Lightweight accessory that transforms your Android device into a powerful thermal infrared camera; FLIR ONE displays live thermal infrared imagery.
For this utilitarian purpose alone, contractors, sportspeople and homeowners will likely put Flir to work in more ways than they would have imagined.
While this device won’t let you see through walls, it detects and lets you visualize the heat of objects behind them via its Flir One Companion app. That app’s psychedelic color schemes have also caught the attention of visual artists, some (not all) of whom would not know a dry wall from a circuit board. Creative folks are crafting Flir’s unique visions into vibrant artworks.
I had a look at the second-generation Flir One in both homeowner and artist mode and found it was equally able to detect a potential clogged drain (and make it look as pretty as a drain could look) as heat escaping through my windows, while at the same time producing extremely decorative images of whatever I would normally photograph, though at 640 x 480 resolution.
The new second generation Flir has a much different form factor and includes a more powerful thermal sensor than the original camera, with four times the resolution for crisper and clearer images. As a detachable accessory that fits into the lightening or microUSB connector of your mobile device, it is also lighter — less than one-third the weight of the original — at 2.75 ounces.
The human eye can see only a small part of the electromagnetic spectrum. Flir’s cameras, on the other hand — like the Seek Thermal and Fluke cameras — can see into the infrared spectrum, which is comprised of longer wavelengths than visible light. And that is what allows the device’s camera to see heat in the same way as humans see light, and show you the results.
