Seek Thermal Compact XR Extended Range High Resolution Thermal Imaging Camera with Micro USB Connector and Protective Waterproof Case for Android Devices, Black

Had to return the Seek Thermal Compact XR (Android version). Frequent screen freezes which could only be resolved by unplugging and reconnecting the camera, only for it to happen again after 20-30 seconds of use. I don't know if the problem is with the app or the camera itself (or my Moto G6 Play phone) but it was very disappointing for me. On the other hand the Amazon return procedure via UPS was absolutely brilliant and I had my refund within 24 hours so five stars for that!

great for the job

Parfait 👍

Relqcion calidad precio ok, funciona perfectamente, calidad qceptable y definicion lo que especifica. No he visto todas las opciones. Este modelo tiene menor angulo de vision que otro de la misma marca, por lo que hay que estar a una distancia.

The Seek Compact thermal cameras (XR and non-XR) have a true thermal sensor resolution of 206 x 156 pixels, and are remarkably cheaper than other thermal cameras with a similar resolution. I have never used any other thermal camera, but I have read comments by people who do also have other thermal cameras, who observe that the Seek image has more noise. I guess you would expect something to be better if you paid three times the price, so I didn't deduct any stars for the noise. I have attached a couple of images (a person and my UPS) showing what the camera can do. Note that I probably didn't get the focus quite right; I found it surprisingly difficult to tell exactly how well I had focused. You can't tell by looking at these images, but in fact the temperatures reported are out by 6°C. Under other circumstances (after briefly reviewing a recorded and image and then returning to measuring) my camera reported temperatures as much as 8°C below reality at room temperature. The image also became very noisy and developed a halo effect. Seek specify that between 0°C and 100°C the camera should be accurate to within ±5°C once it has warmed up, so my unit was clearly defective, and I ended up returning it (a process which Amazon made very painless). I have based my "star" rating ignoring the numbers reported, and ignoring the strange state my camera entered after a warm restart to measuring. In case it helps anyone else who happens to receive a defective camera, I have included some images showing the problems I experienced. Firstly, after spending a few seconds in the gallery and then returning to measuring, and looking at a surface of uniform temperature, I got an extraordinarily noisy image with a halo. After a few minutes this settled down to a somewhat noisy halo with marked vertical stripes. The final image shows a cup of warm water that was sitting on a floor of uniform temperature. As you can see, these last three images are nowhere close to the quality of first two. My main criticism (and the reason I deducted one star) would have to be the app. It does not allow the user to apply any calibration, so even if you know the temperate of something in the image you can't force the camera to report it correctly. It can report the temperature at the center of the image, or the highest and lowest temperatures in the image, but if you are interested in more than one point that is not an extreme then you are out of luck. You also cannot specify the range of temperatures or even lock the range so that you can get multiple images with the same temperature scale: the scale always automatically adjusts to the highest and lowest temperatures visible. If you just want to locate a hot spot the app is fine, but if you want images for use in writing up a report it is a bit limited. For the record I have discussed my problems with other owners of Seek Compact cameras (XR and non-XR) and some of them have reported that they are getting accurate temperatures and an almost immediate return to good images after resuming measuring. I presume defective units like mine are rare, and I would have been very happy with it if I had always been able to get images like the first two and if the reported temperatures had been close to accurate.

The graphics used to sell the device are misleading. Its visual quality is so poor its usless, literally looks like pixelated garbage. They claimed 1800 yard range, WRONG barly 5 feet. Clicks every 3 seconds, and the video lags/stutters when it does. The app needed is just a giant advertisement for more of their crap products. The app asks for permissions, it wants to sign up. Seek thermal just has to make as much money as possible, first it uses crap sensors, then it lies with fake stats and graphics to sell its garbage thermal camera, then it shows ads in its app, and then it sells all the data it harvests from the use of its app and camera. Used it for less than 3 mins, back in the box it goes RETURNED.

No panorama and no lock spam are two bummer. But the resolution is excellent! It is also sticking great to my galaxy s7 compared to my flir one gen 2.
