The second generation of the thermal camera that has been talked about since January and that would be fully compatible with the iPhone and iPad has arrived. The first edition was launched in 2014 for the iPhone 5 and 5S, as an accounting accessory that allowed us to see and take thermal images with the ease and speed that the iPhone gives us.In addition, the accessory is quite small, useful and autonomous so as not to become a nuisance, in fact it could be considered a work tool in certain areas.
This second generation is already available for iPhone and iPad, it will also arrive on Android in July. This accessory connects to the iOS device through the lightning cable, so we presume that in the Android terminals it will be connected through the microUSB connector. This new edition of the portable thermal camera called FLIR has improved by four times the resolution of the first edition. Of course, the camera has its own battery so as not to reduce that of the device too much.
With this type of cameras many field works can be carried out, an essential tool for example for those who are dedicated to conditioning premises and houses, thus being able to ensure that there are no hot or cold air leaks in the different parts of the premises. In addition, this type of technology is quite common in the police and military fields due to its different field applications. POn the other hand, the SDK for developers, both for iOS and Android, will be released shortly to make the camera compatible with different applications and expand its range of actions.n.
If you want to buy it, you can reserve it for $ 250, or buy the old edition for $ 150 if the resolution change is not interesting enough. One more example of how the fact of taking smartphones with us has greatly promoted the world of accessories, becoming, for some, almost indispensable work tools due to the ease and speed of their use.
Well, it is one of the things that I would love if the same iPhone device had implemented. But it's still good news!
