Thanks for making this! I appreciate it : )

@MakeItorBreakItNow 2 месяца назад

My pleasure! This camera has interesting potential I feel I'm just tapping into now...

@userman444 8 месяцев назад

Sooo what your thoughts after 3 weeks? You keeped or returned it ?

@MakeItorBreakItNow 7 месяцев назад

I'm keeping it. I have some ideas for more videos. The recording though is a bit disappointing, hoping for a firmware update!

Anybody know how to turn off FFC in the PC app? I see the switch in the phone app, but not in the PC app. Apparently the only switch in the PC app causes it to happen in addition to the timed happenings. Thanks.

@MakeItorBreakItNow Месяц назад

I couldn't get the PC version to work for me. Does work well on a tablet though, giving you a bigger view of things.

@Jakeisks Месяц назад

@@MakeItorBreakItNow Yeah, I will use a tablet because turning off that FFC is necessary and because it will allow watching more stuff on other monitors. It's impressive...

@davidgrim5990 8 месяцев назад

I got one and will probably keep it. It has already spotted water damage and an overheating socket.

@MakeItorBreakItNow 8 месяцев назад

Water damage? Interesting...

Probably not, but this product might work for you: amzn.to/3LMnQws And endoscope may also work and is a much cheaper option: amzn.to/3yjMgud

I got the same camera and when It's connected to the phone it is constantly making some tiny clicky sounds (every 5 to 10 seconds) and image freezes for 0.5 second. I can hear on video your camera is doing the same. Is it supposed to be that way?

@MakeItorBreakItNow 7 месяцев назад

I have the same question. I guess so. Also when you record the image there a 2-3 or more second lag between the video and audio tracks. Seems like its in need of a firmware update...

@Kahngaidin 7 месяцев назад

This is normal for thermal cameras in my experience. I have an expensive Leupold HD and had a seek handheld, they all click, I believe its the thermal imager refreshing or calibrating. And they both freeze up for a split second too until it warms up.

@kencooley5589 6 месяцев назад

That is the camera calibration. I use a fluke ti95 and it does the same thing. Every 15 seconds or so it clicks, the camera "freezes" and then resumes

@myutube6422 23 дня назад

I see that you didn't do a followup video on this, as to whether you kept it or sent it back.

@MakeItorBreakItNow 9 дней назад

I kept it and used the thermal camera in other videos like these: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-n4PWMeHfQDI.html and ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-sBxkRFQ_wts.html have another in the works this week related to cooling down windows in the summer, stay tuned.

Screen tearing on Galaxy Tab A8 (fresh install of Android 14). Works fine on my Galaxy S10e. If I downgrade the "TC View" software APK version, the screen freezes after startup, so that's useless.

@MakeItorBreakItNow 9 дней назад

I used it on my Samsung Galaxy Tab S9 FE and it burned an image on my camera, maybe because the tablets have more power? Anyway I was able to recalibrate the camera using the app and eliminated the ghost image...
