The FLIR ONE thermal imager is compatible with the iPhone5 and 5s and fits on the phone like a protective case.
Once mounted, the device displays a live thermal image of the world right on the phone’s screen, giving users unprecedented ability to ‘see’ in an array of conditions, including complete darkness. Originally developed for military night vision, this technology can be used for security, safety, home improvement and outdoor recreation applications.
The tool can be used to locate wall studs and ceiling joints and can be used to spot relative temperature differences at doors and windows to optimise energy efficiency. The imager houses its own battery source that can power the device for 2 h of continuous use and is said to boost iPhone5 and 5s battery life by up to 50%.
