It will also let you accurately measure temperatures – to within temperature variations smaller than a tenth of a degree, according to FLIR – and the company touts a number of household benefits for the device in addition to more adventurous ones (finding energy losses or water leaks, for instance). The app has photo, video, time-lapse, and timer settings, too.

You can presently place your order for the FLIR ONE for iOS version via the official FLIR website for $250. Because of its ability to see in the dark, it could also be used as a security monitoring device.
Impressive camera technology is only as good as the corresponding software. Utilizing thermal imaging technology is one possible way to make your images stand out in a crowd.
The app also offers nine different color schemes that change the live thermal view and the pictures you take.
The camera can help you identify areas in your home that are particularly cold and drafty or damp.
After using it for a few days, I can say the whole Flir One experience works really well.
Commenting on the launch, Andy Teich, President and CEO of FLIR Systems said, “Last year, we successfully introduced the world to the FLIR One, the world’s first thermal imaging accessory for a smartphone”.
The first generation FLIR ONE for Apple’s iPhone 5/5s platform is now available for $149.99. The only similar option on the market is the Seek thermal dongle, which costs the same, but has fewer features and powers itself off of your phone’s battery.

Android compatibility is a nice touch, but be sure to check Flir’s device testing results before plunking down any cash: the experience is apparently variable, with only the Galaxy S5, S6, and Nexus 6 earning full marks.
