Review on Enhanced FLIR ONE Pro LT - Android (USB-C) - Professional-Grade Thermal Camera for Smartphones - Featuring VividIR and MSX Image Enhancement Technology by Joe Jordan

The LT model has a lower resolution than the FLIR ONE but has FLIR ONE Pro software. More software options make lower resolution less of a problem when outlining images with information from a visible light lens. In practice, all you have to do around the house is get close to the surface to see details from afar after a wider scan, similar to a traditional camera. Battery life is limited. So when you're done playing (it's fun), load it up and plan on completing the survey in under an hour. Some tips. 1] Glass is IR opaque so don't pay attention to the readings you get from it. 2] Shiny objects emit IR poorly and reflect it like a mirror. Don't let your own reflection fool you. 3] Place a piece of electrical tape on a shiny surface and measure the temperature of the tape. 4] Water is surprisingly good at retaining heat, so try a fan or change the temperature of the air conditioner to find moisture. create a temperature difference and moisture is released. Confirm your suspicions with a moisture meter.5] Outdoor sun and wind can alter surface temperatures and create confusion. It's not hard to imagine liquid propane at the bottom of a tank being colder than the vapor at the top, or at the same temperature for any period of time. hot and cold by itself. My nephew is not the human torch in Antarctica, but if he were the image would also be purple to yellow.7] You may think you can see through things, but you really can't . You only see the difference in surface temperatures. In the middle shot you can see the missing insulation board on the ceiling and three windows. If you look closely you can see my reflection in the right window. Even if I put my hand on one of the windows, the handprint would be visible immediately and would be saved for several minutes. 8] When monitoring the power panel, do so when the attached devices are on and drawing power. Unloaded power panels are no fun in the IR. Place the measuring point on the spot in question and make sure that it really is "too" hot, not just warmer than the surroundings. Switches and wires under load usually heat up and stand out. If it's a bad connection problem, the entire wire in the image doesn't "glow"; only the end connected to the switch.9] You can identify problems with the switch bus connection by the heat that appears to be coming from the gap between the switches and not from the switch itself. Remember that tires are shiny and mirrored, so the heat you see may be your own body heat radiating back to you. Step aside or disconnect from the network and try the band trick.
