TC001 Professional Thermal Imager for Android, 512 x 384 TISR with Very High Resolution, Temperature Measurement Range -20 °C to 550 °C, Accuracy 0.1 °C

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.

Works well.

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

This little device has been a massive help in 'retrofitting' our old and cold house. It's got a great little app that fires up as soon as you pop the camera on, and then you're away. Pretty easy to interpret the results and there are lots of settings options if you're so inclined. It's very possibly the best money I've spent recently. Soooooo handy to just be able to pop this on my phone (Android but there's probably one for apple users too) and find where I next need to sort insulation and/or airtightness issues. Much as I love 'shiny stuff' gadgets, this camera helps keeps me focussed on the best bang for buck areas and our house is now much warmer, feels more comfortable and the heating bills have been slashed. Insulate, insulate, insulate!

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?

Purchased so I could use when required in a workshop environment, didn't think I would use it very often but within a day or receiving it I decided to use it to check a suspected blocked egr cooler and see what the results where in comparison to my suspicions. Once hooked up to my Samsung phone and afew minutes of playing around with the settings it was possible to confirm that there was a blockage in the cooler on the exhaust gas side causing poor heat exchange to the coolant circuit . I would only of been able to confirm my initial suspicions before by dismantling the system and checking it physically so this thermal camera allowed me to see in real time the heat exchange and heat saturation of the component and backup my diagnosis without investing additional time and labour to do so . Easy to use and excellent picture quality with several settings to enhance or refine the image your viewing , high recommended 👍

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.

Probado en dos Androids diferentes (ambos Samsung) y funciona perfectamente en los 2 (uno con Android 10 y otro con Android 16). Ojo porque según la versión de Android tienes que bajarte una app u otra (en la web del fabricante), pero una vez localizas la que le va a tu móvil, funciona correctamente. Buena resolución,

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.
