The FLIR One Thermal Imaging Camera for iOS allows you to see infrared light, the part of the electromagnetic spectrum that's invisible to the naked human eye. Thermal Imaging Cameras have been around for quite a while, but it's only recently that the technology has become small and affordable enough for regular folk who are not involved with the military and professional services, to consider buying one.
FLIR has launched the FLIR One thermal imaging camera for the iPhone and iPad. This incredible piece of technology essentially turns your iPhone/ iPad into a thermal camera, allowing you to see the invisible heat signatures that people and things emit.
With the FLIR One app loaded up and the FLIR One camera attached to your mobile device of choice (either iPhone or iPad), you can get a thermal reading on anything it's pointed at.
It's really that simple. The warmer something is, the more yellow it will appear on the thermal image, and the cooler something is, the more blue it will appear. The temperature reader also lets you see the exact temperature of something, too.
The FLIR One can be used to evaluate situations such as detecting gas leaks and spots (like indoor wiring) that are fire hazards. It can even be used at night on camping trips, for spotting animals hiding in the dark at close range. Or even ghost hunting!
One big change on the new FLIR One is that you no longer have to calibrate the thermal camera before taking each pic, everything is now automatic and taking thermal images is truly point-and-shoot.
FLIR ONE for iOS has been designed to connect specifically to the following models and has been certified to meet Apple performance standards. iPhone 6/ iPhone 6 Plus iPhone 5/ iPhone 5s iPad Air/ iPad Air 2 iPad Mini/ iPad Mini 3 iPad (4th Generation)
