The Hti app autorecognizes the unit when plugged in. I find the app very stable and it hasn't crashed for me once in hours of use over every available option. Snapshots and videos seamlessly end up in Google Photos. All the options and settings are intuitive and useful. Another third part app advertised, "ThermViewer", works with this camera, but I find it buggy, slow, and doesn't list that it costs $35 after 72 hours of use, which is a non-starter for me. Frankly, that app's only advantage is the thermographic scale displayed down the side of an image, which the Hti app can't do. But Hti's app can display high-center-low crosshairs as well as several other points touched anywhere on the screen, which is possibly even more useful. Hti has six good IR color schemes. I find the "Ironbow" the most intuitive, high contrast, and easily converted to conventional white-black thermographic image. There are a few small detractions for me, barely problematic enough to lower the rating to 4-stars.
For the price (US $787), this is the best IR camera out there if you have Android. (Sorry, no iOS.) I'm using this for building evaluations and it works for me without a hitch on Android 9 (LG V35) with Hti's app. Like others mention, the aluminum chassis feels surprisingly solid. Performance is very quick on screen, no hesitation. It's the best resolution (384x288) in this class and 25 frames/second for video is movie quality. I can produce crisp, clear IR images with plenty of resolution to see air movement, siding fasteners, and lots of other interesting and useful details. The tiny carrying case is a nice capsule lined with high density foam that includes a soft rubber lens cover. One oddity is the noticeable mechanical clicking sound the camera makes every 20-40 seconds or so that freezes the output for a second, but it doesn't affect the operational effectiveness for me.
Enclosure of camera seems like plastic, but it is aluminium. The camera has a big 13mm lens. Many other thermal cameras have only 6-9mm lenses, but the bigger lens is the more infrared radiation pass through and the better quality of image. If you rotate lens, you can adjust focus. Minimum focus distance is about 15cm.
Excellent thermal imaging camera very satisfied with the purchase, it has the possibility of manual tuning of thermal images, very useful for better defining the image. With thermviewer it also saves the radiometric format of the images but unfortunately does not have a software to view them on a PC and process them later. I hope in the future that developers can develop special software. However very interesting and recommended product!
I think it's safe to say that this is the best bang-for-buck out there at the moment. I found overall that it works best between 10cm and ~2m, after which it gets a bit too blurry to pick out details. However, as you can see in the photo/videos it provides awesome resolution between those two points. The video shows my cat at a distance of about 50cm, the pictures of my hand were taken at 15-40cm. I like the fact you can even see the veins in addition to the hairs on the back of my hand. Framerate is wonderful and the auto-adjustment (clicks) are fast and barely interrupt use. It has a manual focus so you'll need to get used to using it. One thing I'd like to see in the future is interchangeable lenses but at this price that's a big ask. The app has been recently updated from what I can see - it allows you to remove the watermark if you like and has a good number of features. Compared to the competition the hardware alone in this is a step ahead in every way.
Buon prodotto con robusto involucro metallico, ottima risoluzione delle immagini termiche, eccellente la possibilità di riprese a breve distanza grazie alla messa a fuoco manuale. Il software potrebbe essere completato con la posssibilità di bloccare i limiti massimo e minimo del campo di temperatura osservato.
