I've been looking for a reasonably priced thermal camera for some time to help with property insulation and electrical work. Most of the units on the market are either low resolution or very expensive or in many cases both.This camera has a very useable thermal resolution at a reasonable price. The software has a good range of features and loaded without issues on my Android phone and tablet The camera and software have worked without any issues so far.Pros:Good resolutionReasonable priceSmall enough to pop in a shirt pocket Operates pretty much instantly when it's plugged into the phone.It seems accurate enough for my purposes and is very easy to use.It is powered directly from the device it's connected to and battery consumption seems minimal during normal use.Cons :None so farIt's not often a reasonably priced product does everything it says it will and performs flawlessly.Having read many less than stellar reviews for the market leader's equivalent product I'm very glad I purchased this device.

Fantastic little thermal camera, I have owned a FLIR one gen 2 for a few years now and was very happy with it until the internal battery started to decline. I saw a review of the TC001 and thought I might try it as a replacement to my FLIR camera. I was very impressed by this product, so easy to use, just install the app from the play store and plug it in and it's ready to go. The 256x192 resolution makes a great improvement on the FLIR camera and I was surprised with the detail it shows. But what really makes this unit superior over the FLIR camera is the 25Hz frame rate compared to 8.5Hz (due to US export control). The FLIR camera uses two cameras, one thermal and one normal and used their MSX technology to combine the two cameras which gives really good image detail with a lower thermal resolution and I thought this would make the TC001 inferior but this is not the case, comparing the two I prefer the TC001. Just one more point to make is some reviews say the image\video periodically "stutters or freezes" this is completely normal as the camera has a shutter that calibrates it from time to time as most thermal cameras do. To sum up it is a very capable camera at a great price, I highly recommend it, only for Android devices currently and it also works on a windows PC. The Android app is very good with a lot of options to add measurement points (compared to the FLIR app), the windows app needs to be improved a bit but I believe is quite new currently and Topdon are planning to improve it in the future. There are a lot of features I have not mentioned in this review as it's getting a bit long.

Having recently moved, I wanted to have a look and see how much heat I was losing, or not. The Topdon Thermal Imaging Camera was on offer with a £30 discount, so purchased and what a great little camera. Connected to my phone very easy, simple to use and the images are very good. When viewing on live screen, it will give you clear pictures with temperatures as well, very useful. The app is simple to download and can take simple easy screen shots. The camera come extremely well packed with its own soft shell case offering very good protection. This is also very useful for carrying the camera on a daily basis.All in all this is a very good camera for daily or occasional use, clear instructions, simple to use, quick to turn on.

This device seems robust and fitted to my phone with its cover thanks to the extended USB-C port.I liked everything about it apart from image uniformity. Viewing a surface of uniform temperature, say a plaster wall at 18C at a distance of a few cm, gave a temperaure that was 1 to 2 degrees higher towards a couple of corners. It might not seem much but on some image settings and low contrast subjects was like vignetting (slightly offset) on an optical image. My old HTI-A1 camera was more uniform.However, it appeared more uniform at 30C, and in any case you would be unlikely to notice it where the subject is much warmer than the background.In other respects, image resolution and clarity, temperature range, image noise, field of view, close-focus distance (about 10cm) it knocked spots off the HTI, and that is without the app, which is easy to use and adds a lot of useful features, all for less money than the average selling price of the HTI three or four years ago.Having an appendage stuck in the USB-C port is a little more awkward than the stand alone HTI but, with the addition of some velcro, the supplied USB extension would allow a more camera-like experience.

Easy to use. Install the App and away you go.Pictures are clear and temperature appears to be accurate when tested against a temperature probe.Makes tracking down heat loss in areas a breeze! Also great for testing heating systems efficiency etc.My only criticism is that the USB-C connector could have been a tiny bit longer to allow you to use it in conjunction with a case. Ordered a Small cheap USB Extender Adaptor though and that's fixed the issue.
