TOPDON TC001 Thermal Imaging Camera for Android, Infrared Thermal Imager USB C, 512x384 High Resolution, Testing Range -20℃-550℃, 0.1℃ Test Precision for Phone/Tablet/Windows

I'm very impressed with this little attachment. Quick and easy to get up and running with it (just install the app from the Play Store, and connect it straight to the phone). Been using it to scan the house and finding areas that are clearly lacking in insulation. Areas I've had my suspicion of previously but could never be sure about - stands out a mile when viewing the infrared feed this camera provides. Being able to tap on the screen to get a spot temperature reading from a specific areas (and multiple areas at the same time for comparison) is really useful. I'm planning to take it up the loft and find areas where the insulation has gaps; should see the heat escaping from the house lighting up in these areas. Not sure how to fix some of the other problems I can clearly see now, but it's pretty exciting to be able to view the heat signature around the house. Very impressed with the resolution and quality of this camera. Punching above its weight vs similar priced cameras from other companies.

First impressions: the device feels robust and comes with a carry case, cleaning cloth and USB cable (C-to-C with an inline C-to-A adaptor) for connecting it to a laptop. So far I've I tested it with an Android phone; the software is on the Play store and it detects the device with no trouble. It lets you capture still images and videos, tweak the colour gradient and sharpness, overlay an image from the phone's camera, and has a feature for recording the max/min temperature over a period of time. I haven't run into any issues so far; will update this if I do. Out of curiosity I plugged it into a laptop without the software installed - it seems to present as a USB camera showing the thermal image with a black-and-white gradient. Obviously this lacks the calibration and extra functionality of the app but was interesting nonetheless!

Great product so far only used it a couple time. It is abit pricey but seems to be well build and comes with protective box as well.

Only used this for a couple of days now but it's already proven itself (electronics work). It's helped me to identify electronics getting hot and also where a dead short on the circuit board was. Picture good, but obviously not amazing since these devices are a low pixel count, though this one is in the higher end of the affordability scale. Worked seamlessly on win11 laptop. App easy to download and install. App a little simple, no ability to capture a view, for example, but "print screen" button will do. Would be nice to record a session (video). But it worked without issue. I did find it a little difficult to get the orientation correct, couldn't figure out which way was 'up', I guess it's oriented for being fitted to a landscape mobile phone?

It comes in a nice carry case and materials feel all premium. One can either plug it directly into an Android phone's USB charging port or via the supplied cable and it just uses the phone's battery for power so no need to charge it. All I had to do was install the app and it worked immediately, no need for sign in or anything else. I was amazed by the sharp image and how quickly it refreshes and updates, even when making big movements, it definitely has a professional/premium feel to it. Have a look at the video for how it looks like in action. Will be using this to find spots to insulate house.

This is one of those rare items you come across that is nothing short of jaw dropping. I have spent the last 4 year renovating my house almost to Passive House standards, I was considering hiring a pro to come and IR image the whole house to see what parts I'd failed on as the Flir's are so damn expensive, all their reviews are really really average and I just couldn't justify £500+ for a reasonable IR camera, then I came across the TC001. With the current cold weather in the UK and us now having no central heating to speak of, we just have an 8kw wood burning stove, some IR ceiling panels, and an HRV system, I really needed to see what I had missed. I'm an Apple guy, but I did have an Android Huawei P20 Lite for testing various stuff, that had Android 8 installed and supported OTG. So I took the risk... Although in theory the phone was supported, the app crashed as soon as it opened, so I decided to force an update to EMUI 9.1 on it. Super glad I did as then the app worked "out-of-the-box" This is just so impressive, it is absolutely worth the money. The resolution leaves competitors like the Flir in the dust. The photos I have attached: 1) Show ceiling joists cold bridging into my cavity walls, despite being airtight and packed with over 240mm of insulation!!! 2) A huge cold bridge at a wall ceiling junction I need to investigate 3) Our temporary front door, with awful cold bridging around the frame. 4/5 Our house and our neighbours... it show the value of a full filled cavity wall with platinum beads then another 80mm of IWI, our external walls are almost black compared to theirs. This has helpfully shown some issues, but as I write this it is -5.c outside and the whole house is 19-21.c inside with just the stove on really validates what we tried to do. The TC001 now allows me to optimise that process. I absolutely would suggest the cost of this will repay itself in energy savings by understanding what your house is doing with it's heat. I have a few criticisms, but really I'm nitpicking in the grand scheme: 1) The phone can't be rotated 180. so it's always slightly annoying to hold 2) The camera constantly evaluates the temperature range in view and updates the colours scheme, I set the DIY mode to -5c to 100c and the resolution seems to drop significantly and become much less responsive. 3) There is a big gap between the phone and the TC001 I assume for an Android case, but as this is my backup phone, it doesn't have one. I am now 3D printing a case that will hold both the phone and imager in one piece. I can already see a load of other uses for this and is absolutely worth the money. Well done Topdon - you totally delivered on the marketing promise - a rarity these days it seems! 100% recommended

