HIKMICROThermal 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 boxDownload 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.

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.

By far the best thermal camera I have used.

So easy to setup and usewhen i first got it i was scanning the wrong QI Code Duh Stupid MeBut now its all setup and working and its very goodWould recomend

It worked fine for about 2 months, then today... nothing. Won't connect to either phone.

The 'HIKMICRO thermal imager for android Type-C Mini2 for Android, 256 x 192 IR Resolution, 25Hz Refresh Rate, 50° Wide Angle' arrived in a branded box that included instructions, USB C to USBC extender, a coiled USB C extension cable and storage case.I have been considering trying a thermal imager with my phone for a couple of years now, but never taken the plunge. I ordered this to use with an Alcatel 1s which has a Micro USB connector and hoped that using a micro USB adaptor to USB C would work, and the good news was it did, which means when I upgrade my phone to one which will almost certainly have a USB C connector, I will be ready to go.My first surprise was how small the thermal imager is, I include pictures of it beside an AA battery for comparison.With the camera connected to my phone and the software installed, the camera was quickly put to the test around the home with obvious hot and cold spots being immediately noticeable. I suspect it is going to take some time of trying the different colour options till I find the one I prefer and then making adjustments to other settings.I am hoping to use this for wildlife where a bird or animal maybe quite close but hard to see, the heat signature may give away its location.The other use I have for this camera is when wood turning, as it is easy to impart too much friction and therefore heat especially when sanding, I can now monitor for that in future.There are two things that might make the experience of setting up the camera even better, though it might be a case I just missed it. First provide the name of the software that needs to be installed as I don't use Q codes. Secondly make it possible/easy for the user to define the destination folder for any images/video taken. I store all my media content on the microSD card.
