Appreciate you sharing your experience -- I've been considering a FLIR cam, did you find a better alternative?

- alhirzel 6y agothere are none...
- colincooke 6y agoYeah there is nothing comperable. For those with infared needs we're mostly stuck
- jbay808 6y agohttps://thinklucid.com/ https://thinklucid.com/ This is a new company created by a bunch of ex- Point Grey engineers who left FLIR. They're worth keeping an eye on.
- lhpz 6y agoSeek Thermal is an alternative provider for thermal cameras: https://www.thermal.com/ https://www.thermal.com/
- wlesieutre 6y agoI like how their phone accessory Seek Compact camera is advertised as having “< 9 Hz frame rate.” I’m sure it’s fine but that’s a strange way of listing it.
- sepples 6y agoThat's actually a "feature" for IR cameras because 9+ FPS brings it into a different category for export control.
- wlesieutre 6y agoHuh, interesting! It makes sense in that context. Having never tried one of these, I wonder if they take that slow camera stream and do higher framerate image stabalization on the phone to make it less jerky when hand-held.
- garaetjjte 6y agoThere's also i3system/ThermalExpert: http://www.i3-thermalexpert.com/ http://www.i3-thermalexpert.com/
- RyJones 6y agoNot really. GP’s remarks about software quality are spot on.
- immmmmm 6y agoIf your ready paying your camera the price of a small car, Xenics has a few alternatives that work well. They also have a support team who replies to your questions. It's important to note that some technologies (Micro-bolometers, InGaAs) have export restrictions due to applications for weapons systems, etc..
