Great for locating hot and cold air points

I have this for locating hot or cold air outlets. My house is getting older and I hear my HVAC system running a lot more often, so I've had it scout for spots that need a small fix to prevent air leaks and increase insulation. It's great that everything is in one, you have a built-in screen and you can see everything live. You can take photos and save them for later. You have the option to download to your computer. It's constantly reading the area you're pointing at, so it shows small fluctuations. You have many settings for temperature, color, etc. so if you need to scan something specific, you can adjust it for that reading. I read the instructions and it said you can connect it to your cell phone via Wi-Fi but the device can't. I don't have this feature and I couldn't find the Wi-Fi list in the menu. But it looks like it's not for this B10 model, it should be B20 or higher. Guess it's the same manual for all models? It is very sensitive and incredibly accurate. I didn't know there were so many hotspots in the house. I've seen people use this for ghost hunting and also to detect temperature changes. Thus, there are many situations that can be used. I wanted to buy a Flir brand similar to this one but the LCD screen was smaller. I also looked at the iPhone attachment, but I think it's best to have an all-in-one. The kit includes a charger and cable, as well as a built-in battery. It also comes with 16GB of built-in flash memory for storing snapshots. These images can also be downloaded to your computer. It's a bit pricey, but for businesses that need to pinpoint problems, thermal imaging is fast and accurate. It can tell you many things that you would not know because the eye alone cannot see it. However, I recommend spending the extra 50 and getting the Wi-Fi version. facilitates photography etc.
