Seek Shot features a 3.5” color touchscreen with an intuitive interface, making problem detection fast and easy. It is built to withstand the wear and tear of working in the field with its IP54 rating and extended battery life.

Ergonomically designed with high-resolution thermal sensors and SeekFusion, Seek Shot combines thermal and visible imaging together for precise detail and accuracy. And no, you can't see through walls, sorry, but neither can any infrared camera.Seek Shot enables you to discover, diagnose and share thermal images of leaks, shorts, and other inefficiencies in homes, buildings and facilities. It will even tell you what the warmest spot on the viewfinder is versus the coolest (this mode unfortunately seems broken at the moment on my device, constantly telling me the hot spot is 164-165F).Īt night, Seek's usefulness becomes largely self-explanatory - people, animals, cars, anything generating heat, becomes very easily visible against the darker, cooler background of the evening. You could use it for cooking, to examine how evenly distributed heat on your grill or frying pan is, and because Seek is precise to within a fraction of degree, you can even take the temperature of those surfaces after selecting the appropriate emissivity option (skin, paint, wood, granite, stainless steel, etc.).

Analyzing your home's wall insulation, looking for window leaks, drain stoppages, hot water pipes, or windows letting air in. Uses for technology like Seek are plentiful regardless. Still, this is a minor complaint when you consider just how far down Seek is bringing the price of thermal imaging. The thermal images still refresh slowly, but it gives things a slightly more "real" look, I'd say. Many modern thermal cameras get around the slow refresh rate of thermal sensors by combining a video feed of visible light from a second camera underneath the thermal imagery.

The one issue I take with video on the Seek is that because of the lack of a secondary video sensor (or the ability to underlay video from the phone camera in the thermal image), the frame rate is pretty abysmal. Exhaust leaks could be spotted more quickly. If, for example, you were looking for a radiator stoppage, you might be able to see it just by observing where and how quickly the heat distributes in the radiator when an engine is started cold. Mechanics could make use of this technology, too, though, and they wouldn't need that kind of precision.

Professional race teams and auto manufacturers already make use of thermal imaging, though on a much more advanced and scientific level, to see how engine and other components heat up during stress testing. Now, there are some caveats - still images captured from Seek look like butt, especially if they're of a relatively complex scene.

More temperature accuracy at extremes (the Seek isn't particularly accurate for temperatures over 90 Celsius, but it is sensitive from -40C to 330C, and Seek claims they're working on this), built-in visible-light cameras, extreme ruggedness, and bundled software suites designed to analyze images taken from the devices.Seek, though, doesn't really need a resume of its own as long as it works like it says on the box, and so far, I'm totally convinced. (A FLIR with even 160x120 resolution costs around 00, by the way.) Like most IR cameras, the Seek's field of view is also extremely narrow, at just 36 degrees.Now, it's true that these very expensive professional-grade systems do have some advantages over the Seek. Seek Thermal's sensor has a resolution of 206x156, but costs only a fifth as much. A handheld thermal imaging system with 80圆0 (yes, 80 pixels by 60 pixels) resolution from a reputable manufacturer like FLIR will set you back 00. Seek Thermal is a real thermal imaging device that you can attach to your smartphone's microUSB port (Galaxy S4, S5, and Moto X / Moto G currently supported officially) and feed live video from the IR camera to the display.One of the big problems with entry-level thermal imaging products has generally been, over the years, resolution. When that company then tells you they've built the world's first truly affordable thermal (infrared) camera and that it also attaches directly to your smartphone, you listen closely.No, this isn't a gimmick, a trick, or some kind of workaround using widely-available technology to emulate thermal imaging. When a company's pitch to you is that their smartphone accessory was developed in cooperation with Raytheon, you're likely to listen.
