TOPDON TC004 Thermal Imaging Camera, 320 x 240 TISR Resolution, 256 x 192 IR High Resolution, 12-Hour Battery Life Handheld Infrared Camera with PC Analysis and Video Recording Supported, 32GB SD Card

I have the original Flir One for the iPhone that i have had for a while but lost the ability to use it when the iPhones went from lighting to USB-C. When looking for a replacement I was surprised at how far infrared image capabilities had come with modern day infrared cameras like this one when compared to my little Flir. I like this form factor better honestly. It is easy to hold and look around with, it doesnt tie up my phone which i use for a 100 other things, and its not something small that i am worried about losing or breaking. Its nice being able to skip the phone and hook it directly up to the computer or transfer the micro-sd over to get access to the images/videos. The analyzing software is great for reviewing the images/video for things that might have been missed initially. I am a power conservative freak and use this around the house to spot drafts or areas with low insulation or leaking seals. Using this i have spotted a window that needs replaced and an outside wall that clearly wasn't insulated correctly. These items lit up much redder than the rest of my walls making it easy to spot that i have a problem. The battery has held up well with my multiple uses and have only charged it once and it wasnt even dead when i dead. So far i am loving this thermal camera and its a nice upgrade over my original Flir

Be sure to calibrate the device out of the box, otherwise you will have gradients on the screen that make it seem like it is defective! I thought mine might be bad, given numerous online accounts of uneven gradients, which mine had, but after calibrating it (held it up against the bottom of the black box in a dark room during calibration), the gradient was perfect.Great device for the money, more than enough for me for use around the house, car, etc. I'm not a professional hvac tech or anything like that so I cannot speak to those types of uses.

As a homeowner who takes pride in doing my own insulation and energy efficiency upgrades, this thermal camera has been one of the smartest purchases I’ve ever made. I was initially skeptical about whether a device like this would be overkill, but it proved its value within the first 10 minutes of use.The image clarity is incredible — you can actually see where heat is escaping, where insulation is thin or missing, and where cold air is seeping in around windows, outlets, and framing. I used it to inspect my attic, rim joists, and even HVAC ducts. It identified trouble spots I never would’ve found with a flashlight or even a smoke pen.What really impressed me is how fast and accurate it is. As soon as you power it on, it gives real-time thermal feedback with no lag. I was able to detect and fix a hidden air leak behind drywall that was causing a noticeable draft in our living room. That alone made the investment worthwhile.For any homeowner serious about reducing their energy bills, improving comfort, or just getting a better understanding of what’s going on behind the walls — this tool is a must. It gives you a professional edge without having to hire one.

Great tool for automotive diagnostics! Especially for the price point compared to other infrared cameras. Top Don sells some quality tools for the money.

For a budget model this thing is pretty great. Images aren't super clear, but certainly clear enough to see what's going on. Worth the price of admission if it's not for super critical work.

I purchased this product in October, 2023. It has been a huge help during our Hurricane Ian repairs and renovations. Helped us locate:- studs- plumbing- areas of heat lossIt works well and is easy to use. It is also still working 2 years after purchase. Happy to have this among our tools.

The TOPDON TC004 handheld thermal Imaging Camera is one of the best diagnostic tools in my toolbox. It is lightweight and easy to use. Just turn it on and point. The images are fantastic quality. The tool can be used to find hundreds of problems. I really like how the TC004 tracks the Max and Min temperatures in the screen. I use it everyday in the shop to help work on cars. My wife always wanted one. I brought it home and she found another dozen uses for the TC004. She went around to all of our electrical devices and unplugged anything that generated heat that was not being used.

This is a life saver for finding modules and electronics that are staying in for parasitic draw of a vehicle. I’ve seen a lot of videos of ppl using them for that. Also finding issues with a bad breaker in homes. The possibilities are endless for this tool. Love all the functions. I really love being able to take photos of the item to look back at the temps. Highly recommend it.