Very clever little device and has identified lots of problem areas in my house. I had trouble getting it to connect to my android phone at first. You have to turn on OTG connection in the android settings (additional settings on my phone). I have to turn mine on every time I use it. This was not mentioned in any instructions, only found out by googling it. Other than that very easy to set up and use

I only use it for research (body temperature scanning) and entertainment (household fun checks). It works well, very good app, intuitive UI, saves images on phone, multiple customization options.

Je pensait achter le modèle supérieur mais ce nest pas seulement tout le modèle sur la photo cest le tc 001 au lieu du tc001max

USE of this product required installing an app NOT from the Google play store. This is a security risk not worth it. Returned it.

Als Hauseigentümer habe ich natürlich in Bezug auf potentielle Wärmeverluste und ggfls. feuchte Ecken im Innenraum schon immer Interesse an so einer Kamera gehabt. Jedoch schreckten mich die bisher hohen Preise eines vernünftigen Systems, auf dem auch Dinge zu erkennen sind - nicht nur helle und dunkle Flecken. Die TC001 war für 255€ hier ein echtes Schnäppchen. Auch die unkomplizierte Nutzungsweise in Kombination mit einem (aktuell leistungsstarken) Handy (bei mir A53) hat als Plug-and-Play-Version einen gewissen Charme. Ich habe die Kamera jetzt im Sommer zunächst einmal für die selbst erstellte Solar-Anlage verwendet, um hier ggfls. eine Überhitzung der Kabel unter Vollast (oder schlimmstenfalls niedriger Last) zu detektieren. Die Auflösung ist vernünftig, Hotspots werden automatisch mit Temperatur versehen und es gibt eine große Auswahl an möglichen Farbprofilen. Eine Temperatur-Korrektur mit Eingabe von Abstrahlungs-Koeffizient, Umgebungstemperatur und Abstand zum Objekt ist auch möglich. Hier bin ich aber noch am Ausreizen, wie die Auswirkungen sind, und ob ich überhaupt eine genaue Temperatur bekomme. Nach dem Studium verschiedener Internet-Bericht kam ich auch auf die DITI (Digital Infrared Thermographic Imaging) bei Menschen und Tieren. Hier sehe ich weiteres Potential. Allerdings spielt hier die Software-App noch nicht so ganz mit. Die Windows-App ist wirklich ganz rudimentär gehalten und nur ein geringer Abklatsch der Android-App. Die wiederum hat ihre Schwächen in einer konstanten Zuordnung einer Temperatur zu einer Farbe. Dies ist nämlich nicht möglich. Die oberste Farbe wird immer der höchsten Temperatur zugeordnet. Wenn der wärmste Punkt noch wärmer wird, ändert sich die Farbe dieses Punktes nicht, sondern nur die der kälteren Flächen. Hier erwarte ich von der Software die Möglichkeit, das Farbspektrum einem Temperaturbereich fest zuordnen zu können. Vielleicht wird dies ja in einem späteren Software-Update berücksichtigt. Alles in Allem von mir aber volle Kaufempfehlung für diese unkomplizierte und leicht zu bedienende kleine Kamera. Update vom 17.10.2023 Nach dem letzten Update (2.31.001) war sie dann endlich da - die Möglichkeit, Temperaturgrenzen fixe Farben zuzuordnen !!! Genial. Es ist oft (auch von mir) in Feedbacks erwähnt und nun endlich umgesetzt worden. Damit bleibt z.B. endlich 39°C rot und 22°C grün, egal wie sich die Temperatur des gemessenen Objektes ändert. Somit sind Fotos vergleichbar und in Filmen ist eine Temperaturänderung farblich zu erkennen. Dickes Lob für die Entwickler und endlich auch der (verdiente) 5te Punkte.
