperature readings. A dustproof EVA bag and wipe provide protection and cleaning.Tips: ❗Not compatible with iPhone 15. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B0BFCVZC6R | | Autofocus | No | | Best Sellers Rank | 38,253 in Business, Industry & Science ( See Top 100 in Business, Industry & Science ) 344 in Temperature & Humidity Measurement | | Box Contents | 1* TC001, 1* Adapter Cable, 1* Carrying Bag,1*Clean Cloth,1*User Guide | | Brand | TOPDON | | Brand Name | TOPDON | | Camera Flash Type | No Flash | | Colour | TC001 For Android-Blue | | Connectivity Technology | USB | | Connectivity technology | USB | | Continuous Shooting Speed | 25 FPS | | Customer Reviews | 4.5 out of 5 stars 982 Reviews | | Effective Still Resolution | 256 Pixels | | Flash Type | No flash | | Global Trade Identification Number | 00850028162781 | | Item Highlight | Video Recording,-20°C to 550°C,<40mK, Thermal Camera for Android Phone/Tablet/Window, for HVAC/Leak Detection/Home Inspection | | Item Length | 14 Centimetres | | Item Type Name | TOPDON USA - THERMAL IMAGING CAMERA FOR ANDROID DEVICES 256X192 | | Item Weight | 30 Grams | | Item weight | 30 Grams | | Manufacturer | TOPDON | | Manufacturer Part Number | TC001 | | Media Type | USB-C | | Media type | USB-C | | Model Name | TC001 | | Model Number | TOPDON TC001 für Android | | Number of Items | 1 | | Number of Packs | 1 | | Rear Webcam Resolution | 0.1 MP | | Sensor Type | Infrared | | UPC | 850028162781 | | Unit Count | 1.0 count | | Zoom Type | Brak | | Zoom type | Brak | ## Product Details - **Brand:** TOPDON - **Colour:** TC001 For Android-Blue - **Connectivity technology:** USB - **Media type:** USB-C - **Zoom type:** Brak ## Images ![TOPDON TC001 Thermal Imaging Camera, 512x384 TISR Resolution, 25Hz - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81lGxEiShTL.jpg) ## Questions & Answers **Q: Is there provision for a visible image to be taken by the phone camera at the same time the device takes a thermal photo for side by side reference?** A: Sort of. On android a camera image can can be superimposed on the thermal image and can be scaled up and moved on screen to get some form of concurrence. Unfortunately the app only seems to record the thermal image. However, if you do get the 2 images to line up reasonably well and you are steady, it is possible to take the thermal image and then switch to the camera app to take the similar photo equivalent. On windows there doesn't appear to be any image superposition capability. Having said that the thermal image is very good and I have even taken an image of my electric guitar (on laptop) on which all the strings are discernable - and the thinnest string is only .008" diameter! **Q: Hi, what’s in topdon tc001?** A: Hello, you could get the following items, TC001 Thermal Imaging Camera*1 Carry Bag*1 Multifunctional Adapter Cable*1 Quick User Guide*1 Cleaning Cloth*1 Please check the video to find the detailed package list.

They are stored in local storage, so once you understand that they are easy to find. The images aren't quite as clear as I was expecting, but the biggest issue I had was that the colour scale for temperature changes as you track around. Not so much an issue if you are taking photos but if you are using the video functionality this is very annoying. At the end of the day it was good for specific static comparisons, but for me it wasn't so good to give an overal view. Unfortunately whilst it did help, it wasn't what I needed. The attached video show both the good (i found my ceiling wasn't insulated, and you can see the warmer joists) and bad (you can see the temperature scale and colours changing on the right as temperature scales change. ## Frequently Bought Together - TOPDON TC001 Thermal Imaging Camera for Android, Infrared Thermal Imager USB C, 512x384 High Resolution, Testing Range -20℃-550℃, 0.1℃ Test Precision for Phone/Tablet/Windows - UGREEN 100W USB C Extension Cable 10Gbps 4K 60Hz USB 3.2 Male to Female Fast Charge Extension Lead Compatible with MacBook Pro M3, iPad Pro 2021/Air 5, iPhone 16/15, Galaxy S24 Ultra Silver, 1M --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.sc/products/474498760-topdon-tc001-thermal-imaging-camera-512x384-tisr-resolution-25hz](https://www.desertcart.sc/products/474498760-topdon-tc001-thermal-imaging-camera-512x384-tisr-resolution-25hz) --- *Product available on Desertcart Seychelles* *Store origin: SC* *Last updated: 2026-10-09*
