5. Flir One V3
The camera enables non-contact point temperature measurements and has an automatic shutter. In addition, the accompanying app offers you a thermal imaging panorama and time-lapse function. Discover the world around you with new eyes. The Flir One for iOS is not only equipped with the Flir Lepton thermal imaging camera, but also with a visual VGA digital camera. Using Flir's proprietary MSX technology, the software merges the images from both cameras to give you thermal images with more detail and higher resolution. The camera attachment for your Apple smartphone not only provides you with images, but also precise measurement data: using non-contact temperature measurement, you can record the temperature in the respective target area from any point. Within a range of -20 to +120 °C, the Flir One reliably recognises temperature differences of just one tenth of a degree. The Flir One has a battery capacity of 350 mAh and does not draw power from the battery of the device to which it is currently attached. It is also not charged via this; a 1 A power supply unit with Lightning adapter is used for this. This in turn only charges the camera attachment, but not the device to which it is attached. When you are not using the Flir One, it automatically switches to energy-saving mode to maximise battery life. Thermal resolution: 80 x 60 pixels.
6. HAZET Wärmebildkamera 1992N-1
