You can attach the FLIR One Pro to your iPhone to use a high-quality thermal camera. Thermal and normal imagery are combined with FLIR cameras to provide a much more detailed image with MSX technology. You can also adjust the height of the OneFit connector so that you can connect to any iPhone, regardless of what case it is in.

For high-quality imaging with FLIR One Pro, you can select from up to nine different colour palettes. Images were taken with a thermograph that is highly portable.

Further, this iPhone thermal camera can withstand drops of up to 1.8 metres.

It detects energy loss, electrical faults, and water leaks with the Seek Thermal Camera for iPhone. The phone’s battery powers the Seek camera in addition to not requiring batteries or charging. In addition, since there are no batteries, the camera is much smaller and more compact.

The waterproof case that comes with the Seek camera makes it easy to store. It also comes with a thermal sensor with a resolution of 206 x 156 pixels and comes in nine different colour palettes.

FLIR’s One Gen 3 thermal camera is an affordable alternative to the FLIR One Gen 5. By combining thermal and regular images, the MSX technology of the Gen 3 offers more detailed thermal images. A OneFit connector lets you adjust the fit even if your phone is in a case.

The FLIR cameras are completely battery-powered, unlike the Seek Camera, which drains your phone’s battery. There are nine different colour palettes available for this thermal camera.

Is an iPhone thermal camera the best option?

By building a thermal imaging camera into the bottom of mobile phones, it may be possible to detect energy losses, water leaks, and electrical faults. When not in use, I kept one of these portable cameras in my tool pouch as a home inspector.

Home inspectors most commonly use this type of camera to inspect basements for moisture issues. You can always have a camera on hand when you need one with a phone-connected camera. If you sweep a large area for temperature anomalies, a moisture metre can confirm any suspicious areas of the basement (particularly its corners).

What powers the iPhone thermal camera?

Thermal cameras for your iPhone come in two main types.

It won’t drain your phone’s battery since one type has its own battery. However, their batteries make them bulkier. The camera will also need to be charged or it will be useless.

Thermal cameras that use your phone’s power are also available. In comparison to cameras with batteries, these iOS thermal cameras can be up to 1/4 smaller than normal thermal cameras. You will, however, run out of battery much faster than usual since it drains the battery much more quickly. The camera shouldn’t be a problem if you don’t use it for a long time.

Thermo-cameras on iPhone: How do you connect them?

The way the thermal camera is connected to your iPhone is another factor to consider. Thermal cameras from FLIR have a OneFit connector that allows for complete customizability. As a result, you can lengthen or shorten the connector according to the iPhone case. It might not be possible to connect some thermal cameras to your phone if you’re wearing a case.
